Nope, he really can't. Preacher is at least 11 years old now; he's blind, hypothyroid and getting very stiff. He was never very fast, but there's no way he could keep up now. He likes to bark at the team as they leave the yard though. He still gets around well, but he's retired from sledding.

Sleet - If everybody else is out, why do you need to gaurd you're treats? Get out there and run pretty girl.
Someone might sneak in and get her treats and that would be the end of Sleet's world! She's also at least 11 and slowing down. She still pulls, but only for short runs now. We went way too far for Sleet yesterday. I take her once a week in harness so she doesn't get too mad at me.


Muskwa - Ah, you are such a pretty boy. I'm not sure why you can't run yet, but hang in there buddy. The snow will be beneath your paws before you know it.
He can't run because he got kicked by a horse last week. He's still on muscle relaxants. He's done those in a few more days and then he has to take it easy for a couple weeks. It probably be a month or so before he gets back up to being able to work.
