Skinny is the main man in the house these days, but he screams to go for a walk each day. Former Quest leader, mountain climbing dog, adventurer, etc. , it must be very hard for him to spend most of his day on a pillow, watching other teams! I hate it for him. Some times there are 'walkers' with strong backs (he can still pull very hard), but both Skinny and I have some touchy disc problems, so my walking him w/o an ATV is a bit dicier, although I do it, pleading with him , "Easy now".
Yesterday he was so eager to go, I did hook him to a sled. He usually wears a ManMat harness
(easier on the back) but he was SO excited I just grabbed an x back and off we went, Skinny and me. We stopped at every tree, went into snow banks in his hunt, etc, but he was thrilled to go . Today we will get some help from Lillen in our 'run'. We have tried him with teams but he wheezes and coughs... he just can't do the 'real' thing anymore. This was a half mile loop and I walked most of the way, the sled was just the go between .
