  • Tired to take a trail during my run today but that was short lived as the rain from this morning didn’t make the snow slush but actually just a nice smooth sheet of ice.

  • Darby Hatrick Walker

    Welcome to the family Darby ”Hatrick” Walker…

    Yes, this was our foster dog Daffy, who somehow, some way became another forever dog we have even though it was the busiest time to even think about adding another responsibility. At the end of the first week, the kids were in love with him and my wife and I were quite fond of him as well but couldn’t even fathom the number of activities and work ahead to try to make this work. We decided to ask for another week from Second Hand Hounds and they granted it, but as the second week went on I think we knew the answer was going to be yes as it was yet another week he was with us and we were all becoming attached. Don’t get me wrong potty training is never great and when everyone is busy it makes it that much harder. However, he seemed to catch on pretty fast as well as started sleeping through the night from 11pm-6am by the end of the first week. Seemed too perfect. So fast forward to today when our activities have now wound down, I am happy to say we still have him and glad we figured it out.

    Where the name came from you ask? Well Darby (Hendrickson) was the first Minnesota Wild player to score on home ice at the Excel Energy Center once the team was created in 2020. Our eldest son used to watch the History of the Minnesota Wild over and over all the time when he was younger so needless to say it has been ingrained in our heads.

    Darby Hatrick and Lainey Lou - I think the dogs have become friends as they sit in the Shed office all day together.

  • Time to get back to work so I had to force myself to get out for a run. While out I was reminded I am thankful that this bridge was built as I didn’t like having to run on the edge of the road previously. Not that it stopped me but the bridge with a big sidewalk is nice.

  • Sun was out and I had a free afternoon while the girls went shopping so I decided to make a long run today. Felt good today and kind of strange this is only my second longest run for the year and it is March. 🤷🏻‍♂️

  • 📸 Photoblogging: Day 18 - I sometimes wish we would have the extra 4 feet of inside shed space instead of the portico. However, it is nice on rainy and snowy days. Oh look it’s a deer! 🦌

  • 🎬 Family Movie Night (Take 2) - Secret Headquarters - Another good family movie that I thought was good. I was surprised our youngest liked it the most and I didn’t even know she was watching that closely. I will say the oldest and myself might have been glued to some basketball still 🫣.

  • 🎬 Family Movie Night - Rock Dog 3 : Battle the Beast - Nothing spectacular about this movie but a good one to watch with the family as you might have another screen playing basketball games for some of the family 😉

  • Don’t let this sunshine fool you, it was single digits out there today with a -°F feels like temp. Not to mention dodging ice from yesterday’s rain, sleet, and snow. However, as I had the day off work this wasn’t a bad way to spend 30 min.

  • 📸 Photoblogging: Day 16 - With the rain, sleet, snow, and now lots of wind is not going to fair well for anyone traveling on these roads as the temperatures are dropping too.

  • Was an overcast day today but overall felt good on my run for the first 4 miles. Then I think the lack of water this morning and too much coffee caught up to me. I guess that is when not planning on when you are going to run comes back to haunt you.

  • 📸 Photoblogging: Day 15 - It takes patience training a new dog. However, so far things have been coming along nicely.

  • 📸 Photoblogging: Day 14 - Watching the sunset on the horizon while trying to get a run in. As the weather gets warming I am looking forward to more of this.

  • It has been to many days of rest so time to get back to it running. In some consolation it was warm when I started but got a little cold at the end. Maybe Spring is coming…

    → 8:33 PM, Mar 14
  • 📸 Photoblogging: Day 10 - Pretty much a daily ritual is to drink some coffee. With today I only had one cup until 3pm then I had another. ☕️

  • Wasn’t planning on running but work up early again and saw it was going to be a beautiful sunrise so I quickly tossed my running gear on and headed out along the Ocean.

    → 6:38 AM, Mar 9
  • Had to get out a little earlier this morning before heading into work. Wish I could have seen the sunrise vs overcast weather still glad to get this run done.
