Jake & Elwood

Jake & Elwood

Jake & Elwood are at it again; becoming sled dogs for a day.  They only get a chance to pull a sled once a year, but you’d think they had been trained pulling a sled every day.  As the dogs are being hooked up and the musher is preparing the sled to go, the dogs are all barking and playing around like it was a big holiday.  Then, all of the sudden as the musher calls out to the lead dog and the dogs all start to pull, they go quiet.  It’s like flipping a switch; pretty cool.  Then, they’re happy.  Huskies love to run; particularly in the snow.  Although they don’t get to be sled dogs often, Jake and Elwood run several miles almost every day.  It’s the highlight of their day.
