New pups!!

We had our first litter of puppies for the summer on June 16 to Smoke and Grisman. Smoke is a dog we just got from Lance Mackey and Grisman is a Seavey dog that Sebastian Schneulle has now. There are 5 pups in the litter, 3 boys and 2 girls, and Smoke is a great mom! Her are some photos of their first days...

We named them after David Grisman songs to honor the Dawg himself and also the dad of the litter. Here is an introductory video.

They are now 2 weeks old and have their eyes open. They are super chunkers weighing in at 5lbs each! Here is super fat Dawgma! He looks a little sharpee-ish:)

Summer camp for the dogs

This summer we sent some of our dogs up to the Denver Glacier outside of Skagway, Alaska with our good friend and great dog driver, Megan. Here they will run a 2 mile loop for the tourists thoroughout the summer and will come back to us in early September. I just went down to Skagway to visit them for a couple of days to make sure they were happy and also because I missed them terribly:) Here is a  picture of their summer home from the air. They are having the time of their life, doing what they love best, staying cool and away from the bugs!!

 

Here is Brutus, giving me hug before I took off again. I miss you buddy!!

Here are the dogs all hooked up and ready to go. Who says you can't have winter all year long!! I am jealous, really.
