Cisco report

Good continuation everyone and body!

Or are You supposed to say Happy Easter... though the Easter’s passed already.. and maybe You said that after the new Year...darned....blasted these people have so strange greeting routine’s making one all dazed..

Voff on You all! (that for sure works every time)

It's finally became spring at our place, as You can see from the photo's! and I've learned new things from the springtime too, I can walk on water (now how hard can that be). Then You'd see me walking on the snow!

The fact that I can walk on the snow has a many advantages with it. Now I can chase away intruders regardless the direction they're approaching from, so when the reindeers tries to sneak up on us from the forest rim You’d see me charging on them... oh my oh my You'd see how scared they get!

My mistress is always standing cheering me when I'm doing that.. regardless how far away i run I can hear her when she stand's on the porch shouting.. mostly I can only hear "Cisco", the rest is kind off blurred, though I know it's something like how good I amand courageous.

The other day all of us dogs where hiking in the forest and Zoi and I saw a bunch of reindeers. Since it's mine and Zoi's job to keep the road safe from intruders we where off to chase away the reindeers and our mistress she was cheering her heart out for us. It took a couple of hours to chase the hoodlums away and we had to run for a bit. And when we where on our way back home we met our mistress on a snow runner. She must have seen that we where pooped since she walked us back home rather fast and then we where to sleep and rest in the master bedroom by ourselves.. though she did let us lay there for a rather long period of time so she must have believed that we where really tired.. she haven’t quite understood that being a reindeer chaser like we are we have a splendid shape. Then she must have been impressed and flabbergasted by us since she didn’t say a word on the whole time when she took us home.

But these intruding reindeers.. they’re really some piece of work.. I think they have done something with the snow here at the homestead.. It’s like this. The other day when my mistress let me out on the morning for the first check-up of the perimeters.. I ran as always down to the barn first to check up on things, then I leaped and sailed out on the meadows and in to the forest to chase off possible reindeer threat’s.. but after taking that sailing leap and where about to run I couldn’t… I had to crawl instead!!! The reindeers have been there during the night and took away all the crust so regardless how hard I worked I couldn’t get on top.. I had to swim back to the porch.. jikes that was hard work..

I think I’m going to take a talk with that Jesus dude on any inside hints.. Take it easy in the spring weather and remember.. Anywhere anytime You need a courageous hero…  call for a collie!!!

The same report from a more reality based angle...

Damned dogs Damned dogs Damned dogs

Though I reckon I should say damned dog since it’s one and only mister who winds up the whole team..

As it’s been said.. the spring is here, with it the crusty snow.. and the crust that gives my beloved small demons the freedom to run anywhere... there’s nothing stopping them from running to kingdom come… not even a fence (it’s 3feet under the snow)

Cisco is used to sink in the snow when he walks out on the meadow and that’s the reason for him not going there (until a few weeks back) Being in his own world he tracked Tindra one day faaar out on the meadow. In the centre of the meadow he looks up and realizes that, help.. I’m on the meadow, now I’m sinking!

Careful as a teenager sneaking home late at night (no I'm not talking from personal experience =)) he gets back to firm soil step by step. The next day I catch him standing and looking out over the snow and thinking.. after a while of thinking and a few hour’s later he spots a reindeer and I can see him thinking “this is it, chicken or tiger” and he leaps over and out on the crusted snow after the reindeer, all with the face of someone who just come to insight with the meaning of life. I on the other hand stand shouting and yelling to make him stop but he doesn’t listen.. after that I had shouted myself hoarse I turn around and get inside..

A few days later I take as usual the whole bunch of dogs to go for a long walk. We turn in on our normal snow runner track and start walking. After a 100 meters I can see how Cisco and Zoi heads off in a pace that would have cost me my drivers license fifty times over.. quickly I realize that they are chasing reindeers.. I shout, I yell.. and soon I’m roaring too.. the curses hails and the cussing is so bad that it would have made devil himself blush… Cisco and Zoi on the other hand keep on running with full speed, completely deaf for my threats…

Have You thought about a thing, when Your angry.. and I mean really damned.. you can walk fast.. really really quick.. even on a snowrunner track. That’s what I did too.. I walked five kilometers in supersonic speed after these darned dogs.

After cussing and swearing and getting tired I turned and went home. Three hours later when I had got help starting the snow runner we went off to get the good-for-nothing dogs.. after a half of a kilometre we met these becoming long-pile rugs who came strutting home ever so happy.

I was so angry so angry so angry that I could even look at them on the way home.. In a fast pace we got home with the fore mentioned dogs in leash.. and then they where to sit in the nasty corner (in this case the bedroom) until I where back in a calm state of mind. They say that Your not supposed to be angry on the dog when it comes to one… You try to be nice and rosy when the only thing You can think about is with garment they would look best as..

Revenge is a coarse best served chilled...

After a week of  ravishing sunshine and plus degrees the crust on the snow has slowly but surely been destroyed… completely without Ciscos knowledge…

The other day he was let out just as normal and just as normal he threw in the high gear down to the barn after which he in a gigantic leap sailed out on the meadow (naturally in the purpose of a chase).

HA he sunk like a rock!!

Imagine his flabbergasted look when the supposed to be race finish ended in a belly flop and he had to swim back to firm soil…

Now it will be a while before he heads out on a reindeer hunt..

Like I said.. sweet revenge…

Warm spring greetings from north
