Lazy days

Well, almost. I've been home sick with pneumonia for the past 3 days, ugh! To me, there's nothing worse than being regulated to the couch, because you're too weak to do much. Well, I'm determined to return to work tomorrow, and training dogs on Saturday. That's all there is to it.

So, there's really not much to report. All of us are getting over illness, but the dogs have been being fed really well! I swear, these guys eat better than we do! Three meals a day, baited water (especially for the princess of the yard, Feather!), nice thick straw beds inside their houses...now, to just get them out running again. Dutchess was letting us know today in no uncertain terms that she should be running. She barks and jumps on her hind legs, front legs off the ground, at the end of her chain. She always does this when we hook up...but, today she was doing it all by herself. Guess she's saying that the vacation is over!

Manny checked out the alternate trail to the logging roads, and it is so filled with tussocks, that he said he got stuck with the atv. Though, someone is running sleds out there. We've only had about 7 inches of snow, total. By this time, we usually have about 2 1/2 feet! There isn't any snow in the forecast either. So much for the Solstice! Well, there's still hope. Some folks have said that hooks will hold smaller teams (6 dogs), so that's something.

Well, I should sign off, as I'm getting pretty tired. Check back after the weekend, to see how training goes.
