A breath of fresh air

We certainly needed it today. Since I was going to stay close to home I let Morris come along.
I'd walked this hillside yesterday afternoon and found no sign of coyotes.
The den they've used for the past few years is empty.
I counted 10 deer beds around the old rock.
The paths are well traveled in the woods.
The tracks of mice and squirrels criss-cross the fresh snow.

Running seemed to be the theme of the day.
Morris played a JRT snowplow.
He loves the outdoors, that is pretty obvious.

A bit like his owner, I think. We both need our outdoor playtime.
It helps us to behave while inside the house.

Morris resting in a sunspot on the living room floor after our walk. Notice the toys surrounding him.
He likes to keep them close.
