Ceremonial Start
Its late and everyone is tired so to be brief, the dog did awesome today. Weleft at noon in the heat of the day, 60 teams had gone in front of us turning the trail into 12 inches of mashed potatoes, and still the dog ran fantasticlly, and they did it with more people than they had seen in their whole life shouting and cheering. The went through tunnels and over bridges, all things we had never trained for, and they did it flawlessly. We woulnd’t have asked for more. Here are a fw more photos of the day from several friends and family members.
The dogs bolting into the first tunnel they’ve ever seen.
The dogs wearing they’re “Until-There-Are-None-Adopt-One” coats made by our friend Kate in the hope of getting the message out for more people to adopt dogs from animal shelters.
