A Typical Training Day

6:15 am: Wake up to water truck rumbling directly outside my window followed by approximately 100 excited dogs. No alarm clock needed. Put on lots of layers, put water on stove, put sugary hot beverage mix in mug. 6:30 am: Harness dog teams, hook up to fourwheeler, run around loop (see pic). 9:00 am: Finish loops, water, feed, and scoop poop. 11:00 am finish chores for the day, spend about half an hour or so petting the dogs, taking care of the puppies, and playing with the pups. That's the usual without extravagant details. Afternoons consist of taking a nap, heading to town, working out, talking with my fellow awsome coworkers, making lunch, and playing with the dogs some more. In the evening we continue to chill, feed the dogs again, and watch the Colbert Report & the Daily Show. The Scdoris' watch it almost everynight and so I've joined the bandwagon. Quite entertaining and informative...Bedtime arrives around 9:00 or 10:00. The only thing that sucks is waking up in the middle of the night to go to the bathroom outside. The stars are gorgeous, but peeing is cold. I like the desert. It smells like sage in the morning, is sunny a lot, and beautiful at night. Oh yeah, and I get to see the sunrise every morning as we train the dogs and that is also beautiful with the mountians in the background. You've all seen beautiful sunsets before so I'll let you write your own poetry. Bye the way, there are a bunch of protesters outside the coffee shop I'm in protesting the war, it's interesting background noise.
