Muddy Run with seven dogs




We took seven dogs and three humans on a very iron ore muddy run yesterday. The temps were in the 40's and the sun was high so it was just about too warm to do that. The bridge over the river had some washout but our team was already committed to crossing, which we did safely and then did a turnaround (a bit of a test, luckily we had two guides and one driver).



All dogs were very excited to go for the run, but think they were happier to get home. The dogs and harnesses were iron red when we returned. With the dry weather and winds we've had I thought it would be dry and cool but it was not. We'll just hangout with free runs awhile longer here this Spring. Our kennel wooded trails are still deep with snow and ice.



Dogs who ran with great spirits, all, yesterday were: Buffy, Rosie (lead); Medio, Kiddo, Herman,

Quattro and Copper.
