How quickly time passes!

So alot has happened in the last little bit for me. First, I set some new personal records! I just recently went a dog sled adventure with the most amount of dogs I've taken out yet. On Sunday, I was able to take out 8 dogs! Not only was the number of dogs a new record for me but it was also the longest trail that I had ever taken. We groomed some new trails and I was really excited to see the spectacular view from the back of a sled! It truly was beautiful .......... I was enjoying the view a little too much though and took a new corner a bit too fast. It was then that I took my first spill of the day. It wasn't too bad....... I stopped the dogs, righted the sled and got going again! Our turn around point was just around that corner and we got the dogs turned around, fed them their treats and gave them a bit of a rest. It was when I headed back around that same corner that I really took a dive. I was putting both feet and all of my weight on the brake to slow the 8 crazy, happily exuberant dogs down and wasn't able to fully control the sled. I ended up hitting a tree that really rocked the sled and myself off to the left. I hit the ground so hard that my hat that had been secured to my head flew off! I did somehow manage to stop the dogs before they drug me too far. It all happened so fast but all I could remember is don't let go of the sled!! Anyways, I picked myself up and when I righted the sled, it didn't feel right ....... the sled was no longer a solid structure! I had broke their sled! I couldn't really believe it at first and I felt pretty bad. I was later told that they were surprised that it had lated as long as it had! That made me feel better at least. We all also agreed that some changes needed to be made to that corner. So, I also set a new record that day as I had never biffed more than once a trip. To top it all off ......... I broke my first sled. It was quite the experience, not that I want to do that again but it probably won't be the last time!

To top everything off ........... our beautiful Nikita had 9 beautiful puppies last night!! YAY!!! Check out my new puppy page!!

Ciao for now!
