link text Click this link to check out some photo's! Snow is here & hopefully we get more of it!!!!! We got about 2 inches last week & now we got another 3 inches so slowly but surely we are gonna get what we need to go on sled. John & I will go around our trail on Saturday to cut out any tree's that have fallen & look for some new interesting trails for the dogs! Right now we are going 10 miles & will be jumping up to 12 miles on Monday! The dogs are looking great & today for the first time EVER by our house, we got to head on pass with another team! It was great to see a dog team out there besides ourselves... Usually by the time the Iditarod mushers start coming out by our house, we are on sled also so we switch to our winter time trails, but this year, the Iditaroders are on sled while we are still on 4 wheeler so it gives us a chance to head on pass... A couple of leaders that will be racing for us this year( In order of how good they are) are Dexter, Eli, Whippet, Fry, Mario, Sausage & Landyn.... We have 3 REALLY good leaders (Tok, Swift & Marcus) that I wish I had for lead, but they area hair too slow for running in lead with a 16 dog team! April is running with our young team & is doing great, but is going to have a hard time catching up with the open dogs. Thats why I hate having puppies so late, but we had no other choice!!!! As of right now, our plans are still changing it seems like everday, but we are for sure going to race this year with the open dogs. Another idea that we are playing with is just keeping the 22 open dogs & selling the 9 young dogs & 16 puppies, but we are still taking alot of tim on our decision. Its hard when 2 people don't agree with a decision....
