Walking in the snow pics...

I'm back from my trip, but it's way to warm to run the team today, plus I try to avoid running on Sunday afternoons. So we just went for walkies!

The scene as I leave the yard--"HEY what about us?" The fence is farther away than it looks in the pic. They can't jump it.

Pacer and Paxil went first. Pacer is actually faster than her, but leading isn't something he can do, even off leash!

Of course, Daisy tagged along too.

Pacer does love a chance to stretch his legs out.

Happy boy!

Daisy was happy to go for a walk too. I'm sure her owner hasn't taken her out while I was away!
More pics coming. ...

Hobo and Earle running on the trail. Please ignore the red spots on Earle's legs. They are self-inflicted sores from licking. He does it whenever one of us is away. He hasn't licked since I got home so they should be healed up soon.

Happy, Happy Hobo! Course he was this happy in the yard too. It doesn't take much to thrill Hobo!

Heyoka did not want to come. Too much like work for him!

Sundin--"Call me when you are hooking up a team. I'll come along for that."

Preacher prefered to catch some rays at home!

that's all for now!

Wow, you must sled, right?

That sounds so cool. The one I like best is Pacer. He's so hansome. As you live in northern Canada, and race dogs, I was wondering whether you have seen "8 below"?

OPPS

Now that I've seen the rest of your photos I have to admit... Pacer is cute, But I think I like Preacher, Sundin, Heyoka, Earl, and Hobo more.

Once again...Cool :cool:

Great photos!

Hobo and Pacer look like right little characters!

Glad to see you're back. The dogs must have been so happy to see you back as well, love that pic with them howling at you. :D

great pictures! :) I LOVE Daisy. :) It looks like they had a blast. :D

Nope and I probably won't for a number of reasons--the first being it's not even playing here yet! We are often a month or more behind getting movies here.

Pacer has just come out of his shell in the last 9 months or so enough to show his "character" side! Hobo is just a wing nut! His nickname is "Psycho Puppy". He answers to that as well as he does to Hobo. I keep waiting for him to start to slow down. He is 9 years old now, but he shows no signs of leaving his puppyhood yet!

I enjoyed every single picture!! :D Thanks sooo much for sharing! Your doggies are so beautiful.. they really are true blue sled dogs, aren't they?? :D

Here's a weird question..

Do they howl at the moon? lol

When I lived in the country, our neighbours had a sled team and they howled every single night. It was really beautiful! I really miss living next to them.. they were the sweetest dogs I have ever met. :) It almost felt like you were part of their pack..

Ok.. Now I want a Husky..... :rolleyes:

Yup, mostly at the full moon. They are nutty on full moon nights. They also howl at the Northern Lights. They answer the coyotes and wolves too. They usually have a group howl 3 times a day--early morning, after dinner and around 10pm.

Welcome Back Glacier!! We've missed you. We can certainly tell the pups have too! Great pics. I can't believe those self inflicted lick wounds of Earle's. Poor baby. Don't worry sweetie, Mom is back so you won't have any more stress! He does look ecstatic now :D

Welcome back Glacier! Sooo nice to see some of your pack again-- especially Hobo, I just seem to have a soft spot for him! And handsome Earle looks like he's feeling alot more energetic. The meds must be doing him good. I'll bet everyone's glad to see you back - how did Stuart make out with his hand and all?

Great pictures!

That's so neat!
Do you ever have problems with wolves (or other wildlife) coming after the dogs?

I thought maybe that first picture was them all welcoming you home. :) I bet it looked pretty much like that when they saw you coming. The pups are all looking great, and I just cannot get enough of Hobo and his happy dance. :)
