Snow Dogs

We went over to the Merpaws today and as we were leaving we heard a lot of barking dogs. We looked across the street at the park. There were a lot of people practicing with their sled dogs for an upcoming sledding competition. So, we went over to get a closer look.  They were really kind and talked to us about their dogs.  They are so excited to get hooked up to the sled and start running, that you have to attach them one at a time...lead dog first:

They are so anxious to get going that one man almost cannot hold them back...

These dogs are so beautiful. Some are huskies, but most are Malamutes.

Amazing day!  So much fun to learn about and see sledding dogs. And apparently, these dogs aren't just for pulling sleds, everyone there said that they stay inside the house with the family. Amazing since they are really large.... and if you had 4 of those in your home.... wow!  Still, they are beautiful.
