Sled dog butts...pic

[Glacier]

If you ain't the lead dog, the view never changes!

I ran two teams today. This team started off as a six dog team, but Pacer and Antare decided to get into a little scuffle before we even got started. I was still hooking up other dogs when they decided to go at it. Pacer started it so I just pulled him out, left him in a pen and went with five. Pacer did get a little puncture on his leg, but it's tiny and he'll be fine. He's not even limping. This team was Raven-Paxil, Antare, Chum-Franklin

Team #2 also started as a six dog but ended up as five. Paxil-Founder, Hobo-Earle, Deuce-Ozzy. It's only the second time Hobo has been able to run beside another dog! I think he might be starting to settle down finally!

Earle wanted to come today, but he's just not up for a big run yet. He made it for 10km, then he started slacking off and not keeping up. He's just barely started running again and needs to get in better shape before he can do longer runs. I just set him free and let him run. I offered him a ride in the sled, but he wasn't interested in that!

He just trotted along behind us. It was nice to have him along even if he wasn't working!

Oh Lord! The scenery, the butts, the atmosphere- it all just blew me away!
BTW. there's a film coming out called, I think, "8 Below" about a team of 8 sled dogs who get seperated from their master and struggle to make it back. They show the ad on TV all the time and I immediately thought of you! When I see it, I'll give more info.

That's the disney version, loosely based on a true story. In reality the dogs were 13 Canadian Eskimo Dogs and they were abandoned when a Japanese Antarctic expedition got trapped in bad weather. The group came back a year later and found two of the dogs survived. Here's a link to the real story:

The husky rescues I work with are already trying to prepare for the influx of 9 month old puppies(the most common age for huskies to get dumped.) Thank Goodness Eskimo dogs are rare and unsuitable as a family pet!

Thanks for posting the link to the real story, I like to see what really happened. I also hate to see dogs (animals) in movies only because it then makes them fashionable or trendy for a time and then you get so many BYB pumping them out for profit and most end up in shelters when that happens because people don't research the breed and they expect them to be just like you see in the movies, which generally is so far from the truth. It's a sad thing and I hope it doesn't get too out of hand=(

Hmmm, I can't get the link to work, but I heard about the Disney movie recently. Sadly, many people will just want a "snowdog", not really caring if it's exactly the same breed or not. I can't get over how many little kids run up to us wanting to pet the "snowdogs", and it's been years since that Disney flick came out. Bless the husky Rescues, let's hope there aren't too many "casualties" after this movie.

I had no idea. Typical Disney..covering up stuff with roses. The ad really had me going. I guess like 101 Dalmatians, you will have an influx of unwanted Huskies. That's too bad and too sad.
