Alternate title: Don't eat the yellow snow...






Today was Day 1 of the Japan Cup - the dogsled races in Wakkanai!

The dogs came in all shapes and sizes!


There were so many adorable dogs today! I saw a few of them pulling sleds, but most of them were just hangin' with their buds and eatin' doughnuts. OK, maybe not...I did see one eating snow, though!


















OK, I found this random picture of food while I was uploading pictures...doesn't it look kind of gross! Salt and Chocolate!





















The last picture is a gorgeous Newfoundland dog pulling heavy stuff. He or she won! The first picture is also a competitor in the pulling heavy stuff contest...but that dog (a beautiful St. Bernard) kind of charged off the track into the crowd. It was kind of funny... :-)

What a treat! How many of us have actually seen dog sledding?? Now you have given us glimpses of it. THANK YOU! It is not what I imagined. I thought there would be teams of 8 dogs...not just 1 medium-sized dog.

I like salted chocolate covered peanuts so salt and chocolate sounds somewhat appetizing!

I wonder why the dog's paws don't get frostbite?
