"Almost Ready Here In The Northern Forest!"

10/25/2020

The kennel work here on the girls side just about finished with all the holes filled in and houses levelled. But of coarse some of the girls had to make some new digs!
Next the boys side.
Soon the ground will freeze and the dogs digging will be finished!
The weather here this week was crazy.
Rain, snow, torrential rain, strong winds, warm days and below freezing nights.
Four seasons, all in one week.
The forecast in now for a cold dry week coming up.
Hopefully, I can start to run the dogs!
Can't wait!
until next week.......

"Slowly all The Kennel Work Is Getting Completed Here In The Northern Forest!"

It was another wet week here at Miortuk with rain almost every day.
The lake water levels are the same as after the Spring thaw.
However, it gave an opportunity to get a lot of work done on leveling the kennel in anticipating the ground will soon start to freeze.
It feels good to see the progress and rekindle my desire to start running the dogs.
The dogs are all looking good and are anxious to commence the training.
They are getting very active with the anticipation of starting do what they enjoy the most, RUNNING!
Several of the female are in heat and they are also some of my main leaders.
With the teams being broke down to 6 Dog Teams, it makes it not the best for pairing and accidental breeding's on the runs are certainly not desirable.
Been there and done that in the past!
Lessons learned!
The good news is they won't be coming back into heat until the Spring.
Next week looks like another wet one, so I hope to have most of the kennel work completed.
The forecast for the last week of October is is for temperature highs in the single digits with the possibility of snow flurries.
More ideal for running.
Until next week.......

The Above photos were taken this morning.
Within one hour, we went from mist to a beautiful sunny experience.
Last week the weather here didn't co-operate to start running the dogs.
This week was mostly rainy, with snow flurries on Thursday and then temperatures in the 20's Friday & Saturday.
The snow flurries were the earliest, we have seen here almost a month earlier.
Even though the training didn't start last week, all the preparations readying for running has been completed with anticipation for starting.
Until next week........

"Even A Gloomy Week Can Have Its Bright Spots Here In The Northern Forest!"

It has been a rainy, dull and damp week here!
It is a difficult time to stay motivated due to the weather and an increase in the cases of Covid 19.
More restrictions are now in place here in Quebec making things more difficult to get help here for this season.
The dogs are also feeling the upset and are restless with the need to run.
Hopefully, there will be a break in the weather and will be able to start running the dogs for their stake and mine.
Until next week........
