Akiva has an intense need to play.

Sometimes, just for him, Iris plays.

Later, we test the snow.

Iris does not necessarily like sledding, either.

Sometimes, just for Akiva, she goes.

Charlie the Australian shepherd

is staying at our house for two weeks,

so we take her to the sled run

at Park Bellevue

where she eagerly chases

the toboggan down

and up the hill.
