Sled Dogs

Here are some pictures of the sled dogs:

Above is Vogl (pronounced like "Vocal" but with a G).  She's one of the yearling pups from Pete Kaiser.  The litter is named after snowboard companies.  When she's excited she bounces up and down.  I call her Raccoon Face because of the circles around her eyes.

This is Burton.  Burton is Vogl's brother.  Next to him is their sister, Flo.

Here's one of the teams lined up.  In the front or lead are Trick and Lynx.  Lynx lives inside the house (the only one that does full-time).  He doesn't like to get wet and is too smart for his own good.  Trick is about two years old and is another Kaiser dog.  He used to be pretty crazy and I would never want to spend a lot of time with him, but since the new pups came and he's been running he's been really good and is turning out to be a good leader.  Behind them in "swing" are Katrina (left- the black one) and Earnheart.  Katrina and Earnheart are half siblings- their father is Solomon, who is a famous sled dog.  Sometimes we call Katrina "Fancy".  She's run the Iditarod twice and also ran the Yukon Quest, which are the two most intense races that I know of. Earnheart is kind of aloof but is a sweet dog.  Behind them are two of the snowboard dogs (Sims and I can't tell who is next to him), then Yukon (black and white), Flo and Burton, and then Puma and Pika in "wheel".  I call Pika "Pikachu", and she's one of the dogs that I like to snuggle with. 

Here's Casie and the second team taking off onto the tundra!
