This is a photo of 1/2 our freezer van. We have our fat & meat here along with 1 tote of fish & then we are holding someone elses dog food too!!!! We have 634, 20lb bags of meat, 100 bags of fat & counting,100 bags of Ol roy dog bones & 15 totes of fish...... I am SOOOO glad that grinding meat is over for this year!!!!

Anyway, today is our last day of work & it feels good! We got everything taken of & we are ready to go on vacation! Tomorrow we leave for Hawaii for 2 weeks which is about 2 weeks later than we usually go, but this is the only time John's mom could take care of the dogs!!!! She is the only person we trust to watch them & we know they will be taken care of right! SO THANK YOU in advance JACKIE for watching the dogs!

Today we went on a 5 mile training run early in the morning & it was still pretty warm out but not too bad! All the dogs are doing great & we have alot of dogs that are impressing us leading!!! April, Mario, Irma, Blackie, obviously Zora, Whippet & Eli....Willie is Whippet X Ruby pup from last year & I think he is going to be one of our very good leaders in the future!!!!

All the pups are doing very well! Zora loves to go into the pen & play with them & Lilles are now 8 weeks old & we took Lille away last week she is tearing apart our pens & freaking out to get to them, so we let her with them at night. I have never seen a mom as crazy as her. I guess she is crazy at everything, she is the dog we are trying to break of chewing the neckline with 1 bite.

Yesterday we went to a seminar at Mat Su College & it was very informative. I am going to start classes in January for a nursing degree &  when we come back from Hawaii, John is going to be getting his private pilots license so that is exciting & scary at the same time... John in charge of a plane????? LOL  Just kidding! :)
