From the feel of the handle bow I could tell each pup was dropping off their tug even though it wasn't obvious from their lines. They were slowly giving up... it was total musher error on my part since this is the first time Ive ever taken power away from the pups, I didn't reduce their weight and they haven't been out for a while.
I did do something right out there though, we planned on taking the short trail and that worked out very, very well. If I was to take them a mile or so farther I would have started loosing their trust mentally.
I plan to get them out again very soon to help wipe away the memory of this run and get them back on track.
So since the run wasn't all that great I will leave off the trail photos for now and share with you the joy they had before our run when they were racing around the place, as they always do while I harness and get their lines ready...
Remus stops short, disturbing the snow as if it were dust
Juno watches while Hermes and Calypso wrestle each other to the ground
Hermes and Calypso again play fighting while Juno moves in for a closer bite
More play fighting and tooth displays from Calypso and Hermes... all completely harmless... Gaea sneaks in asking to play too
"Too far guys..."The pups high tail it back after I call to them that they have gone too far down the parking area. Juno leads with pure delight. She LOVES that she can always be faster than the puppies...
