While the Iditarod mushers took off in Anchorage, we ran three teams and took my granddaughter for a sled ride on the beautiful trails today.
All dogs were excited to go, Lillen was leaping in the line, retired or not, as was Skinny, who led the first team out. Frita had a great run with her children here today, as her daughters, Bullet and Mouse , took off with Aliy Z. and Allen M. in Anchorage.
Dogs run: Leaders, Buffy, Skinny, Ruthie, Medio, Frita. Team dogs, Lillen, Kiddo, Sherpa, Yepa. Wheel dogs, Quattro, Herman, Swix, Yuki. One snow bank literally swallowed Yuki... she fell off the groomed trail into deep snow, and the sled fell over her. A taste of Alaska for her, but she was fine, resilient. The driver flipped the sled so he could drag her out.
Late day it has warmed up too much, but trails are still intact, so we're off on our xc ski trek for the day.
