Tasha has been
adopted!!
I just had to write and tell you about my weekend. I
am so excited! I have basically been running with the dogs and working on
their commands as I did not have enough harnesses to run all three of them
behind > my cart. Well, I finally got a gangline for 4 dogs and enough
harnesses. I have joined the Dune Mushers and went over to the coast this
weekend for my maiden voyage with the three dogs. Well, we did not get
lost. I used Shadow and Tasha as my lead dogs the first day and we went
about 2 miles on trails on the dunes. They did well. I had put Shadow and
Tasha out as lead the first day, because Shadow was responding the best to
my commands and Tasha was my best runner. Well, Tasha truly is my best
runner ( I really have a hard time keeping up with her and up right) so I
put her out as lead by herself the second day. I was a little
nervous, because it was wide open dunes with no trails. I was thrilled she
was a good strong leader. She kept the line tight and did great with the
commands. So, Tasha will now be the leader of the team. I am just thrilled
that I decided to take her. Shadow is doing well also. He is a very sweet
dog and really follows commands well. This was my first trip out with the
dogs. They rode well all the way in the cages in the truck and slept all
night in them. All in all it was a great trip and the dogs were just
wonderful. I just wanted to let you know that they are doing great and we
are having fun mushing behind the cart. I am now researching the purchase
of a sled and hope to have them on the snow this winter. Also, I am
looking to add a 4th dog to my team. Hope all is well and everything is
going well with you and your dogs. I am so glad that I have Shadow and
Tasha. Thanks again.
