When Kathy, one of our dog park friends, texted to see if we wanted to take Duke on an off-leash hike, I was a little hesitant to say yes. Duke is a good boy, but he’s also only 10 months old and has a strong prey drive (oh hi, German Shepherd + Husky + Akita + Jindo mix). Literally all of his breeds were bred for hunting, guarding, and patrol duties.

January for us, as for most people I think, was a time of resetting and getting back to routine. I generally love the Christmas season, so it always kinda surprises me how ready I am for it to be over by the end of December. There’s something oddly re-energizing about routine and productivity.
