Dogs & their New Year swim

Instead of seeking the sun in the mountains I seeked dog company for Djeili and we found a dozen dogs to play with at the regular spot by the lake, regular time, some of them turning up a little later than usual...
And I lucked out in joining New Years drinks and snacks, too. 

Nikan the malamute here unfortunately made a step forward when I pressed the shutter. He and some of the others went for a New Year swim, see Nikan going for it in the extra.

Currently it always takes me ages to decide on the main blip!

Hope you all arrived safe in the new year.
