Keepin' It Real

It was a COLD training day last Saturday. The dogs slipped and slid on the obstacles...a welcomed extra challenge. We tracked through the woods in the snow--it was so beautiful. Louie and Laika felt right at home pulling us up snow covered hills with their harnesses. Obedience was fun. Since the snow added extra stress we mostly practiced distance recalls, Louie and Laika's favorite! And we got a bark out of Laika during protection. Here is a pic taken by Ginger (I kinda stole it...so I have to give proper credit!). Louie and I are on the far right and Laika and Eric are the second from the left. Isn't the land purdy?

Want me to introduce our friends? From left to right: Ginger and her best pal Summit, (E and L), Carla and her beloved "dork dog" James, Warren and his killer pup Rocky, Martin and his once and a lifetime dog Zadok, and then me and Lou. I have to give a shout out to Warren's wife who cooked us a warm meal for lunch. It was yummy.

Lou and Lake were bummed when we came home from Milton and there was no snow on the ground in Louisville. But winter is not over yet!

Get excited everyone...8 below comes out in about a week! A family movie about love, loyalty, and the Huskies' triumph over great adversity. A MUST SEE!!!! Something tells me that it is going to be really sad at parts, but the overall message should be inspiring.

Have a happy day!
