What every good sled dog knows.....

Every good sled dog knows that when you get a chance to rest, you take it!

Hobo taking a break. He was the first one down every time we stopped. I suspect someone trained him to lay down when the sled stops---handy trick, might help prevent loosing the team!

Antare laying in the tall grass. He was so happy to see his harness again, he almost lost his little mind.

There is no way Franklin is going to lay down. He's the only dog who refused to today. Franklin would pull all day every day if he was allowed to.

Shot of today's training team just before we started the final part of the trail home. Today was the first time they've been in harness since April and the first time HObo has ever run in lead. Hook up was a complete gong show. On top of being overjoyed to see their harnesses, they haven't been run in almost 2 weeks while I've been away. But once we got going, things went pretty well.

LOL..I was just thinking about you earlier because I realized that I haven't seen your crew lately and I come here and there you are!

Yay! I'm so glad to see the gang. Looks like they are working hard AND having fun. What could be better.

I just love seeing your crew.

It's all a trick. They weren't doing much work at all. The ATV did most of it, but they acted like they were running the Iditarod! ;)

I just love seeing pictures of your dogs!

Well even if they weren't working that hard it sure looks like they were having fun:D

LOVE the pics! :)

-sigh from jealousy-

My favorite is of Antare. What a beauty. I love those eyes. :D

Awesome photos :) I'd love to try dog sledding some day :) you have great dogs :) especially I love Antare :D

I love the pics! I sooooo envy your life!

What happy beautiful dogs you have there :D Dog sledding looks like so much fun.
