Old Man Winter has his say..

I LOVE to snow shoe especially with a K-9 companion.
A new rescue dog named FRED joined us and he had a great time. I think I have a new hiking pal.

We depend on good snow conditions for our winter racing circuit.
With global warming we have ALL been doing a snow dance, perhaps to much dancing this year.. Two of our 4 planed races have been Cancelled due to too much snow. AGHHHH.... Epic weather conditions have changed race trails on many races around the country this season.

We did get to go to a local race this year for the first time.
Joe ran the 12 dog class at Conconully, WA. The dogs ran 35 miles a day.
Joe placed 3rd.
The bonus for us was he won the Sporstmanship award and we won the BEST CARED for 12 dog team!! WOW what a weekend..

We are currently hanging out in Canada at the cabin thru the 4th of Feb. Running the dogs, snowshoeing, soaking in the hot tub. Paula and Richard make it hard for us to come back home after a week of this.
Back to reality in a few days for us.

Wishing you Mid-Winter Cheers
Becky & Joe

Hey, I just left a message on your VM yesterday saying I hoped you weren't stuck in a snowbank somewhere. Glad to see you're able to enjoy the insanity instead. :)
Quote of the week came second hand from the brother of coffee shack gal while helping dig out his friend's car in Ronald: "Waitaminute- where's your fence?" "Dude, you're standing on it!"
