| Took out a 14 dog team with Dutchess & Curry up front...my dynamic duo! We went up and over Jenny M Hill again and the dogs did great. The only times I had to stop were for me...as I kept getting cold on that atv (it was about -15F). I did stop halfway through the run to check feet...but the dogs were lunging so hard, they were pulling the heavy Prairie 400 atv with brakes locked and all!! And there wasn't even ice underneath! Feet looked good, so off we went with the dogs flying. Ran Canyon in the team again with no problems. He tired a little about 2 miles from home, but then pulled great on the last mile. Go figure!! We completed the run in 1 1/2 hours with the dogs coming in still looking good and barking. I think we'll do one or two more runs on Jenny M, then up the mileage to 21 by switching to the river loop trail. They won't be going over the hill...but will get some time running on the river. I can see clouds on the horizon...would be nice if they are carrying some more snow, as the snow we were suppossed to get last night only produced a slight dusting. I did see sled tracks out there...so at least 2 people are running sleds already. I'll be paring down to about 6 dog teams to use the sled if we don't get more snow soon. We'll see. Catch ya next time! Tammi "The great pleasure of a dog is that you may make a fool of yourself with him and not only will he not scold you, but he will make a fool of himself, too." ~Samuel Butler~ |
