Free running this morning with our fastest group of 18 dogs 7 milees.                TOK                                                           ABLE

Well this week has been very busy & happy & sad all in one. It has been beautiful weather & it starting to get alittle cooler at night.

One of our main race dogs, Tok, had to be put down last week. He had a piece of plastic in his stomach & we got it removed, but he kept getting sicker & sicker, the vet said Toxins were poisoning his body & all his organs were shutting down.  Tok was a really nice dog & was a big part of our open team!

Then on Sunday it was my 23rd birthday! John took my out to dinner & a movie & then we went to my parents for a while! It was nice!

This past Wednes day, Able, one of Zora's pups died & we have no idea why. She was acting really sick so we brought her in the house & worked on her, but in the morning she had passes away. I was worried about all the other puppies, but they are all doing fine.

Today we free ran 7 miles & all the dogs are doing good. Some of the new dogs aren't quite where we thought they would be running , but I am excited to start 4 wheeler training soon! 

We had a little incident today while we took out our first group. We free run on trails that are very popular during hunting season why I don't know because there are no moose because we scare them, but we put up signs to let everyone know to be cautious on Mon, Wed & Fri from 8 - 11am because of 15- 20 loose dogs behind a 4 wheeler & this guy parks his car on the trail ( not sure why he would take such a nice car on a crappy trail) & was hunting with his little 4 month old GSp puppy right in the middle of the trail on a corner.  We come around them bend to see him in the woods & the puppy scared to death running on the trail screaming , but luckily our dogs are pretty good about it & went right by the poor puppy. I can't understand why the guy would even try to do that with a puppy thats not trained knowing we are going to be coming by with that many dogs. I know I wouldn't take the chance of hurting my hunting dog mentally..People are so weird sometimes, but on a good note, hunting season is almost over & so far all the MOOSE hunters we have ran into have been curtious & we both has respected each other!

Thats all for now, Tok & Able, you will be missed!
