Running the dogs

Today was the first day that little 'h' had a go at running the dogs.  I was in the wrong place, as the dogs made a bee line for me, and not run gracefully past as they should have.  The Boss (from Tussock Tales) was in a better position, (extra 1), and managed to get all the dogs in the photo.  Little ''h' thoroughly enjoyed the experience, except when a rabbit ran onto the trail.  The dogs were off after the rabbit, but quick thinking by little 'h' and the dogs owner, they put on the brakes, which bought the sled (and dogs)  to a stand still.  

It was freezing and very windy, we (Piano lady, TheTuner, The Boss and myself) soon headed indoors for a hot chocolate!  Because I had walked less than 4,000 steps when I got home, I headed out through the park, and home again with over 8,000 steps done, which I am happy about.
