Mr Putty Pants Winter Activities

I'm back, sorry for my absence. Girly wouldn't let me near the computer after I spilled hot chocolate all over the keyboard of her precious Mac...sheesh, some humans can be so anal.

So, we, that is myself and my human handlers, stopped by Girly's parents place in the country. My humans had bought me a boat so I could kayak with them (after relentless begging by me of course). But there was snow on the ground, so they thought it would be fun to launch me from the top of the hill and watch me zoom down into the pond at the bottom. I didn't get a say in this as they already had me strapped in. Here I gooooooo!

Onto the pond I went, pretty cool. I know I'm looking very dashing in my woolly cap and mittens as I zoom along the water in my spanking new red kayak.

I managed to get around the pond a few times before the momentum wore off. It seems I'm supposed to do some paddling or something to keep this boat going. I'll have to attach some kind of outboard on this rig so I can side swipe my humans as I zoom past them.

Here I am coming ashore after some exhilarating boating activity. Dodged a few snapping turtles and scared some fish. Can't wait to do more.

Seems my future boating activities will have to wait as the big snows came down by next morning laying thick on the ground at Girly's parents place. A little fellow like me could get lost in that.

Glad to see you're back! I missed you!

Seems like you handled your boat very well on your own. You'll be all set once we get rid of this freakin' snow. I bet you're counting the days 'til spring.

Hi Teena,
It's a good thing I'm all woolly, it keeps me warm in these situations. Thank you for noticing my prowess as a boat handler, but then I have a natural talent for most things. I might even have a go at some winter sports.

I'm looking forward to you dogsledding. I've done it three times and ... um ... er ... I think you could handle a team of eight dogs.

I'll get my humans to do all the grunt work while I sit on the sled and direct...ha ha!

Just a warning ... the dogs poo as they are running and you'll get sprayed with snow and poo as they whip through it.

Yikes....I'll have to have a wind shield or perhaps a little compartment built with heating and a drink dispenser. Thanks for the warning.
