It’s been a while since the last post. First, thank you to Lisa for recording our fall training and to Ryan for posting it on the blog. Our internet has been down and we can’t find the cord to download pictures. We are back on-line now and we’ll keep looking for the [...]

It’s 15 degrees in Dillingham at 9:10 PM and getting colder. We’ve got a little snow on the ground. The 10 foot birch basket sled is all fixed up (thanks Roger) and we’re taking it out tomorrow. Lucky, Luke, Bing, Bernard, Charlie, Felix, Olaf, Chester, and I are heading out to the flats to put [...]

My team. Spring 2007.
Roger Skogen’s team (my father-in-law). Koliganek, Alaska Fall 1992.
Keeping in mind the picture of Roger’s team is before they are muscled up from hard work and their coats have been shedding all summer, the two teams don’t look too different.
Roger’s was one of the last teams of [...]

The foot thing became a bit of an issue last week. The road had been rather wet and the little pieces of gravel were getting in between the dog’s pads causing those sores. Runs have been cut back a little to keep everyone in good enough shape to get going once the snow [...]

Johanna is with child. Found out last week. The little nipper should be making his/her appearance this summer.
We’re all very excited. Alethia is beside herself. She can’t wait to be an ulla again. Jake doesn’t know what to make of it all, but he’s not too happy hearing about his Mama with a new baby. [...]
