The other day I was at the local pharmacy picking up some tablets for a routine worming for my dogs.
(As fall training approaches I want to be ready for next season!)
When I was paying the cashier, she asked me if I wanted a free dog poop bag ?

I was smiling and already visualised myself stopping on a run to scoop poop and put it in a bag.

Do urban mushers use them I wondered ?

Up next on my fall training check list :
Check dogs vaccinations
Equipment check ( collars, harnesses, ganglines, bungee shock absorber )
Check the brakes of cart and quad !

Are you ready for fall training ?

Akela's Den is looking for a handler for next season. Last year Marc Driessen went to Canada for about 5 months to handle for Bart and Stefaan. The brothers Stefaan De Marie and Bart De Marie, originally from Belgium, run Akela's Den Sleddog Supplies & Racing kennel in Christopher Lake - Canada.
Since Marc did a good job there, they are looking for another Belgian to experience first class long distance mushing.

Next fall Riga will make her first appearance in the team, so it's time for some harness fitting.

No, this one is already to small !

Since january Nikolai came over from the lowlandstrail kennel to join our team. Everything worked out great, and as of today he officially joined our kennel on Stamtavla.

Nikolai ( Skogen's Ruby x Tixie's Kasper) is a littermate of Nome and Willow.
