What’s up, dog?

This weekend, dogsledding races were held up here in the northern hinterlands. I decided to go check out the action Saturday morning. And not just because of the food! I rather enjoy winter festival food. Someone we all know and love may or may not have visited the cafe au lait booth twice – she’ll never tell.

When I arrived, I was super excited to see a truck I have spotted numerous times around town. I’ve wanted to photograph it for a year and a half. Now, victory!

Lots of dogs were hanging around the parking lot (tied up, of course). This St. Bernard just wanted some love.

And, who could resist that?

These puppies were just enjoying the action

And here, a matching crew!

This doggie reminded me of a big, fluffy sheep

Finally, it was time for some racing

Go, team!

These dogs were not going very fast – they were very interested in the people

So, the driver got off his sled and let the dogs chase him to the finish line

A big snowstorm was on its way!

After the dogsledding, I went snowshoeing. So, more snow pix to come later!

Dear Elizabeth Sensei,

Thank you for the pictures. We all loved when the man got off his sled and ran to the finish line. We liked it when the dogs chased the man.

Love from the second grade class.
