Dog sledding


I went dog sledding yesterday. That is one of the most amazing things I've ever done! I love it! We went to this place "Winterdance" and they taught us everything we needed to know, and then led us on a 14km route through the snow. it was a blast! We were running two-man, five-dog, teams, and my lead dogs were kinda nuts. One was named Chinook, and she was quiet and when we stopped dug a pretty big hole. According to one of the guides, she found a mouse once or twice. That's her up top. My other lead dog was named Eagle, and he was just nuts. I don't think he liked me, but that's okay I guess. he would kinda glower up at you from under his brow, and then he would lay his head on the snow. Our point dog was named Red, and he was pretty cool. Our back two dogs, Robin and Mustang, were fun. Robin would bounce straight up when she wanted to go, and Mustang would nip at Robin once we got going. Mustang loved to lick you too. Anyways, it was really fun, and if you get a chance to do it, take it!
