Photo is of our first day of training!!!                     Timor, my fav pup from last year & Irma, one of my favs that we bought! :)

Today we woke up & it was 20 F at our house, sunny & smells good out! I love the fall time, it is my favorite time of year! The dogs seem to love it too!

We started training last week on 4 wheeler & we have 3- 12 dog teams & 1-11 dog team. Once we get the dogs in the rythum of things, we will break it down to 3 bigger teams, but I like working with more leaders this time of year, easier to control! Our first run went great & there was no problems, it was nice! All the dogs acted like pro's even the 15 pups from last year. I was very happy to finally see the 14 new dogs run in harness! Right now I like all the new dogs except Scream. It just seems like with her short legs she has alot harder of a time to keep up.  I am very impressed with Irma!!!!

All the puppies are doing good! We had to take Lille's pup, Otis in to get a hernia removed. It was not like other hernia's that are by the belly button, it was by his man parts & his bowels were going into it, so it was getting huge. I think he had as big of balls as a 6month old & he is only 6 wks old. So we got that removed, its hard to spend $600 on a small puppy, but what are you going to do right? He is cute & worth it!!! 

Well, we have 2 more weeks of working & then we are done for the season & 6 more training runs & we are off to Hawaii! Usually we go alittle sooner, but this is the only time that John's mom could watch the dogs. Sooooo we are very excited to go, but also excited to come back & start the season! :)
