Top Dogs


We're adding up miles now and the top eight on snow miles , in order of miles, are:
Kiddo, Ruthie, Buffy, Liller, Quattro, Martin, Lillen and Medio.

Skinny hasn't been up to par and it's showing on his lagging miles. He did run six this morning and three yesterday. Would have liked him on the 14 mile team but he'll have to perk up for that.

Yesterday we ran three teams on internal runs, 16 dogs.

Today we ran two teams, twenty miles total ( 14 on one and six on the second) on trails to Michigan and back to Wisconsin.

Leaders of the first team today, were Liller and Buffy; leaders of the second team, were our more frail Frita (who didn't look at all frail) and Skinny (who did get very tired).
Temps are high 20's, some new snow on trails, soft running, almost too soft, and very humid.

Martin , who has a tendency to overheat, did extremely well, not even much snow dipping.

No photos from today's beautiful run into Michigan, but photo is of a happy six dog team yesterday, Rosie trying out lead with Skinny, and Stella, the pup, looking alert. These were two strong wheel dogs yesterday.
