There's something about the winter -- it's a time of ending, of letting go, of saying goodbye. Diva passed away earlier this year, but I couldn't bring myself to change my blog pic. Everytime I went onto my blog, I would look at her in the pic and feel a mixture of sorrow and joy.
However, time marches on and my heart (and Mike's) has slowly healed. Our other dog, Toby has filled up our hearts with even more doggie love -- and although we all miss Diva, life goes on. :) :)
So....
What is there to do in October when the snow has DUMPED and the roads are terrible?
DOG TOSSING!!
Without further ado, allow me to share with you photos of Toby's 11th annual dog toss. (Happens every winter...Hey, you have to get creative at amusing yourself when you live in the Crowsnest Pass!! LOL!!!)
Toby gets a running start -- she jumps in my arms and gets prepared to be *thrown* ....
Getting ready for the jump!!!
We have lift off!!!
GOTCHA!!
Getting ready for the TOSS...HEAVE....
HO!!!!!!
Feeling bored this winter? Go toss a dog. :) :) :) :)

She is so excited! Love it.
Amazing what games pets will play to keep their humans amused.
A closely related sport I have indulged in is cat tossing, with the destination being a snowdrift. The is best performed on a cat that badly wants out, on a day when there are huge fluffy snowdrifts at least a foot deep, preferably several feet. Guess where the cat that wants out is tossed.
They love to leap up through the snow like a submarine surfacing at top speed, get their bearings, and disappear into the drift again. Repeat several times. Then they want in. They're grumpy for a moment, but then are happy to let you brush and comb their fur.
Thus passes another long Canadian winter....
Awesome!!!
I am back again, amazed that there isn't video of this momentous event.
Keith -- LOL!! I was thinking of a video.... :) :)

I love it!!! I would try this with H-dog but I don't think I could catch and toss all 80lbs of him!
Hi-larious. Loved the pics.
OK that ROCKS! He's so happy. Remember when my dad used to throw me around the pool, yep, we all love it.
Maybe Mike should come to the pool next time and throw you around too - hahahahha! Can you just imagine people's faces - lol!
Hahahahaah -- Love it, Mike could really launch me too! LOL!
