So I’m noticing a set of tracks in the snow on the trails. “Oh, they have the same springs on their boots as me.” Dog prints nearby. Then after a while, “Oh look their feet are about the same size as mine.” Then after another while, “Their feet walk in the same pattern as me.”
You can see where this is going.
It was the dog prints along with them that threw me off. I have no idea how long it took for me to realize they were my footprints from yesterday afternoon, and we’ve had no snow since. Someone’s dog must have followed my tracks.
One little assumption, the dog, blinded me to the rest.
