Forum Rules | 1. Here we prefer clarity to agreement. Obviously not everyone is going to agree on a topic; here we prefer to talk out our differences in a respectful manner to ensure mutual understanding and respect. 2. Read the Stickies and Announcements. Each sub-forum may have specific rules which trump the Forum Rules in cases where there may be conflicting information. Read the rules of each board before you post so that you are clear on the expectations of the staff. 3. Respect ALL Staff and Admins. These people volunteer of their time and MUST be respected as well as their word adhered to. They are responsible for maintaining a free, open, clear and organized forum. Anyone found to be openly undermining any official ruling by a staff member will be warned. 4. Signatures: One picture only and no links. Images: To keep the forum looking neat and tidy, we ask that members insert just one picture only in their signatures. The picture should be no more than 200x500 pixels and should be of an appropriate subject, for example, your dogs and their names. Should you need assistance creating an appropriate signature, please PM an Admin and we would be happy to help! This is to ensure that signatures remain a welcome addition to our forum instead of a cumbersome distraction. Links: Hyperlinks in signatures--unless to a personal blog or photo stream of your dogs (like Flckr or Piscasa, for example)--are strictly prohibited. Please PM a staff member with any questions or concerns regarding this rule. |

| Well, I am not going back there until spring and it dries out.
The place where Bodhi and I run is a wooded area bisected by a logging road. We usually stay on the gravel road, but sometimes we run on a single track trail that goes up and into some old growth. Bodhi is harnessed and he's fine on the wide road once I let him mark a couple times at the start When he gets on the trail, it seems like he wants to mark every dam fern and stump! But that's another topic.
Anyway in the middle of this loop trail into the old growth are two creeks spanned by logs. I never know how Bodhi is going to react when we come to them. If the logs are dry, he just scampers across and I run right behind him. But today leaves were down; the logs were wet and muddy. At the first bridge, he trotted out, then put it into four paw drive and shot off the bridge. I was in the middle of the log, lost my balance and fell. Luckily, I was able to jump as I slipped off the log and missed the creek.
At the next bridge, I went first with him walking behind me. Almost to the other side, he leapt for the bank from behind me. And he leapt from the opposite side that I was holding the slack harness line. Which sent me over onto my knees. Bodhi had it in double compound low in the mud scrabbling for all he was worth.
I'm starting to think I need an old engine block to put in my pack when we first go skijoring if I want to survive.

| Don't forget you can 'pizza' instead of 'french fry' with skis.
What a weird little quirk he has go there. Sioux had a MAJOR fear of all bridges for the first few months we had him. I remember that ending up in a couple of nasty falls. |
