A belated “Happy Spring”  to everyone !

It’s been a warm, dry spring here in PA. WE already have all the excess straw from the winter raked out of the dog yard, water buckets filled and hung - and it’s only April.

Mowing has started and , the early tulips and daffodils  have gone by - and we’re awaiting the sweet smell of lilacs.

We were thrilled with the dogs’ performances and Johnn’s placing at the East Meets West race. Since the gig race course was challenging, he put 8 year old Carl on lead in that class, paired with 2 year old Billie. The yearling Sam took the weekend off. Johnn was concerned all the up/down hills, corners at high speed might be just a bit much for him at this point in time.

Jan Bootz-Dittmar phoned us as we drove toward Chicago Sunday night to tell us Johnn recieved one of the race’s Special Award - Best Dressed Musher !  Apparently all his safety gear ( full face helmet, chest protector, BMX padded gloves ) made him a stand out. Rest assured, this will be the only time Johnn will win the Best Dressed Musher Award !!

A heavy frost and cooler AM temps greeted us as everyone returned to the East Meets West race site Sunday . AS the sun came up, it warms up and became a beautiful autumn day with the highs around 50. No breeze. Complete times are now posted on ISDRA’s website.
