Let's see, I think I got 6 inches of snow all year, not an option for me....but it does sound like fun and an something I'd like to experience. Maybe I can visit Norther country and see some "real" snow.
sledding ... is it on a piece of wood or plastic and hurtling yourself downhill?
We do that regularly here in quebec in the winter ... and there are places were slides of packed snow are made on high mountainsides (like alpine skii places) and tracker tires and rubber rafts are used to slide are amazing speeds down the "cliffs" -i hate the hights and usually bring a book to site by rg=the fire till cocotte is frozen and wants a nap in my lap-.
I know how it feels having to work with dogs that know different commands for the same action :D
My best friend puppy knows other commands and from time to time I help her to do some training....
Anyway the snow has recently returned here. The past 5 years we almost had no snow. Only in the mountains Noe seems that we will have heavy snowfalls. Right now we have 7 C.... and is September. Brrrrrr.
Wow, that sounds like fun. The quantity of snow here per year probably does not equal one of your snow falls. Therefore, I'll stick with agility. We have fun and it's awesome in terms of obedience training. She is a spoiled in-door mix of boxer and ???, but I rescued her and she is very loyal and a great companion. It sounds like you enjoy your dogs too. I am also fostering a dog for someone re-doing their kennel. So I have a golden retriever as a guest. He has certain commands too and they are not the same. lol, it makes for fun when trying to work both dogs! I am sure you can imagine. I never thought of it in terms of exercise for me, but now that YOU mention it, I think it is.
Agility is great exercise both for you and doggies. Mine are more problem solvers when they need to go over an obstacle. They will never go on a command to jump etc but find the easiest way to get over it, or under....
As for sledding. You know Heidi? Ehm I know I should be a little too old for this but is FUN!
I had in the past years a dog that liked dog sledding. My actual dogs simply will stand there and watch :)
Today for example I couldn't go hiking because of a heavy rain but still I got out for a good walk near the lake. Obviously with t both dogs.
I am a bit less of a risk taker. I like the outdoors but since my depression, don't spend a great deal of time out there. I can tell you all the things I used to like doing; but that was yesterday so to speak. Today, I enjoy my granddaughter and her mom and dad (my son), my grandmother, Computer games, chat and this website, I like to dance (usually around the house by myself) I don't do bars and that's the only place around here to go dance. I like Tai Chi. I love to research and study stuff, though I don't do that as much, due to the focus, concentration issues, I still work at it. I like to meditate and spend time alone, I like my dogs. She and I train in agility but don't compete. We just have fun with it.
I'm not sure I know what sledging is and am quite curious.
I admire you adventurous spirit; keep going at it. Be careful!
Congratulations on these successes! Doing something that pushes the envelope can make you feel more alive. I'm a little like Diva, anxiety problems will keep me from some things, but as I get older I am wondering why. I have become more active and moved outside my comfort zone on some things recently. The feeling is wonderful, like I'm accomplishing something and I totally get what you mean by feeling well when doing them.
I am glad to hear that you are finding joy in your adventures, they are accomplishments to be proud of! Keep up the good work and keep posting, it is inspiring.
You sure are adventurous, good for you! Me I must admit I was diagnosed with anxiety disorder in my early teens. So, I am more on the cautious side then the adventurous side. But I think it is great that you go off on adventures and enjoy yourself. Good for you!
