Dogs, again




There was an opportunity this morning for people and their dogs to get introduced to ski-joring (dog pulling person on skis), so we went up past Jackson Lake to watch and maybe get some pics. There were three people there for the class, and there were also two couples at the trailhead who were taking tours with Durango Dog Ranch.  

It was fun watching the dogs getting harnessed and waiting to go. Above are some of the happy faces and one of the mushers giving a dog a hug before they set off on the run. It's fun to hear the canine cacophony build up as the dogs come out of their cages and get lined up ... and then to hear the sudden silence - a sound vaccuum - when the last team starts to pull. tv
