Lead Dog

Queen Natasha the Evil, of course, has long been the leader of The Herd. And when we cart or sled, she is our regular lead dog. Since she is 10, however, we have also been working Cheoah as the lead dog for carting and sledding (though QNTE has no intention of giving up leader of home life). Based on some pictures from our hike today, though, some pup is trying to be the upcoming lead dog.

The Herd out for our typical hiking time, though some youngster appears to want the lead position.

lack of confidence

The Little Prince, Typhoon, sure doesn’t lack confidence.

    I laughed out loud because we call Küster the Little Prince, too! They have such confidence, those pups!

    Typhoon the little prince sure shows promise in taking the lead one day. Not too soon though. Happy hiking to the Herd!

    Why are there no pictures of the dogs sledding or carting?

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.
