After over five days of relative inactivity, the Presto Dog pack has once again been able to run, cavort and play in their big back yard!

As noted in the post immediately below this one, on Sunday, 12/16/07, we had a precipitation nightmare in the area where we live. Temperatures dropped overnight, and the next day we realized an iced-out, frozen over condition that prevented us from letting our pack run in their yard. But we didn't realize this turn of events until after the five of them were released into their yard where they in no time became stranded in the iced-over yard, unable to get any footing as they galantly tried to make their way back into their home. It took the combined efforts of both me & the Presto Dog bride to gather & rescue them.

Temperatures edged up past freezing today & the ice began melting. In turn, this gave the dogs purchase for their paws and we had another great time kicking a collection of balls around the yard, chasing each other and just having a good ol' time.

Things are back to normal, at least until Mother Nature, Ol' Man Winter or some other ficticious being with none the less the power to cause all kinds of problems in our lives decides to throw another potential knock out punch our way.
