I think our shift to indoor work has Balio feeling a little left out. He looks in the front door, but doesn’t want to come in. He loves the cold weather, but is accustomed to having farmers to follow around. Recently, he’s been pawing at my leg or mouthing my hand playfully, soliciting me to stay outdoors. I run around the middle circle of the driveway, getting both dogs fired up, but soon leave them to get back to office work. They find ways to entertain themselves though, chasing, jumping, and pestering each other within an inch of their patience… basically the same thing Rufus and I have been doing to amuse ourselves inside.
