| First off I want to say that we have finished our new dog truck! It is all that I imagined and more! I do have to say although it was a long process and wait, it was well worth it! Having lights in storage area and on the sides where the dogs are, just help out a lot! Plus it rides so much better than the trailer ever did. I can't believe how smooth it rides! We have used it several times and the dogs seem to like it more. I am just in awe of this dog truck, I can't stop ranting and raving about it! :) But I will stop so I can talk about the dogs! We went on our first camping trip this past weekend. What a blasts! Dogs did fairly good settling in on their rest time, once we gave them hay and food. We only went 10 miles before we stopped to have a break so they weren't at all tired. Next time we will have to go further. But overall the dogs did good. We had one 17 dog team, and one 14 dog team. My other fourwheeler wouldn't start so Maggie's team had to get split up between Ray and I. So I got the 17 dog team on my big machine, and Ray and Maggie got 14 dogs on Ray's little machine. I was very impressed with how well all the dogs did. You can view photos of the camping trip on my picasa web, and also a video under the video page too! Everything else is just been busy with the holidays right around the corner. This weekend we are going to our friends Kim and Kelly's in New Hampshire to run with them. I am sure I will have things to say about that! Stay tuned! But for now, Happy Holidays & Happy Trails! ~Fort Illio Kennels~ |
