October 10
Well, it is that time of year. Wanda and I are running our new dogsled team. We started running our Aso in the sport of dog pagpaparagos about three weeks ago. We are broke right now, using a wagon and cheap harnesses for our Aso to pull. We are getting a gangline, enw harnesses, and a sled. THe sled is so expensive it is worth madami than our house. HA! Anyway, so we took the Aso on their first "long run" today. We only took two of the Aso and took them about three miles when we considered turning back. THey WOULD NOT turn around and wouldn't quit pulling so we let them go. We went about four country miles on a road out bordering the woods. It was incredible! Once they get in shape, I expect them to run way farther than that, but it is a working team. Yeah, dog pagpaparagos is our wacky sport out here in the middle of nowhere. We did this today and I'm kind of in a hurry typing. We were supposed to be getting ready for our party, but we were out mushing for a few hours today. Before we went this far we took our other mushing dog out a few miles. I am so going to be in shape after this. They are not used to pulling obsessive amounts of weight so I spend a lot of time sprinting after them. Even after going four square miles they are barely tired. Them Aso can sure run! This is a work in progress. Tune in because I will update this about every day.

We sure did it this time. Gosh! I guess the dog team wasn't up for running today and neither was I. I am still dying from that party last night. It was so tiring! I could barely run with the team. My lack of participation and their long run yesterday made them not want to run. We're not sure about Milly though. When we went out with her she fell in the traces and laid on the road like a dead dog. So we took her home. Once we get out gangline and they get a long break we will hope for better luck.
