Saturday was a beautiful day and the humans had some errands they needed to do in Asheville. Since most of the roads to our favorite trails are still snow covered and closed, we are good with that because we get to go to some great trails in the Asheville City Parks. What we did not expect to see was a professional sled dog practicing for upcoming races. Brace yourself for the raw power of a sled dog. Ready?
Check out the rippling muscles and awesome strength as he slams into his harness.
We know, it is a breathtaking sight.
Just remember, this is a professional.
P.S. – All kidding aside, this little guy looked like he was having the time of his life and his humans were enjoying the beautiful day.

Wings of Doom
December 12, 2024
A simple nightly routine with my dogs led me to face the wings of doom, a hideous creature that lurks in the shadows of my yard.

His books pay for our food!
He’s a cutie… and such power! =P
I’ve had the giggle of the week at your post today. What an absolutely adorable sight! My heart is so touched by the abilities, varieties, antics and unique personalities in the dog world. Thank you for sharing this today. What fun!

Ha. I tried to talk Dad into letting me do that with him. Bottom line, he didn’t trust me!
Interesting. Maybe that dog is bigger than he looks in the picture.
The raw power & form of that dog is inspiring. Hopefully The Herd absorbed some of it!!!!
Just loved this blog. I really enjoy the Hudad’s humor.

I thought of Pip, too! If he could race Bunny, then he could probably give The Herd a run for their sled dog money, too!
Too funny! See, every dog secretly dreams of being a Sibe!
Mom keeps threatening to get one of those little Cracker Dogs, uh, Yorkies, to keep us on our toes! Given what I’ve seen of them, I’m thinking it is only the fact that their legs are 2 inches long and they’d get stuck in the snow that has kept them out of the Iditarod! 😉

BOL now that is funny…. does look like he was having a great time.
That little guy must be trying to emulate Pip. What fun he was having!!!
Not nice not to share a pic of The Herd today:(

Looks like the little guy was fully engaged and happy! We in Alaska are preparing for the real deal… the Iditarod will get underway the first weekend of March! I always enjoy watching the dogs and the action in downtown Anchorage at the ceremonial start of the race. Will be there this year, camera in hand!
Hoo hoo! Did the little guy’s paws ever touch ground?!
We’ll have to suggest that sport our friend Pip. He does look happy!
wooo what a cool little dude he is. Lil dog with big ambitions, way to go tiny.
awwee…next to sibes and gsd crackers, yorkies are like my favorite small doggies! and who knew they can sled? woo!
Ha ha ha! That’s great! What a strong little guy.
Thanks for sharing.
Drools and licks,
Minnie and Mack
He must be really strong!
BOL, that’s adorable. A used to try to get me to pull her along on her skateboard, but I’m not really a sled dog, hehee.
Woofs,
