Raven and Cruise got to run in harness for the first time this morning. They ran with Tesla and Kiska for only about 1/2 mile and did really well. I am so proud of my "babies" as they both were very well behaved and serious about their "work". It was fun to put them into harness for the first time, and both seemed to enjoy the experience. I love those puppies so much...they are so intelligent, loving, funny and vocal. Raven is especially affectionate, and tries to hog all of the attention when they are together. I don't think Cruise minds, as he has his own agenda mostly.
Can't wait for cooler weather so we can get down to some real conditioning on the dogs, and work with the puppies more. Ted starts school again in about a week...then the Fall training will begin!
The tomatoes are taking their sweet time in ripening this year. I want to get chili and pasta sauce put up for this winter...but it looks as if it is going to be into September before I will be able to do that. We really haven't been getting much from the garden except for cukes and zucchini...a few tomatoes. The squash are abundant, as well as the peppers, but need to ripen more.
I hope we'll be able to have the grand kids up some more before school starts...Fall gets so busy after that. We do have a couple sleds to build and always wood to get stacked before the snow flies, too.
We did get Tara's drag brake put on her sled today. Took us 4 hours to get it all figured out, and I do hope she'll like it. I think I would like to put a wider one on my sled. My hips get so sore from standing on one leg for miles....I'd like to be able to get both feet on the drag brake, especially on those Baldwin trails!
Today is Alaine and Mikes 9th anniversary...and my brother Mikes 61st B-day! Wow.....
