A Final Goodbye..

My team.Above: Bruiser (left), Muk-luk (right). This is Muk-luk's third time running in the lead position, EVER, and she did amazing. Running lead demands intelligence, maturity, and the ability to focus on one's job when there are other things going on around (mainly behind) them. Muk-luk is two years old, and has come a long ways from the skiddish and fearful dog she was at the beginning of the season. If I guide trips here next here, I hope to train Muk-luk to be an expedition leader.

Below: Merlin (left), Moon (right), two brothers who really kicked ass on my team. On long days, often I found the only dog left actually pulling on my team was Merlin. He can pull my entire sled (and me on it), just by himself. There are bigger dogs who can't do nearly as well. Merlin and Moon are both one year old. Behind them is a dog named Nina, left, and my boy Torque, right. On the sled is an old friend of mine from the UofA, Audrey. These are photos I took of my team, on a last fun-run on my last day of work at Chocpaw. Im happy I have these photos, Im going to miss those dogs.
