I ran a 7 dog team today in order to prevent bloodshed in the yard. A tired husky is a good husky and my guys have not been tired lately. It's still far too warm and no snow. No sled today, had to use the stupid ATV. I'm a little bitter about our winter, but we had fun today anyway. Thank goodness Stuart was home to help me hook up! The dogs were insane!
"Why are we stopping?"
They never did take a break of more than 15 seconds today. Every time I tried to stop, the dogs started jumping and barking like they were still at home waiting to go! Today's team from the leaders back: Pingo-Founder, Hobo, Franklin-Deuce, Antare-Ozzy.
My favorite spot on this trail. I call it the enchanted forest, but it doesn't look as enchanting as usual right now! Needs more snow!!
I was a little worried about this combo. Franklin and Deuce have never met and never run together. Turned out to be a perfect combo and one I will be using alot! Franklin has issues with passing loose dogs or any dog really. Deuce has a one track mind when he's working, he just keeps his head down and keeps going no matter what. He was able to keep Franklin on track today. We passed at least five loose dogs without incident!

I love how Deuce looks when he's all frosty! He's also much easier to love on when he's tuckered out a bit. Usually he's bouncing around so much that petting him is tricky!
Ozzy and Antare. Antare would have kept going all day and Ozzy seemed a little confused--"that's it, we're done?"
I think I'll go do a snow dance tonight. I can't remember ever still being on the ATV in December.
