Waiting for Snow

We are still waiting for ENOUGH snow here at the Kennel to get into the full swing of things.  Slowly, our trail is almost done up at Smuggler's Notch as we got rained out last Sunday from Bootlegger's Basin, so we have one more day of work.  Soon some nice carpenter will be building us frames to set up our canvas tents on, so we can start create a functioning kennel up in the Smugg's woods.  It is almost Christmas, which is the season for dog sled tours...this break usually keeps the kennel afloat and is one of the only times of year where you can count on business coming in.  So as always we are praying for snow and that we will be moving up to Smugg's to get settled in sometime soon!  We have to test out are trail first, and become accustomed with all the in's and out's and oh my gods! of  the trail to take customers out on a pleasant, thrilling but safe dog sled ride!  So, let's hope for the best.

The wonderful dog up there is Jack, one of the lovely, hard-headed Malamutes at the Kennel.  He sure is a sweetie, is a leader but sometimes doesn't like to listen right away...I think that is a Malamute attribute.  With all that being said.... I will take him out any day of the week with his Malamute brethren.....Why not?  Like I say, the dogs keep me humble, besides I think Jack is training me too.

Let the snow keep coming.
