It Snowed overnight! The Icelandic Sheepdogs are loving it!

I on the other hand, want spring!!! LOL So in keeping with this, I am putting up some of our spring/summer hiking at our local river, that is only five min away or a good half hour walk, I love that our little area is ringed by the river and a creek..

Such a lovely quiet area to live in.. We had the most amazing sight the other day, we must have had thousands of geese fly overhead, the sky was just black streams of them, for a good hour, the noise was overwhelming and we just went outside and stood and watched, peaple on the road just pulled over and got out to watch it happen..

We are on the flight path so we always get a good number of geese coming though in spring and fall but not like this, I have never seen this many birds all at the same time since I was working at Black Dog outfitters Duck hunting camp in Alberta.. Truly a stunning site..

We normally take one dog per person or if its the older dogs and very well trained, we can take a extra dog, they love it, They like to go swimming and wading and are very happy to be there.. Right now the rivers is huge and swollen and would be very unsafe to even consider taking the dogs or ourselves near but in another month or so, we will be able to start our trekes again, and greatly looking forward to it..

We will be starting to take the dogs out for runs in the hiking trails and forest park near our place about a seven min drive the other way, its got just over 300 km of trails for walking, and cross country sking in the winter.. I love to go walking in it, its so peaceful..

Otherwise, not much else new at this point, birthing box is coming out of storage this weekend and we are planning on building more agility equipment for my own set up, and trimmng sheep feet this easter long weekend..

Otherwise, just the normal basic training and work with everyone, starting to gear up to my twice daily Show training for the two dogs going to the show April 13, 14 and 15th, and am up to daily grooming for them as well, they look wonderful and hope to keep it that way.
