No pictures... again.

It would seem that it is time for my irregular update.

Still have no pictures to post. Actually, I do have pictures to post, but no way of posting them. Borrowed computer and all that. So, again, text will have to do.

Winter is slowing down. More to the point, I think, it has stopped. We were +11 yesterday and have had -- and will be getting more -- rain. Although the trails that we were running are still on waist-deep snow they are too punchy to run. Even on snowshoes I sink up to my knees when I'm walking on them. As well, the river that I used as a trail is now more suited to a canoe than a dogsled. Ahhh, life in the south. I think that we had one solid month of decent sledding.

I have started work on the new dog run. I am working on getting material together for a few sleds that I want to build this summer and I am looking for a good anorak. If anyone has any sources for the anorak thing, let me know.

Is it as boring reading this without pictures as it is to write? I do apologize again and promise that soon, in the near future, I will have pictures and more interesting stuff to write about.

After a long absence...

So, here it is almost the end of January and nary an update 'til now.

Thanks to all who have faithfully kept checking back here. I do apologise for taking so long to update my blog. The excuses are many, but as those of you close to us know, we have undergone a fairly substantial change in our lives. I'm really happy to say that it didn't involve getting rid of our dogs.

This is a short post with no pictures because we are not set up to do things properly yet, so bear with me just a little longer. I'll fill everyone in on our trip back, our new 'situation' and our dogs progress. I'll even have some pictures.

Thanks to all who have been kind enough to leave a comment and for those of you who want to see how things are in the Yukon, maybe Stacie will be kind enough to send me the address to her blog so that I can add it to my links section... (how 'bout it, Stacie?)
