from 30-11 to 6-12 in 5 minutes

Okay, so I have neglected you guys for this past week.

Last friday 30-11 we had Baylee running in our team for the very first time. She's turning 1 on the 23rd of this month.
I put her in front of my scooter next to Sky, but she was a bit affraid, and didn't really know what to do. It was dark in the woods. But Sky just took her along. After 2 turns, Baylee figured out that she had to pull. So she did. And she kept running. So fast! She made 2 stops, 1 pee stop and 1 poo stop. Sky was trotting allong the way, but Baylee is not as fast as Sky yet, so she was in gallop all the time. After 1,5 km her tail went down, and she started to walk really slow. So we turned around, and started backwards.
Baylee and Sky now both were trotting. So that was really good. Only the last 300 m she saw her buddy Goku and her owner Gwen, so she started to fly again. But all in all she ran really well. We ran 3 km. Not that much for my dogs, but it was a long day.

Saturday 1-12 we got up really early to go to a winterfair. We had to give a sled dog demo. Once arrived we were placed outside, between pallets and other trash... So we only had a few visitors. Our tent didn't stay down, and all stuff. But all in all it was ok. So we decided to pack up and go home. Since in 7 hours of time we only had 15 visitors.
We were soaked to the bone, everything was wet, and muddy. And cold, even the dogs were really grumpy. It was too bad, because it would've been really nice.

Sunday 2-12 we had a resting day. we did nothing, except unpack.
Then monday 3-12 we had planned to train with the dogs. But I was really exhausted, and not feeling that well, so we skipped.

me al dressed up for a snow run
Then finally yesterday, it was snowing. And we went for a run. we did 13,06 km in 1 hour an 2 minutes. They ran an average of 12,5 km/h.
Skippa was by himself in front of Kevins bike. There was lots of fireworks in the distance, but he just ignored it! Way to go! But he was slow. Kept an pace of 12/13km/h i think. While Sky en Koda had an pace of 15/17 km/h. So i had to brake all the time, and wait up for kevin. Which resulted in a low average speed. It was really lovely and nice to be in the woods with all the snow.
Last night we had some sort of snowblizzard. The wind was blowing really hard, and it was snowing a lot.

So this morning we got up, but the dogs rather stayed in my bed.

We then went for a walk, but only 1 dog at a time, attacted to a flexible line, so
they had some freedom to run and play.
