Best Day Here, yet

Satuday, June 18, 2011

We've had 2 main tour items we wanted to do since we've been here, and we did them both today. Its Our one day off together each week.

Husky Homestead
www.huskyhomestead.com

Owned by 4 time winner of the Iditarod, Jeff King, this is where he trains his huskies.
With his wife, 3 daughters, and friends, they have over 30 dogs. The tour included some excellent
infomation on raising the dogs, excercising them, feeding, training them on the sled, and also what the musher does during a race. We found out, the one thing these dogs love to do is RUN
As soon as we step off the van, there are 3 girls holding 6 puppies. Ginger gets the first., gets a new puppy. With eyes barely open, she adores it, cuddles it, it suckles on he neck.

                                     The Carousel, work out, home..wow, they love running this

                                                              The excercise wheel

                                                 Hey, we found something good to chew on

                                                       They love the Lead Dogs

                                                                      An old dog sled

 A modern, custom design, by Jeff King, dog sled. Light weight aluminum, special plastic runners

                                                      Just some of Jeff's trophies

We bought Jeff's book: Cold Hands, Warm Hearts.  It is loaded with photos, and beautiful artwork by his artist wife.
