... I bring you Benny!
^^ Most awesome dog, filled with extreme awesomeness.
^^ Look at that tuck! This was last spring.... he looks a little bit like a coffee table right now. Tournament season is upon us though, so he's eating a bit less and getting more exercise.

Only for Benny would I drive through THIS, in APRIL, for a tournament:
A couple weekends ago the flyball team went up to Lloydminster for a tournament. Unfortunately, there was a hell of a storm that Friday. We were supposed to be heading up to Lloyd the night before the tournament, but we held off until Saturday morning. HOWEVER... with the bad storm, Ben was trapped out of town. So the roomie and I packed up all the dogs (as it turned out, someone was viewing the house that evening and we needed to get out), and braved the roads. The above picture represents the roads when they were still GOOD! I didn't have too much trouble getting out to Allan, but getting back was hell. I ended up getting stuck... but luckily, it was right by the potash mine during shift change. The most fantastic boy to ever walk the planet pushed and pushed and pushed... until he found his tow rope and pulled us out. All the while he was doing this in only a sweater, in blizzard conditions, in wind so intense it would blow you over if you weren't braced on something. I plan to, um, *stalk* the mine this summer as I intend to marry this boy. Or at the very least, buy him a cake.

But, we lived. Roomie lived. Ben and Epic lived. We all made it to Lloydminster and raced a great tournament (well, Ben did... Epic gets his first *kick at the warm-up can* on the Mother's Day weekend).
