Fate is a creature with boundaries in many ways. She is agile and swift and adventurous, she pretty much goes where she wants when she wants. When we came to the frozen pond, her tongue was hanging, she had been running through the woods, leaping over logs, chasing Red up and down paths.

She walked out onto the ice, and bit a hole with her teeth, and drank from the pond. I have not seen a dog do that before. The ice does not slow her down or intimidate her in any way, if she hears cracking, she skates and slides back to dry ground.
