First Run of the Season

We had a wonderful run this morning. With this being the first run of the year I was happy to not see any one of the dogs dragging or looking tired. It was about 58 degrees but they seemed to do well. Cosmos the lead dog was halfway past the turn before he realized that I had told him Haw then he snapped the team to the left and off we went. They were looking strong even on the up hill grade they never stopped. I think we have the makings of a good team this year. Even Sakari who normally wants to fight with all the dogs around her behaved and ran like a charm. Our team today was Cosmos-Kenai, Little Bear-Sasha, Sakari-Yeti, Ulric-Dancer. It is supposed to warm up today so I think we will pack up the pontoon boat and head to the lake for a swim.
