Anvik learns to skijor

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! ;)

"Run that by me again? What am I supposed to do? What are those things are your feet? Where are the lead dogs??"

"This skijoring stuff is fun. Is that a treat bag? Wow! I get treats too!!"

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!

You did GOOD, Anvik!! ;)

And PS, Tamara ...
That pix of the two of you is an A#1 WOW! Shot!
:D

How sweet!! He's so proud of himself :)

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. :)

Great photos Tamara! I just adore Anvik's smile! :D

Tamara,

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

Anvik is GORGEOUS!!! Give him a great hug from me, :) please

Looks like a very happy dog!! First time out- wow that is a great job! :D
