Here are a few clips from our walk a couple days ago. Normally I pull the sled and let the dogs run loose nearby, but this time I decided it was time to put some of that excess energy to use. The result was fun for Elizabeth, less work for me, and some good exercise for Flora. I think she has the makings of a sled dog! Elizabeth seemed to really enjoy the ride, especially since Flora pulls a bit faster than I do. 🙂
For those of you who are wondering about the safety of this experiment: Flora had pulled a sled or wagon a handful of times before, so I knew in advance how she usually responded, and I knew that she would stop on command. Plus Elizabeth’s down-filled snow suit provides padding as well as warmth in case of an upset, so the chances of injury were extremely minimal.
