"she just laughs/ the boulevard is not that bad"

A very productive day. We've been making new doghouses so that they all match. And let me tell you, it looks flippin' spectacular. Everyone is kenneled with a partner, except for Roary- because she's prone to eating other dogs. Sosa and Brew are alone, but they're in smaller kennels, so they have to be. Brew loves his new spot right up next to the house. Brother is, of course, acting like a baby and begging me to put him back with his sisters. He's trying to get me to believe that Klonnie is the most. horrible. dog. ever. but, for some reason, I just don't buy into it. (probably because Klonnie is the most submissive, easy-going fur ball ever.) Reb and Yukon have made out like bandits. They have the whole barn section, or "down below" as we call it, to their bachelor selves. In fact, Yukon has yet to realize he is inside a fence.
Today's run was the fun part. I couldn't do the full 5.4 with the main team because the giant hill is covered in ice, so I went 4. Fox and Freddie lead, Keytone and Heini behind- no pun intended. They were pretty solid, but I think they're just getting sick of the road. Fox seems to be nervous about running over the icy spots, with good reason, and wasn't comfortable with any speed. I kept them at around 15/16mph because I didn't want any slipping and shoulder injuries. The second team was 100% perfect. Tune and Oak were in lead with May and Joppie in the middle and Brew with Star in back. Brew gave his best run in a while. I should have added length to Star's neckline, but she tried.
The absolute best part was when we ran by the neighbor's house and they came outside to take pictures and cheer. It was pretty much a parade- an awesome parade that consisted of 6 dogs, a 4wheeler and a Ford F150. I mean, I can see why they were in awe...we DID just wash the truck. Next time, I should definitely take tootsie rolls and remember to watch the Princess Diaries for lessons on a flawless, delicate wave. And, you never know, someday maybe I can get Santa himself to round out the procession. Eat your heart out Macy's.
