Well at the age of 4 Gordie finally went ice fishing for the first time. This dog is crazy happy when he's out in the snow and yesterday was no exception, in fact when we got home he came in the front door and immediately went out the back door to go sleep in the snow. We stayed close to home to make it a short first outing and he loved it. We stayed out for about 4 hours and at 3.5 hours the winds shifted to the east and it cooled considerably so I finally coerced (gently forced) a scared pup into the confines of the one man flip over on the bed where Brook used to sleep. He was extremely nervous when I closed her up but quickly accepted it and fell asleep for the last 30 minutes of our outing. While I have no pictures of him in the hut I'll include one of Brook from several years ago for reference as to the available space Gordie was in. Oh and for what's worth fishing wise, no Walleye were to be had but I did save myself from a Skunking in the final moments with a dink Perch.
