2 January 2002
Nancy here. I'm finally getting back into the swing of being at work again, with the holidays over and all. We have snow coming down outside now, which should make my work interesting in the next few days. It will also be interesting to see how the hounds react to the snow. This time last year we only had Hunk and Jeany, and Bo was still four days away from becoming a permanent resident. Profile was still living in home #2 and Liz was still in her crate at the farm. How strange that is to think about...only having 3 hounds! It's also strange how much our lives (and our pack structure) changed over the past year. September may have been an unpleasant month in many ways, but for me September of 2001 will forever be my "Old Bat's" gotcha month. I'm anxious to see her in the snow, she's so finicky! It's funny that I just ordered her boots yesterday for protecting her toes that have corns...and now she'll get to use them for real in the snow.
This the greatest picture from last year of Hunk in the snow, standing very still, looking like a deer...I love that picture, because it conveys to me all the simple, still beauty that greyhounds possess, while at the same time reminding me that just after Scott snapped the shutter on that photo Hunk was off and running again. How on earth did I ever live without hounds in my life?
