Mid-stride stick readjustment, and look at those pearly whites! Besides a few play sessions in the yard, Nico has spent most of the day sleeping on the couch. It was a cool overcast day and all of us just puttered around the house all day.
Nico is officially a member of the Paul Smith's College community. He got his name on our office door before I did. On our lunch break we hung out with one of his dog colleagues, Gouda. They ran, wrestled, and played hard. We may get a talking to by Shelly when we get home because Nico is covered in sap and dog slobber.
This is Nico milliseconds after launching for a full out run around the yard. You can see the power built up in his rear legs, propelling him forward with enough momentum to lift his front legs as they start their forward reach into the all-out running gait. There are few things more enjoyable in life than watching a dog run.
