Anvik went skijoring for the first time today. He was great! I think he may be my new skijor racing buddy. Raven was my race dog but she has never recovered psychologically from a big crash we took a couple years ago. Anvik has his own psych issues, but they don't show up in harness! ;)

What a happy dog! I just love this pic. You just want to grab him and give him a big hug. He's the one you call mama's boy, right? That's why he's happy,because he was with you.

Love the pics! The one of you two together and the "Did I do good mom?" one especially. He looks like a really happy dog. Skijoring sounds like fun, I'd like to try it sometime.

He is a complete momma's boy! I actually wasn't sure he'd skijor. I thought he might want to stay right beside me!

Those pictures are beautiful, Tamara. Anvik looks like such a happy guy. He's a beautiful dog. I love the one of he and you together and the one right after that. Looks like he's smiling. :)

Go Anvik! Love the pictures of you two together and of his big sweet smile. He's such a handsome boy, and it's obvious how he adores you. :)

Tamara,

I have still not learnt my lesson when seeing pics of Anvik - DO NOT DRINK ANYTHING whilst looking.

I think he might be another of my favourites - of course after Heyoka ..... :D

Gee, Anvik, that is some harness you need to wear for skijoring! I used to enjoy cross country, bet having your dog poer makes it really cool (pun intended!) I bet you see some wonderful country While you are out, too. Keep up the good work, buddy.

Gee, Anvik, that is some harness you need to wear for skijoring!

It's my regular dog sledding harness, an x-back style made for long, skinny dogs. It's brand new. Mom used a gift card she got for Christmas to buy it for me. I chewed through two other ones already! I hate waiting to run! Gotta chew something while I'm waiting! Mom won't put this on til just before we go!

Ah yes, Anvik, it looks like you have found your real calling. Just you and Mom out having a good run. Obviously, you had a great time. :) Great pictures, Tamara.

I think Anvik has found is perfect sport! He gets to run, pull, lead, and spend time with just his mom! He looks so happy, it's great.
