The purpose of an outing on the river

According to Autumn:
* Watch your human and go to her if she falls down.
* Forage for edible things, and eat them.
* If harnessed and hooked to your human, pick out the trail, and run just quickly enough so that it looks like you're pulling, but not really. Your sister can do all the pulling.

According to Linden:
* Forage for things that fit in your mouth, and eat them.
* If harnessed and hooked to your human, pull and follow your sister.
* Wheeeeeeeeee!!

So cute, the way you described them. Autumn is smarter I guess. I hope they both are protective of you.

Be safe

Oi! You gots a leader! Go Autumn! And Linden is just doing all the grunt work like a good wheel dog does :)

I always thought March was THE best time of year in the Interior. Solid trails and warm(ish) temps.

They were indeed respectively a leader and wheel dog when they ran on a team. :)

Alaskan Dave - how did you manage to move to Australia? That is pretty awesome.

Arvay: You picked two darned well matched dogs for a two dog team. Fair dinkum those two are!

Anon: It had to do with me falling in love with the most wonderful woman in the world: My wife! I'll have to write a post about it on my site for y'all to read.
