Found a very interesting video on Aliy Zirkle's blog about the science of studying sled dogs (http://spkenneldoglog.blogspot.com/2009/01/physiology-research-at-sp-kennel.html).Its well worth a look if your curious about how sled dogs can work so hard and for so long. Many people are studying this aspect of their lives. We are fortunate to read up on some of these reports when they make it to Mushing Magazine (www.mushing.com).
Not only do the sled dogs shape a mushers life mentally and physically every day but they are offering the world a very informative glimpse on how humans and animals function...

We will be getting our team out today. I still have lots of work to do but today Im selfishly claiming as a running day in the hopes that we can get back on our schedule the way it was before it got so cold around here.
I'm trying to get a bit of work done before we leave though so this entry will be short. More photos to come as I plan to take out my camera a LOT today, rest the dogs often and enjoy the heck out of what ever adventure comes our way!!
