It was such a nice afternoon that Nico and I couldn’t pass up the opportunity to walk in the woods along the shores of Lower Saranac Lake. Nico got to run like a wild man through the woods. I’m sure he’s going to hurt himself one of these days. He jumped over a log and smashed his shoulder into a small tree in mid-air, sending him flying off to the side. I thought for sure he was hurt, but he landed on his feet, then just turned and stared at me as if to say, “You saw nothing.” Khyber got beat up a bit from running around in the woods, but the net benefit of being able to run is worth it. That’s true for both of us because I really enjoy watching a dog run through the woods.
