BOXER ADVENTURES

 Booker and I ran 12 miles today.  That is Booker's longest run! As you can tell, he was super impressed 😅😂 We took a different route today to add in the miles.  It brought us down some rural roads that Booker has  never been on before.  We made our way down to the village and ran on sidewalks.  It was a different experience for him and he was pretty fascinated.   It was chilly but not super cold and very sunny and there were a lot of people outside putting up their Christmas decorations.  People waved at us and Booker did get a little distracted a couple of times but generally did great! I thought our run was going to be spoiled as only 1.5 miles from home 2 neighbor dogs - both very large and obese labs came at us. One was snarling and chasing after Booker - who of course - was attached to my waist.  Fortunately they went back to their owner without any damage and we carried on.   Next stop?  A 1/2 marathon run!!

 Booker and I got a long 10 mile run in this morning.  Sisko's CCL seems to be slowly, and I mean SLOWLY healing.  It's so hard because he clearly wants to run, walk and play, but he still has a noticeable limp.  He looked so pitiful this morning when I took Booker out and told him he had to stay.  But he is putting weight on it despite the limp and doesn't seem to be in pain, so I'm hopeful it will heal. It was a cold run, but we finally got some sun. Then this afternoon, we went outside for a while so the boys could try on their new Christmas scarves .  Sisko always feels so proud when I put clothes on him.  But Booker was only interested in attacking the ends of the scarf!

 We got a dusting of snow last night and I am not impressed! It's been cold, wet and crappy all week and Booker was just nagging me this morning.  So despite my hatred of the weather, I had to get him out for some exercise. We were one of the only brave souls on the trail this morning, and Booker didn't seem at all bothered by the cool air. I told him it's pajamas and watching football for the rest of the day!!
