The above is a still from some video I took yesterday in the girl yard. That’s Hjordis on the right, with Black-Eyed Susan (we usually just call her Susan) peeking out of Jackie’s house with a mad grin on her face. The gray puppy is Rose.

The Wolftrack Classic last Sunday was a lot of fun. The trail was absolutely beautiful - especially the section that went through Bear Head State Park. The race was 60 miles and ran from Ely to Tower and back. There are some pretty decent hills between the two towns and I think I ran up most of them with the team.

It was pretty chilly when we were hooking up in Ely but the sun came out and warmed everything up. In fact, coming back from tower it felt downright hot to us.

Once again, we finished in last place (Red Lantern) but all the dogs were happy so that was good. Hjordis, who really stood out on my Beargrease 150 team shone again in the Wolftrack. She is one super two-year-old!

Now we are back to puppy training. Blake and Jen both finished the Can-Am and will be back at the kennel later this week.

It has been sunny and warm here the past couple of days - a great time to be outside enjoying the steadily lengthening days.
