By the time I took Kicker home,I was living in a van (旅居房車),so he was thrown into van life from day one.At this point,my life was far more adventurous than it had been…
Right out of the gate,I took him to ski touring,which is a lot like cross-country skiing but in wilder land.At first,Kicker would just stay nestled in my jacket,but with each new day,he would run on his own for a little while before I carried him again.
We also went on some winter camping adventures in the high peaks of the Uinta Mountains,and we tried snow kiting.He ran around while I skied.He learned to speed-fly and kiteboard.One time he vomited(嘔吐) all over the new cushions on my bed.Boy,did that stay smelly for days!Still,living in a van with a dog was great.
I had dreamed of visiting Alaska since I was a child,so being able to share that trip with-Kicker felt incredible.There's something to be said about shared experiences and how they help develop a strong bond.Together we kayaked,snowmobiled,and even ended up,exploring deep blue ice caves in Worthington Glacier.Kicker learned to come snowboarding with me in the mountains of Alaska.He would hike part of the way,and I would carry him the rest.I would always let him run next to me as I boarded,but I usually ended upputting him on my shoulders for the rest of the ride down---he had grown far too big to fit in my jacket.
Having a dog has been one of the most rewarding things in my life.For me,it's about the time spent together exploring,sharing experiences,working through challenging situations,snuggling,and ultimately taking care of one another.
