FALL IS HERE

COOLER MORNINGS

         

L'automne est là

Fall is here, this is for sure now.

Leaves are yellow and started to fall of the trees.

This afternoon I went Cranberry picking, see photos below.

Now the temperatures are about 50f during the day and around 35 to 40f in the morning.
Soon we will start to go 6 miles on training runs.
  L'automne est là et c'est pour sure !

Les feuilles sont bien jaunes et on déjà commencées a tomber des arbres.

Cet après midi je suis aller ramasser des Airelles sur la piste. Photos ci dessous.

Les températures sont de 10/12°c la journée et +5°c ou +7°c la matin. Bientôt nous commencerons a faire 9km avec les chiens.

65 Dogs

65 dogs on training

         

65 chiens à l'entraînement.

I counted (or to be honest the computer did for me) and we are training 65 dogs right now.

We are doing teams of 12 to 14 dogs and are going only 4 miles.

26 of those dogs are yearlings (born summer 2006).
 
J'ai compté (ou plus l'ordinateur a compter pour moi) et nous entraînons en ce moment 65 chiens.

Nous faisons des attelages de 12 à 14 chiens pour le moment et ne faisons que 7km.

26 chiens sont des jeunes de un peu plus d'un an (nés été 2006).
