Red Shed Racing

I have some plans for the dogs this summer.  First I want to rotate each dog and take turns letting them ride in the car to the post office.  Some of them have been doing this regularly but I thought it only fair to give them all the opportunity to live the "pet-dog" life letting their heads hang out the back window while they take in the smells of the neighborhood and scan the horizon for anything and everything to bark like crazy at!  So far I have taken CatchMe, Rabbit, Pickle, Monster, Blue and Indigo!  They all did really well!

I also want to run them all summer with the training cart.  This takes a bit of finesse as they still have their winter coats on.  I will bathe them all this week to help their coats blow out.  Then I will start by only running them on the cooler days and work slowly into the warmer temps.  They can get overheated if you dont slowly allow them to work up a tollerance to the heat - just like humans!  Of course extra water, some electrolytes and lots of breaks on the trail will be part of the routine too.  I just want to make sure they get every chance to get out there because our winters have ben so marginal the last few years with the lack of snow etc...

Also I am going back out to hit the markets to raise money for the team selling our swag.  I really enjoyed this last summer and the dogs loved meeting all those people!
