Just some pictures I took today and yesterday of my little team. Deuce has worked his butt off all weekend. He hates the mere idea of being left behind so he's run three days in a row. The first day was a disaster, but the last two runs have gone very smoothly.

My good dogs. Taken this afternoon. I'd gone to see if we could get across a little ravine and river and turned around to see this. Such well behaved dogs. Probably helped that they had run 15km or so by this point! The dogs are from the leaders back--Mac & Pingo, Hobo, Pacer & Ozzy, Franklin and Deuce.

Deuce on Sunday afternoon, after getting all tangled up with a loose dog. Fortunately the stupid little off-leash mutt got out of the team without injury and none of my dogs were injured while tangled up.

Deuce and Franklin this afternoon. Seriously frosty boys!

Deuce after we got home this afternoon. He was tired today. Near the end of the run he actually let his tug line go slack, something I've never seen him do before! A tired Deuce is a good dog! He's still laying in pretty much the same spot working on that bone 2 hours after I took the pic.
As usual, more details about their training can be found in my blog.
