My big beautiful boy is 7 years old today! Officially a senior now but you'd never know it.

He already got the milk from my cereal bowl this morning and a whole half a bagel with cream cheese (huge favorites of his) and now he's sitting over by the skijoring harnesses with a look on his face saying, "We're going soon, right dad?". We'll be out doing his favorite (and mine, and Frigga's) thing and be out on the snow not much longer after I post this thread.

The only thing more to say is thank you, Odin, for so many years I've been privileged to have you in my life. And thank you also for keeping that life whole when no other could. I love you dearly, Big Boo.

Happy Birthday, hunka-hunka-burnin' German!! GSDad, age 7 is senior supposedly, but to be honest, my last GSD came to me at age 7.. and his best years were ages 10 and 11, and he lived to be 15-- happily! Soooo many adventures yet for you to enjoy with sweetie-pie Odin! HAPPY B DAY ODIN!

Thanks for all the kind wishes, folks! Odin appreciates praise very much so I'll pass them along.

Sorry, Onyx'girl, but no pics came out. I think this new camera I bought is defective and I'm going to bring it back. Nothing but blurry images in all my shots. If you look at the still pictures I posted in the Stories section that were taken with it even those leave much to be desired.

3dogcrew, we usually just go out around our house here but occasionally go to places over near Moretown and Waitsfield, even Stowe. Odin and I learned this sport from a woman over in Moretown and as I see you're in central Vermont you may wish to meet up with her. I recommend Gail very highly. You can find out her info and many others involved in Vermont skijoring here:

P.S. to Patti: Thanks very much for the words of encouragement. I try hard not to think of the passing of years but I'm especially mindful of it because of how very special Odin is. So I try to look at it from the other side. Each day is a gift, every moment a treasure. To have him at all is a blessing beyond description.
