It's really fall!

No snow yet, a few flurries here and there but nothing that has stuck yet. I'm not too upset over that, since there is lots to do before the snow flies!

In the meantime, I'm getting the dogs out running here and there and here was our run from yesterday on new trails too, yippee!

Look at that - Rupert leads! The 13yr old takes after his mom, who ran until well into her 14th year! We needed his help at hookup and I let him run with us for a couple km's then let him loose to run free. Everyone else seems to be a disaster at hook up but Rupert kept things rolling today.

Kuna and crew helping me clear new trails this weekend.


The "bridge" over the creek.

Here's a little video of our run"

PB and Esther, the happiest punks in the yard!

Loki and Ivy were awesome. Except for a wee tangle we had on the trail when we ran out of trail and had to turn around. Ivy popped out of her harness, luckily she doesn't go too far.

This is where I ran out of gas in the 4-wheeler and had to ugh... HELP the dogs! Pushing a quad uphill is HARD, especially when the dogs thought we were close enough to home to stop pulling! Luckily we were just at the bottom of the meadow and had to make it up the hill.

Look at Ripper in lead turning around, as if to say "why don't you let me loose and I'll just walk home from here eh?"

And thanks to Aunty Tamara - the dogs have plenty of yummy moose bones!

Harris hides in the house, even though I give them the damned bones, they look at me suspiciously like I'm going to take them away too!

Kuna and his big ol' bone

They're using the condo! Jack is eating away in there. After I first gave them the bones, a few scurried under the condo to hide, haha!

Ripper, the one dog who is always in desperate need to chew SOMETHING, finally eats something meant for dogs. Unlike the leash he tried to steal from me to eat earlier in the day - took it right out of my hand and tried to run away with it!!!

The elusive Loki blends in with his natural surroundings.

Ivy eats while Rupert chews away inside the lame dog condo - it really needs some work too.

Full moon out last night - taken through the upstairs window. The unfinished gable ends are the two major things that need finishing, since the ceiling is *almost* done - 6 more boards to go!!! Woohooo!
