Relief

I didn't know I'd ever see our dog play with her best pal again. He's been gravely ill. He's somehow pulled through (antibiotic injections for a mysterious virus) and normal service resumed this morning. This is their third winter of playing in the snow, his long-haired coat ending matted in ice balls, the poor dog slowly thaws when he gets back indoors. Their frozen "play" ferocity always amazes me.

It was my turn to slowly thaw after our second walk of the day, up the top of the hill. It ended in blizzard conditions. We both could have done with snow goggles! The camera needless to say stayed in the case.
