Oh Boy!

It was the 2nd time we ever let Valley off the leash for skiing. Skis
are scary for her well too much for her. So much so, I have been afraid to let her go because of the hassle of retrieving her.

Looks like very good times for her, skis or not


and



Valley loved to run behind us on the ski track, every time I turned around she looked happy


She was pretty happy until we stopped in the wind and snow for a short break and to turn around


If you have our calendar, we'd be looking over her shoulder at the view for Miss January. Definitely a different day today.


Nice place to take a break and look around.


She picked right back up on the return


A little "road side" maintenance on the 4WD


here she is right before I skied up to her with the leash


I was concerned about that, she was cautious but she let me ski up to her and leash her. Tired Malamutes are good malamutes.

Oh Boy, What a great day!

Hi Bob!

I found your website!
Great to see photos of your dogs having fun in the snow! Looks like you have a bit more daylight than we do - like you're about 1 month ahead of us. Here the sun is still just below the horizon.

Happy Trails!

She's doing great isn't she :) Woohoo for the shy girl.

Sunrise is at 10 am and sunset is almost 4:30 now, gaining over 4 minutes per day. Its a real treat when we get home from work and its daylight out. That won't happen for a couple of more weeks.

We are also in a dramatic warming spell, 60 deg F change in just a few days. Its raining, blowing 80 knots and icy :(
