Serenity by a forest creek

Obstacles to be overcome

This energetic puppy has started her trail training already at 8 weeks old.  Following an old  retired wolf dog who has lost his speed is a perfect start.

Spring time; coming out from the den

The mentor and his novice tenderfoot.

The former commencing his 16th summer season, while the latter her 1st.

Blue eyes

Despite turning bright yellow later on in life, the eyes look blue at four weeks old.

Spring and regeneration

The spring is the natural time for regeneration.

Old and privileged

A 15 year old jogging mate.  He knows all my habits and quirks and would never pass on the opposite side of a tree, would always take tree steps behind on a steep descent, never pull on the leash, always keep an easy trot even when the running goes slow and he would never miss the scent of wild animals.  He never goes inside a house, so thanks to him I spend a lot of my time in the open.
