The Cold Snap

So I'm a bit behind with the blogging again. The cold snap we had started about Christmas time and ended a few weeks ago. Since our cutoff for running dogs is about -30 degrees, we didn't run dogs for a while. During this down time, we took this opportunity to bring the dogs in the house as much as possible. Of course they would have been fine outside, but since we didn't exactly want to spend much time outside, we found them spending more time inside for visits. It was fun for all. We're happy to report that since we've been bringing the sled dogs into the house, Dust and Peat were officially introduced to the house dogs Aklak and Keno - and they've been buddies ever since! It's great that all 8 dogs can be in the house together without any issues. Here's a few of the photos we got when the dogs were in the house. Of course the best photo opportunities occurred when the camera was out of reach, but we're happy with the pics we got.
