Snow, Snow, Snow

Every day it is snowing! Our snow total is now at about 60” for the season. It is about average for this time of year. We have around two feet on the ground. The Lake keeps giving us snow, even when it is clear skies away from the Lake a few more miles. The last week or so, the sun shines through the snow and it keeps falling. The top foot is very fluffy and the trails are great! The colder temps are good for the dogs and they are loving life. All the dogs are running fast now, even the older ones.

Boulder, one of our favorites, spends all his energy on running. After the run, he goes into his house and sleeps until the next run. He is twelve years old. On the runs, he is very excited, jumping and rolling. When we stop, he barks and lunges to go again. He acts like a puppy with all of his excitement.

The dogs are now into their mid-winter life. Run, eat, sleep. For a sled dog, it is a great life. They are running about 5 days a week. Many of the days, they get to go out a couple times. Everyone is healthy and happy.
