It was a great day for the dogs and the people; 20 month old Fina was being introduced to dog sledding by her Daddy as her Mama took to the trails. Fina and Skinny (aka Ninny) are friends of sorts.
The trails were perfect for running, fresh snow and hard packed base. The dogs were stomping to go. Temps were in the upper teens.
We ran two four dog teams and one six dog team. Ruthie ran lead on all three teams, sharing the spot with Buffy on the other two. Aging Lillen did a great job in lead, as always, on the 1st team. Matilda had a pulled muscle so she was sidelined. Kiddo, Sherpa, Ruthie and Buffy made the first team out; 2nd team was Buffy, Ruthie, Medio and Herman; 3rd team was Ruthie, Buffy, Medio, Herman, Copper (what a guy!) and Quattro. All were really into pulling today, not fence running. Thanks to Tim, our visual fence is working!
The dogs who were left behind did make it known they were not to be forgotten. Yepa scaled the fence into Buffy's pen, twice. Next time we'll take her , she's made her point.
