Lotta Bit

Here's Bit, getting a little exercise in the driveway. She may not seem heavy to you folks... but her normal shape is closer to a greyhound in the rear quarters.

Believe me, she uses this physical attribute to her full advantage. She used to take off when we lived in the village of Groton, NY. We'd almost always find her down by the ice cream caboose being fed softserve by people who felt sorry for the poor, undernourished, skinny dog...

Well, she can't do that given her current physique. So I guess it's just as well that we no longer live within trotting distance to an ice cream stand. Now when she "takes off", she's lucky to make it to the edge of the yard. Plenty of ice... not much cream.
