Sweet Rosie ran and led a great trail run with her buddies on Tuesday night. We posted the photo of her happy run. On Thursday we had to take her in to the animal hospital. She's been there until this morning on IV support. I just went in to see her and we decided she just couldn't make it anymore, so Rosie has crossed the Rainbow Bridge. Her intestines were her problem .
We loved that little free spirited fox like girl. She was the fastest dog in the kennel. She liked nothing better than to race her sister, Buffy, and win (which she usually did).
She's a big part of the heart of our kennel, too, so we're busy at patching our heart this afternoon.
Godspeed, Rosie!! Thank you for all you are.
Our 21st year! We have enjoyed sharing the sport of dog sledding with so many people over the years, and thank you! all, so much! We are in a paring down and retirement phase. Our kennel is selling a lot of good, used equipment. If you are looking for something , let us know. Listing coming soon. We are not selling dogs, they are retiring with us.

Getting our miles
Because we can't run from November 15 to December 1st, we are getting miles every way we can.
We've been taking different groups on late afternoon trail runs, hoping to not meet the skunks and porcupines that are still hanging around.
On a trail ride earlier today (no dogs), I did see a coyote barreling through, but couldn't catch him in a photo.
We've never had a negative encounter with a coyote and dogs although we have had them cross our path several times.
We may still trail walk into the weekend, although Michigan hunters are only one mile away. We don't want any dogs to panic at a rifle shot and run out the gate, so we're going to be locked up .
