Saturday Slight

 

Twas a day filled with exceptional beauty, good news, doggie achievements, team victories and many other reasons to smile. 

It's not often that blend of good stuff comes in a one-day package, but yesterday had it all. 

On the tube, there were Olympic happenings in Italy and slivers of reassurance here in the United States, thanks to the Supreme Court. 

Outside, the air was brisk and clear. Views were jaw dropping, pretty much everywhere, pretty much all day long. 

The Sandpoint High School women won their semi-final in tournament action down south.  Today the Bulldogs play for the 5A State Championship. 

Here at home, last night, the Sandpoint High men pulled off an impressive victory over Lakeland in their first district tournament game. 

They'll travel to Lewiston on Tuesday.  A win would net them a ticket to State.  A loss would send them to Grangeville next Saturday to vie against a Southern Idaho team for a second chance to compete in the State Tournament. 

We had so much fun with our doggies.  A while back I purchased a harness and leash for Bridie who has never gotten over pulling and choking herself when leashed to her collar. 

The new equipment was life-altering for our experiences of walking the dogs on leash. We took them to the Sand Creek trail which begins just off from Bridge Street. 

It was evident within minutes that the harness would make all the difference, as Bridie seemed totally relaxed as she moved along the path from beginning to end.  Foster has always been great on a leash pretty much anywhere we take him. 

Bridie and Foster also pretty much dismissed meeting other dogs along the way. 

Yesterday's bare, level surface on the pathway made the walk easy on all of us.  

After all, when the humans' eyes are enjoying dose after dose of sheer winter beauty in the old hometown while the dogs' curious noses are sniffing away at a multitude of alluring canine scents, that ain't bad.

Now that we know for sure that our dogs are "civilized," we may take them for more walks around town---with poop baggies in pockets, of course. 

In short, twas one great day to be alive, hearing good news while enjoying Sandpoint and the world around us. 

Enjoy the photos.  

Happy Saturday.
