Dog days of summer 2012

It's the dog days of summer.  Although we've not had much heat to speak of this season.  It's been very rainy here in Fairbanks.  We at Sun Dog Express decided to close the summer demo's for the 2012 season.  Looks like fishing, ranching and my "real job" work schedule will make it somewhat impossible to gather sled dogs and transport them to the winter dog yard for such activities.  The Sun Dogs are comfortably settled into their summer dog yard.  Digging holes  and scheduled howling sessions seem to be the norm.  All too soon the snow will return and we will be back to running the wilderness trails of interior Alaska.  http://www.mosquitonet.com/~sleddog/ Photo: Sled dogs busy working on excavating a stump in the summer dog yard.  Chummy supervises.  The hole under this stump is actually several feet deep.
