Storm Mushing!

[Glacier]

It didn't look this bad at home, but it was nasty out on the trails. This was really early in the run and the dogs were still having fun! That didn't last long. At about the six mile mark, Paxil started to act funny, like she didn't want to go anymore. I learned a long time ago the hard way not to argue with my lead dogs. So we turned around and went home. Well, as soon as I found a spot to turn in. Turning a dog team around is not as easy as it sounds! It was miserable heading back! The wind was howling!

Sundin was still having fun. He would have kept going quite happily!

"Storm, what storm? We don't need to come inside or use that dumb doghouse."(Delta and Antare) Why do I even bother buying straw!!??

Brrrrrrr....it all looks sooooo cold!

Awesome photo!


The last pic made me giggle. I can see Tori doing the same thing. Although, I have to admit that this past month has been the coldest winter that Tori has seen and twice she has went out and did her business and came back clawing and scratching at the door...lol.

What a great storm picture. I can't believe your dogs laying out in the snow, my two would be heading for the house!

I always enjoy your photos. Can you please explain, where are you, what am I looking at in the first photo? Is it a lake you are on? It is such a wide open space, I wonder what is there in the nice ("warm") weather! How do you stay on the sled and take a photo? I mean, in this photo it is pretty clear the dogs are still running full tilt. (Sometimes, you show us photos and the dogs ahave stopped, so that I can understand a bit better.) Is your camera around your neck, and you use just one hand for the camera?

When you turn the team and sled, that is making a wide arc, isn't it? So with all that open space, I guess I don't know what you mean "looking for a place to turn!?"

I love the one with them in front of the dog house, too, ha ha.

I hope you don't mind all these questions. Your world is so different to mine!

You must feel so much peace when you and the dogs are out running. I would love to do that, I envy you. The last picture is amazing, I love it.
