My time in Michigan with Jan was so much fun (I’ve heard it said that I was a party-animal so we were a great matchup).  A few weeks ago, Jan said we were going sledding with the folks from NODROG.  I was thinking that she’d started partying long before she hatched that plan since she obviously was reading Gordon backwards and there was no snow so I was filled with a bit of apprehension.  And, trust me, you don’t want to eat your kibble topped with apprehension.  Turns out she wasn’t quite as far gone as I’d thought and we were soon headed off to the NODROG Gordon Setter Club’s Christmas party.  And, fortunately for my lack of fortitude, the sledding adventure wasn’t too perilous after all.

I even found my own very cool sleigh on the snack table, fully stocked with goodies to help me challenge the slopes for weeks if necessary.

The club members there are so nice and welcomed me with open shoulders.  One for the right…

One for the left….

And one straight down the middle with me making a stunning appearance as this season’s most desired head gear.

My final cuddle for the night was shared with the sweetest Gordon Setter ever.  Her name is Rosie and she’s too young to know that, if she tries very, very hard, she’ll be able to grow up as a really stunning Gordon and be able to have adventures like mine.

Thanks NODROG peeps… you guys were great!
