The dogs are resting Ben and Rachel are not

Hi everyone. We had some colder temps. this morn. It was down to twenty six below. Still no more snow. The kids were off to school today. Ben has boxing lessons tonight. Rachel played volleyball after school. IT Will be tricky to fit everything in when the dog racing starts.
The dogs rested today and they needed it. We are increasing the meat in the diet. We got our second pallet of dog food. Another 45 bags. Leanne unloaded the pallet and put it into the U-haul trailer. Thanks to Dr. Tim Hunt for the help with the cost for dog food. He sells a commercial dog food called pursuit. He is based in Michigan. The food has proved to be of good quality. This observation is based on the race dogs health and performance. We have raised litters of pups with this food. Mother and pups do really well on it !
I think that it is important to know that it takes alot of people in the background to help Ben and Rachel get to the races and allow them to live the life with dogs like they do. We have had great support from family and the community of Whitehorse Yukon. The offers poured in last year as we got ready for the Arctic Winter Games in Yellowknife.http://www.arcticwintergames.org/. Most of the same sponsors last year are helping out again this year. There will be some local races here in Whitehorse to go to. These races are key to help prepare the teams for some of the bigger events.http://copperhaultwister.blogspot.com/ The copper haul twister is a good example of a race that is good to help prepare for some of the bigger races. It is well run and everyone seems to leave with something for their efforts.
Next training day will be on Weds. Ben and Rachel will be training after school. Then train again on the week-end.
