The weather may have been iffy down Hopedale way but man yesterday was fantabulous up here. Sun, nice breeze to prevent overheating, perfect for outdoor activity.

Me bones were resisting none the less I partook in the first 2xK9 stroll up into the hills. As predicted it was kaos at first, tangled lines, Siutik and Upik sounding very alike to untrained ears.

When hearing her name Siutik gave the usual look of superiority, Upik on hearing both names came back and collapsed on his back at my feet.

Things calm a bit once all the distractions of loose dogs and over spilt garbage boxes were behind us.

The action really started when I let them loose, Upik runs faster than I thought he could, and of course being larger he buried Siutik several times in the softer snow.
Conditioning came through in the end though with Siutik running him ragged overall.





Then came time to contain them, that was fun [not] with Upik being easier to con, had him on the leash for quite a ways with Siutik having non of it.
As is her want, when she was ready she came to me as we hit the built up area again.

Michel Andrew Update: is due into Hopedale around 1 pm, lot of excitement there and lot of relatives and people from Natuashish waiting to greet him.
