This is a little off topic, but winter blues = daylight savings time = it getting dark here at 5:30, so I guess it kinda fits.
What do you guys do when it gets dark outside so quick during the winter in the evenings?
I get up in the morning and do a quick walk or bike ride before I'm off to school and work. But much of my free time is in the evenings, so I don't always get as much time in with em as what I want. And some things just can't be done in the dark. Either that or I've not been enlightened on how to do them in the dark yet !

That's definatly the worst part for me. I leave for work when it's dark and don't get back home until it's dark, which makes for zero time to track . I just have to do it on my off days.
We play fetch, which degenerates into lots of "Danke, find your ball!!! Such. C'mon, find the damn ball. I'm not digging through that pile of leaves myself. You're the friggin' dog, you should be thrilled to dive into a pile of wet leaves. Quit looking at me like that. FINE, I'll get the stupid ball."
Ball is located under a pile of wet leaves.
"NO, I will not throw the ball again."
"Oh geez, fine, one more time. Ready? Platz. I can tell you aren't all the way down, Danke. Don't think you can fool me just because it's dark. I've got all night to wait for your belly to hit the ground. GOOD!"
Ball promptly skitters to a stop under another pile of leaves.

Alyssa,
Too funny! I can relate so much. I have a year old GSD and she does something similar with her soft frisbee. She gives me the look and sits there expecting me to go get it. I have said the same kind of things to her.
Danke is just beautiful! I love her expression.

Totally fits here Megan. This is what I am talking about too.
We do night searches here, if it is not bitterly cold. Or we play fetch. I hold the dog on lead and use the chuck it and then let the dog loose. They have to use their nose because it is dark.
I do not chuck it too terribly far though.
If it is really cold or storming, we load up and go do building searches.
