Well, here we have wildly fluctuating weather. A couple of mornings ago it dipped down to 35, which was wonderful for me and Calypso. We had a great scooter run. Probably our last for a while. The mushing season is drawing to a close all too quickly.

Calypso is blowing her coat. In the past, I have brushed her in the house and ended up with basketfulls of fluff, which I take outside. This year, I am bypassing the basket and grooming Calypso outside. I’m combining it with tether training. I have a 6-foot chain I bought at Cold Spot (while in AK of course) and I have been hooking her to that. She is taking it very well and doesn’t seem to mind at all. I think she enjoys being outside with me (though she isn’t wild about the getting brushed part). So things are going well with us.

I have been in touch about a handling job, which I will expand on later if things work out. If they do, it could mean some big changes for me, Calypso and Wolf Moon Dogsledding.

Stay tuned!

Hi Alice,
Glad to hear things are going good, even if things are warming up.
Good luck on the handling job, lol, not to sound weird but be careful!

Thanks, Ashley!

You don’t sound weird at all, I know what you mean. Fortunately the place I am looking at is pretty reputable.
