Good Dogs

 "Hello! We had so much fun skijoring this morning!" says happy Jack & Rudy!

Such happy kids at our turnaround point. Oh, don't worry, they rolled snow
angels before posing for this shot (note the snow on Rudy's nose leftover 
from rolling in the snow :)

Lots of fun to be had on the trails at Breckenridge Nordic Center this morning. Come along for the ride.

We started in the morning shade topping 23 MPH on the Gluteus Maximus Trail. Zoom:

Nice power from Rudy and nice speed from Jack. Wheeee!

We then got out of the shadow of the mountains and into the early morning sun. Such nice views:

Cool clouds, mountains and morning sun to our right.
Impressive Jack & Rudy flying along the trail :)

Here is a really cool shot that needs a little explanation to appreciate. It was snowing nearby with a slight breeze while we are flying along this trail in the sun. So, all the white speckles you see against the trees are snowflakes being blown onto us from the nearby snow via the morning breeze. Look straight up from Jack's right ear and that white blob is a snowflake that just hit the camera. Snowing while the sun is shining, pretty cool.

Snowing? Yes. Sun shining? Yes. Cool.

Now for today's video we get good dogs and bad dogs. Good dogs: Jack & Rudy towing me along the trail and then stopping on command when we encounter loud barking dogs coming up the trail. Bad dogs: the two coming up trail barking excessively as their human can barely get them slightly under control. Good dogs: Jack & Rudy silently waiting for the bark frenzy to get close enough where I can release them to run away from the bad dogs and finish taking me to the trailhead. I like good dogs :)

Good dogs get 'end of run' pork treats!

"We were all good dogs today!" says the happy & focused trio.
