Double duty! The runs are long enough, and days short enough, that an opportunity to train and do trail work should not be passed up. I didn’t get any video of the hour of brush cutting that was involved😂. Good dogs!
Up in lead, out of sight, is Marten and Anderson, leading the team of 19.
And just like that, plenty of snow and back on sleds! It has been snowing for three days now, and we are up to at least two feet in total new accumulation. Wahoo!

A Black Spruce “First:” Shower time!
Over the years, we have had many inquiries about how often we bathe our dogs. And our answer has always been “Never. Why would we?Most of the time dogs are able to keep their own pH balance in perfect harmony, and double-coated dogs especially don’t need any assistance in keeping themselves clean. You can tell our dogs have happy, healthy coats by simply petting them and giving them a smell check.”
Well, last night we broke that no-shower trend and gave Braavos a shower! His spa treatment was not for beauty points, however. He had some dry and irritated skin, and needed a good cleanse to get better airflow to his skin.
As a funny aside, we used our outdoor hot water spigot and garden hose, run through the front door at 10 below zero. 🥶Good times in the dog life!
