| Running through water. Deep water. |
Remember yesterday when I said we went on a fast dog ride through the woods??? I lied. I didn't mean to lie, I just didn't realize the true meaning of the word fast yesterday. Today I experienced true, dangerous, no-messing-around dog mushing and am covered with bruises to prove it.

These dogs ARE NOT MESSING AROUND. They mean BUSINESS.

Once all 14 were harnassed up, 5 of us went for the ride of our lives. We were all bruised, one camera was lost when we plummeted over a steep hill and if flew straight up about 6 feet out of her pocket and everyone had a renewed passion for life when we made it back in one piece.

This is the crazy huge vehicle that the dogs were pulling. It was hard to get a good picture of it because it flew by me very quickly. There were only 14 dogs harnassed up today - in the Iditarod the teams start with 16 dogs, with a sled that weighs almost nothing! I can't even imagine what that feels like!

The meat puppies (Burger, T-bone, Sirloin, Flank, Broil and Brisket) get walked every day and night. They are unbearably cute little bundles of fuzz.
