Downhill

Several weeks ago, the Op Pack asked, “When do we get to see the trek back down” (as opposed to all of our hikes uphill or on flat ground)?  We answered in this post that, “Our humans say our pulling is very helpful up the hill, but pulling downhill is not as helpful.  They require all of their concentration to keep from creating blooper videos on the downhill trek, so we do not film going down hill.”

(By the way, we loved Kat’s answer, “We like to use the tactic where we hardly pull at all going uphill and then try to run at top speed going downhill. We do it all in the name of exercise for the humans.”  And is this not the greatest picture of Kat?)

Well, as any good Siberian knows, you tell us something can not – or should not – be done and we, of course, have to do it.  So we filmed this on April 4.  Unfortunately, that Walking Wednesday video was preempted by our great spring snowfall, so we held the video until today.  So enjoy our downhill trek:

    That’s a great video! I can’t believe your human can film walking 3 huskies downhill when my mom can’t even film one husky pulling her around! 🙂

    I check out your website every night when I get to work. I love your dogs! I have 2 siberians myself…Michelo & Nohmee. For some reason I haven’t been able to see the last couple of videos.

    Four paws > Bipeds any day, anytime, anywhere. I also think it would be more fun if woo raced down the hill! But of course, slow humans won’t be able to keep up.

    Thanks for showing us that – they actually seemed to do quite well. Mom says she would have been quite bruised and scraped as TD and Phantom would have dragged her all the way down.

    And yes, that is an awesome pic of Kat – Kat is TD’s girl friend:-)

    When we walk downhill with our mom, she always says that really funny “Nopullnopullnopull!” thing. Any idea what that means?
    Great video!
    Ha roo roo roo!
    Play bows,

    PS: That is the most stunning picture of Kat EVER!!!

    You seemed so well behaved. Are you sure that you are Sibes?

    Maybe some off-road roller blades with huge brakes are in order. I’d sprain an ankle trying to keep up 🙂
