What we call an 'ordinary' day is usually filled to the brim with tasks.
When all of this is 'fun' then you know you're in the right work. It was fun, for me and the dogs, yesterday.
The day started at 4AM and ended (?) at 8PM...

All of this 'ordinary' day goes on almost every day, but has add ons such as running the 5 teams. On a run day, the runs take priority .
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.
