May 5, 2010 – Summer Dreams
As the weather warms up, hold on, the weather is not warming up at all. The last couple of weeks have been filled with gusting winds, snow flurries and rain. While the weather is dampening my spirits, the dogs are loving the cool weather. Mama kitty has had her kittens and fluffers is looking like [...]
April 15, 2020 – Pic of the Day
I recently shot the class of 2010, a photo shoot of the entire kennel. More pics to come, but this pup, only about 8 months old is a handsome man. There’s something savage looking about him. Alpha of his pack, when he gets backed into a corner, or into his home, he fights back with [...]
April 5, 2010 – Puppy Training Cont’d
Steamboat has seen a ton of snow in the last few days and hearty winds to accompany it. Life is relaxed at the kennel. Easter Sunday and I got to spend some quality time with each of the dogs. The puppies are growing up so quickly it’s hard to believe. They are so excited to [...]
April 2, 2010 – End of the Season
The spring weather ended the season a bit early for us. Saturday was our last day of tours and even then we were down to using the short loop, as the longer trails was too melted out. The tour went smoothly with three sleds. Kris and Stu-bird were guiding, E-bear, me and Sara helped make [...]
March 19, 2010 – Really?
As spring time comes around, we like to say people lose their minds a little. Somehow, jeans become common gear even though there’s snow and slush all around. I think the weather makes people dreamy and they pay more attention to the world around them and a little less to their dog sledding team. It [...]
March 15, 2010 – A Traitor in the Midst
Despite the setbacks of losing B-bear (he works around the kennel, but can’t do tours anymore since he hurt his knee) and Beagle (got a new job), we were getting along fine. March always picks up during spring breaks, so have had a busy schedule. We are down to just mornings as the afternoons have [...]
March 12, 2010 – Home from Virginia
The snow has been melting quickly with lots of sunshine. Hopefully the trail will last another couple of weeks. I spent Wednesday May 10th, at the Harry E James School in Hopewell Virginia, talking to over 300 students from kindergarten to first grade about dog sledding. The kids were all attentive and had some wonderful [...]
March 3-4 – Spring is Here
7:00 am. 18 degrees. Days have been reaching the 40′s and while it’s hard for the dogs to run in the heat, I’m ready for a little sunshine and an end to winter! Had a tour with Kris where I couldn’t do anything right, but that’s par for the course, so didn’t let it get [...]
