It's December already?

We started training in October this year, it's been warm and rainy even though we had two good Holiday snow storms.  We hope we get another storm soon as we are ready to be on sleds!  This year we have 17 dogs in the training pool although Dodge will be retired from racing.  We have 4 yearlings in the pool - Arthur, Merlin, Lottie & Morgana.  All are doing great!  Lottie is super amazing though, that girl is on the A team for sure!  Every dog is doing well and running great!  We are very much looking forward to racing this year.  We plan on doing mostly sprints to 30 milers with two teams.  The two new dogs, Sobe & Utin have settled right in and we expect them to be two of our top dogs.  It feels so good to have a Skor son back in the team!  We are thrilled to have another Watt daughter too in Sobe.  Wired has really stepped it up and is knocking our socks off in lead.  That girl rocks!  We switched to Inukshuk dog food this year and think it's the best food we have ever fed.  The dogs keep excellent weight and are full of energy!  They also don't need to eat as much cups as previous foods to keep weight.
