Snow Day ❄️

Working on getting the van back in "fully operational" mode. It seems efficient to have a snowfall warning and mechanical issues on the same day though. Hopefully will be back at it early next week.

I am working on a schedule for tomorrow to finish up harness fittings for our Hawt Dawg & Co order. Last call!

What a gorgeous day for running!! I am absolutely loving the confidence running has been giving Marlo the doodle. This was her first run next to Halo the husky, and she rocked it! Marlo is one of my many pups who get overwhelmed with introductions to new dogs.

Unfortunately, during drop offs the van started acting up. Until I can get that sorted, we are grounded 😭. And I was all ready to test out our new and improved (and very aggressive) tires for the snow tomorrow 😂.

Eight legs, four ears, and one eyeball 👁️

It's been awhile since everyone saw Oxy, but she's been back in harness twice this week! I'm hoping to keep her on a regular team spot this year - as the saying goes "if you don't move it, you lose it". Oxy does enjoy sleeping 23 hours a day, so it's important for us to find opportunities for her to get mobile within her means. She still LOVES pulling, and I think this team is a great fit for her.

Willow the Malamute was a nice and steady partner for her ❤️👌

Scooters for dog powered sports aren't the small wheeled ones you commonly see.

These are basically mountain bikes with a foot pad rather than a seat :)

Should you bike or scooter? That's a personal choice. They're different, but one isn't really easier or better than the other. Best is to just give it a try!

We had a blast at the Inverhuron race this weekend!

Kelly and Keeper were in sync for the two dog scooter. I don't practice much on the scooter, so the speeds were... exhilarating. But two clean runs landed this pairing a third place spot overall!

Eo used her big boss energy to wrangle Keeper's brother, Jig. He brought loads of speed and power to this two dog bike team, but needed guidance during the last half of the course on the Saturday. Despite being 6 years old than him and only 2/3 the size, she pushed him onto the right track many times. On Sunday he demonstrated his great brain by remembering the course, and running smoothly... except when challenged by a kamikaze squirrel that got both Jig and Eo into chase mode. A quick line fix was all that was needed, but we ended up 1 second away from a podium spot. Keeper and Jig's litter mates were running with the teams taking spots 2, 3, 4 & 5!

Despite my optimism of still being functional to run later teams today - starting a 9 hour drive at 5pm does not make for a very lively person on Monday.

I'll see everyone tomorrow!

Our teams are definitely not uniform. Big & small, fluffy and naked...as long as they enjoy it, they can do it!

Marshall takes his running very seriously. Stopping for photos is a waste of time. How do I know he's enjoying it? Being in lead is a tough position. It really requires a dog to have that drive to run forwards. Marshall loves running in lead (as long as the snow isn't deeper than his little legs).

A last reminder that runs for tomorrow and Monday am are cancelled. We're headed to the Inverhuron Dryland Dogsled Derby this weekend :)

The vast majority of our Run a Mutt pups run in Hawt Dawg & Co harnesses!

I am currently putting together an order for Timmins. While harness use is built into your regular run price, if you are interested in running with your own dog it's a must!

Reach out if you are interested.

Kuzco (small, collared), Griffey (large, regular)

Welcome Shiloh!

This fluffy boy has taken one of the few remaining team spots for this winter. He was so happy, he wagged his tail almost the entire run!

The first snowflakes were falling on us as we ran today 😍❄️

Learned a lot this week running the teams. One of the biggest things with teams is making sure the whole group works well. From individual partners (who likes to run with who, and on which side of the trail), to the whole team makeup (hard workers vs scenery buffs, speed preferences, and who can be up front in lead). It's a lot of moving parts!

We also welcome back some pups like Astro who don't do summer walking, and are introducing some of our walkers like Twyla & Nova to team runs!

Now time for the weekend, but not a restful one! Saturday we're hosting our first Try It runs, then we head to Onaping for a one day race event on Sunday.

How is it Thursday already?!?

This first week with a full team run schedule has been pretty awesome. I may make a few tweaks here and there to make sure each dog loves their running team, but I think things are looking quite lovely.
