I’m absolutely positive that it was just the other day that I was saying “it’s the year 2000” and now I have to say 2010. Time does fly by very quickly, but a lot has been accomplished in that time; Jill and I moved back to Oregon, I enjoyed one of the best teams I’ve ever had and then watched them age and slow down. Now I have another great team in front of me and I wonder; are they better than the last one? In some ways they are.
The old team had some dogs in it that didn’t make good pets; they just wanted to be good sled dogs. I worked with them for several years and never got their “pet personality” to come out. The team I have today, ever one of them is a good sled dog and a good pet. They are comfortable in all surrounding and situations.
The weather is working against sled dogs mushers in the northwest with Frog Lake 1 being cancelled. Some club members kept going to the race site hoping for better condition but each time it just got worse. I hope things are going better for other race giving organizations in the region.
Thank you to all the club members that worked on Frog Lake 1 right up until the final decision to cancel. Its heart braking but the team is stronger and better prepared for Frog Lake 2.
Happy New Year Please Let It Snow,
Lance
