Sundin's first run finally happened today. He decided not to be recaptured for a couple days. Today he was more cooperative. Getting him into his harness was a gong show, but he calmed down after that.

Here he is waiting for his turn to get hooked up.

Running down the trail. I had planned to run him in lead today with Pingo, but after his panic attack over the harness I decided that was not a good idea. Today needed to be fun and nothing but fun for Sundin or he may not ever run for me again. So he ran in swing beside his buddy, Pacer. Tomorrow I'll try him up front.

One happy dog after his run! He was so much calmer when I unhooked him. No problems at all. He seemed to realize what I was doing and wasn't afraid.

Sundin's momma, Pingo, says it's too hot for working! (It's about -2C today, she may have a point!)

It's okay, Sundin. You are going to find that it was the first of many more fun runs. I am sure he will feel more comfortable now that he realizes what is expected of him. :)

Glacier, you are a true dog (Husky) whisperer. We all knew Sundin would come around. Who can resist your charming ways? ;)
