FREE e-book "8 Things to Know About Veterinary Care"

January 19, 2009

Sometimes we catch a glimpse of a rare arctic ice bat in our very own backyard. Ooooh, scary!

She’s focused on her favorite B-A-L-L. Hence the intense, predatory face.

We use the double-size ball in the snow because her usual one is too easy to lose.

She will dive into deep snow to retrieve said ball. So, she builds up this icy coating when we play.

I took these photos last Monday, prior to the hip injury. We haven’t played ball since. I’m giving her another week off from deliberate “play.” We are taking walks, and I am letting her run around outside off leash a bit. She acts completely normal. We’ll see how the week progresses.
