Walking on water (ice)
I have meant to tell you about last weekend. Joan took me around a lake we used to run around often (not so much anymore). Well, first we stopped and she left me in the car. I was wondering what she was doing when she went into a building. A few minutes later, she came out with Roberta, my favorite friend, and I got wiggly and let her pet me through the open window. But then Joan and I continued on to the lake without Roberta. We started walking around it. Here's a picture of me when Joan let me run out onto the ice (I'm on the bottom right, with my leash on.)
We kept walking around the lake and then I saw that there were a lot of people out on the lake. Some had sticks and were whacking something hard. Joan calls it "hockey." It was freezing so we kept walking but Joan took a picture of the National Pond Hockey Championships!!
Later on, Joan decided that we'd cut a corner of the lake and we went out there. She took off my leash and I had fun sliding on the ice and then running when there was a snowy patch and then sliding again. I could tell Joan was kind of scared of the ice - she says now we would NOT go on the ice at all because it has been really warm. Anyway, I enjoyed my time over at Lake Calhoun - then we came home for food!
