Introducing Logan! (Attackpoint name TBD and apologies to Revy for confusing matters by choosing the same dog name.)

Logan has just arrived from northern Quebec where a kind family nursed him back to health after they found him starving and walking around on his own. The temperature there hit -52C recently so he was very, *very* lucky. The vet estimates that he is 1-2 years old. BazingaDog is excited to have a new little brother, and 'Bent and I are very happy to have a 2-dog family once again.

Coach LD invited 'Bent and me to join her for a ski on the Humber River. There are only certain times in the winter when ski conditions are good there, and today was definitely one of them! Much of the time, we were skiing on snow over ice but occasionally we were skiing on a skating rink. Our poles were only minimally helpful. Sometimes we skirted moving water with care and other times we crawled on our hands and knees under fallen trees.

We skied up to Duffy's Lane and saw the huge new Bolton bypass bridge that hasn't opened yet. Along the way, we made tracks, pruned fallen trees and stopped for photos. On the way back, we skied almost as fast as my crappy waxless touring skis could go since Coach LD had to get home for her child care. What a fantastic wilderness adventure in the middle of town! :)









We found these mystery tracks in several places along the river. They include some regular deer tracks.



Time deducted for photography and pruning.
