Last week our friend Julia was here visiting and helping out at the kennel. We stayed busy, busy, busy for the 10 days she was here - running dogs everyday, checking/working on some trails, and even squeezing in some 'non sled dog' things like horseback riding and watching a herding clinic at the neighbours!

We also took the time to introduce some of the youngsters to camping. It went SHOCKINGLY well!

A good run over to our campground to take the edge off everyone, some water and a snack, then time to 'take a break'...
The veterans know the routine and settled down quickly...

...it took the rookies a bit longer, but none of the 'theatrics' I was expecting....

And eventually they got it!
Julia and I started a little campfire, had some coffee, meat on a stick and marsh mellows! All good!

The dogs got some loving and attention ...

...before a shorter journey home. Lessons well learned that will set a great foundation for the youngsters futures!!!
