Deuce's first run...

What great pictures!! They all look so happy. Do the dogs go nuts when you get the harnesse's out? Do they know that means there going to pull the sled?

Look at those happy dogs with their tongues hanging out! Raven looks like she's bursting with pride - "I did a GOOD job, didn't I, Mom?" and Deuce looks like he could go many more miles! Sounds like this is just what he needs, going out on good hard runs! Good job, Deuce!

Gosh that must be so much fun. I love seeing your pics!
Glad Deuce worked out well & that Raven is back to her pulling self. Good luck wishes heading your way hoping they both continue to do well.

They know long before I get the harnesses out. They seem to be able to tell by what I'm wearing when I walk out of the house that they are going for a run. Some of them, I swear, know which harness is theirs. Antare knows his harness is yellow & blue and if I don't have it in my hand, he won't come near me. He's really timid, but if I have his harness, he's my best buddy.

They also know who runs them. This time of year, if my husband goes to start the ATV, they don't move. They know he's not taking them for a run. If I got anywhere near the ATV, all h**L breaks loose. They know I only use it if I'm taking them out.

My closest neighbor tells me that he only really hears the dogs three times--when I come home at night, when I'm feeding and when I'm hooking up a team. He says he can even tell what I'm doing by the way they howl.
