radiant afternoon

petra and i had the evening to ourselves last night. so we made a date of it. after strolling along the muddy boulevard i joined her in the backyard for a little fetch. it was a glorious sunlit evening and felt much warmer than the 39*F. the snow was perfect for tossing and petra jane was thrilled and bounding around the yard when i boasted the tennis racket and ball. i wore her out pretty good, winter has taken its toll on our pup. she may play outside for several hours everyday and be an 'active' girl but a good round of fetch will exhaust my baby. but with all her enthusiasm she would not step on the iced bog that is spilling over into our backyard when the ball bounced too far. thus, i was made to sacrifice my feet and crack through the thawing ice into the mire below.

shucks, traipsing around the yard with soggy feet was worth it to see my girl so gay.
