Hello again. The weather here is wet and warm. We hope it gets cold again. Lots of good snow though, we are able to safely run larger teams now. We were running 7-8 dogs/team, and tonight I took out an 11 dog team. We took our 8 month pups, Brumby, Hugo and Quartz to the local Carbon Hill dog race. We entered two teams in the 10 mile race. Our 13 year old friend, Jesse, entered the 2 mile junior race. In his first race he finished 4th and had a lot of fun. I hope his parents aren't mad that he has the dog mushing addiction.
Yesterday we bought 8 puppies from William Kleedehn. 5 girls and 3 boys. We named them, Rudy, Temudgin, Magnum, Briar, Scarlett, Feist, Liger, and Olive. It is fun getting to know them. So our small kennel is growing.
There is the first running of a new race in the Yukon, called the Road Runner. It starts Feb. 27th and goes from Whitehorse to Haines Junction. It is 100 miles. WE want to sign up for it.

Over and Out
