So, we finally got some snow here too. Kati was able to train the dogs using a sled on Saturday for the first time this season, and yesterday both, Kati and Suvi, drove the dogs on sleds. Unfortunately I didn't have a camera with me on weekend training, but here's a photo from last Friday. Suvi trained her team on an ATV.

Wilma's been running together with other dogs since December. She's obviously not in a good shape after giving birth to 5 little ones, but she loves going training and always does her best in harness.
Also the racing teams have changed some. First of all, Jade couldn't run together with Suvi's team, because of an old injury, a broken toe. She's been running in lead of the yearling team since early December. Benny and Simo have ran in Suvi's team for a few runs now. The boys are honest workers, but they're too big to make it in a bigger team's faster speed. Koff and Uule moved into Kati's team where they work well now that Kati's heading for mid distance races. (They'd be too young to participate on long distance races.)
The first race of this season is held in weekend two weeks from now. Kati's participating on 8 dogs class and Suvi's heading for the 4 dogs class. I know it's not yet sure which dogs run in what teams.
Anyway, puppies. The Nordysak E litter boys have grown a lot. They're a happy bunch of little ones. The boys live in a puppy pen with Wilma, but they've visited the "big boy pen" a few times, terrorising the peaceful life of older boys. The E-boys were just 5 weeks old when they played together with other boys for the first time, but these photos are also taken on last Friday. Pups are 8 weeks old.
