I went sledding the day after Christmas. This caused a flare that lasted until I went to bed last night. 12/26-12/31. 5 day duration. That is the same as the one I had last year in the second week (est.) of December.
The image above (and all the Sadie photos) was taken on 12/31, yesterday. Today there was no snow at all. The mist and fog is from the warm air meeting the cold snow. It is kinda cool to walk when it is like this. All sound is muffled. I guess it could be considered eerie, but I enjoyed it. I don't think I would feel the same way if it was dark.
Sadie ran off on me and wouldn't come when I called. She had not been out in awhile and didn't want to leave yet. Think of a 5 year old kid. She ignored the horn honking too. So I drove off and parked in the corner of the parking lot
out of sight. Within 10 minutes I heard her tags and saw her looking for me. She was running from one office door to the next thinking I was inside. Then she saw the car and began trotting toward it. I am not sure if she knew I was in the car or not. She hesitated when I got out and opened the back door for her. I think she thought she was in trouble. But I think it was punishment enough to temporarily hide from a dog with separation anxiety. And I consider the experiment a success. Today, she stayed close to me when we walked. Not attached at the hip close, just more mindful of my where-abouts.
