Day 3

Truffle surprised us by sleeping through the night the first night, and last night she was just as good. We have 4" of snow, and she looks very funny jumping through it. It is hard to photograph her because she won't stay still. If she hears a noise in the woods, she charges towards it barking -- this little bundle the size of a small toaster, it doesn't seem to occur to her that the noise-maker might be bigger than she is. She reminds me of a wild animal in the way that she freezes like a little statue alerting at sights or noises, and then shoots ahead, then freezes again. Many sudden stops and starts!
