long walk

my daughter and granddaughter came for a visit, they wanted to go for a walk behind the house but didn't want to get lost, I had to be at work, so I said follow the dogs and stay on the snomachine trail. so off they go, well there are many trails and paths, the lab was looking for a long walk and the hound was looking for a shorter walk. So when they got to a fork in the trail each dog wanted to go a different way (long walk, short walk), so they followed the lab, ok so that walk takes me about 1 hour, it took them 2 1/2 hours in the rain, the grand kid fell asleep on the sled, they were so cold and tired from that walk, when I got home from work they were drinking cocoa and bundled up in dry clothes, we got a fire going the the wood stove and things warmed up soon. They both slept really well that night.
