Things have been going very well out here in Bend. We had a small Thanksgiving celebration at the Kennel, Rachael cooked a wonderful turkey and the fellowship during the meal was amazing. Life at the kennel has been some what like the movie Groundhog Day. Everyday starts out the same, and the routine is getting very mundane. Rosie and I have finally become pretty good friends, so I’m very grateful for that. I couldn’t imagine spending an entire winter with someone that would only have the bare minimum of conversation with me. I’m slowly starting to get very attached to the dogs and it’s making me a little nervous about wanting to bring all my favorite dogs’ home with me. The training of the dogs is extremely amazing to me. I’m amazed on how quickly the dogs recover from the training runs, after about 20 mins the dogs are ready to go again.
The big topics around the kennel are when the snow is coming. We would slowly gain a good base of about 20 inches or so at the Mountain and a few days later that same base would melt back down to 8 inches. So we keep training the dogs and pray for snow.
