My First Ride

Christmas Eve, Russ hooked up dogs to his new sled.

He wanted to make sure it worked well, before we added more dogs...and me.


So today, the day after Christmas, I took the helm and away we went.

I was a tad nervous, but it went well.

Both me, and the dogs...had smiles.

Until tomorrow, dear friends.  God willing.

Our New Wheels (...er... Sled!)

 Daisy, Daisy...

(Let's all sing...)

But you'll look sweet up on the seat
Of a dog sled that's built for two~!

It's done!


Russ made a new sled!

And it's built for two!


 Earlier this week,
Russ came up to the Wee House and showed me the completed sled,
while I was there, working in my "office".

He let it slide down the drive by our Wee House, showing me its "glide".





Notice the drag brake on the rear?

Well, recycling Russ used an old swing from a school yard swing set.




Russ loves to maneuver a sled.




The horses were snorting, flying about, stomping.

Those of you who know Raz, know that nothing ever gets him excited.

But the sound of the new runners obviously did.



So Russ dragged the new sled up to show him.

And his buddy Nauish.

Our black Mustang.



But first, we took a good look at our new mode of transportation.



I'll be at the front.



Russ will take up the rear.



A trip to town is in order.

It's been 3 weeks since I've stepped foot off our "40"... and oh, how I have loved it.



But first, we just need to...



...hook up the dogs!!


Note:  This photo was not taken this winter.


Until tomorrow, dear friends.  God willing.
