Start of a New Season (winter)

Well tonight it is currently 55 degrees F and should drop to 51 for a low. So early in the morning will be the start of our running time for this season. The cart is in position and everything is laid out. I only have to put the harnesses on the dogs and snap them into the gang line and we will be off and running. The line up for tomorrow is Cosmos-Kenai, Little Bear-Shasha, Yeti-Sakari, Dancer-Ulric. If this goes well and they remember how to work as a team I will add two new girls into this years team. They will be Maya, who is an Alaskan Husky, and Toshiba who has just turned two. That will take the team to 10 dogs running at once pulling the 160 lb cart and my 175 lb self. I'm hoping to find a four wheeler that does not run that I can use for running this group. We currently have 25 dogs here but some of them are to be adopted out from our Husky rescue. We had lots of puppies come in this summer and some females that delivered upon arrival with us. We are looking forward to a wonderful season this year. Drop us an email and find out where we will be running and come out and see us.
