Happy Number 12

Today marks Jago's 12th birthday, what a better way to celebrate it than to go out hiking on a sunny day.

Its been a wonderful 10 plus years together, its amazing how we've changed for the better.

We've spent so much time together, I can't imagine what it would be without you.

Thanks for a great life. You've changed our lives more than we can ever think of. All of us benefited including countless malamutes.

While I can't believe another 12 years is possible, I do think we'll enjoy what we've got in grand style.

Will Mother Nature Cooperate with Old Man Winter?

p>Here is is May 6th and we are still skijoring. Pretty neat considering the dogs are off the snow usually by April 15th. Usually its so soft the break through and its a real drag to take them out. But this year we've had lots of snow, record breaking. With the cold nights its held up long enough to enjoy skijoring much alter than we usually do.

We really are insignificant in the landscape of things.

Sooo, will Mother Nature cooperate with Old Man Winter so we can ski into June?
