One More Month of 'Vacation'

Just one more month of "summer vacation" and the dogs at SP Kennel will be back in harness. Interior Alaska has been a mixed bag as far as weather conditions the last few weeks.
It was even possible to train a dog team during a few chilly, rainy days last week -- mushing from puddle to puddle. However, yesterday the temperatures were back at 70 + degrees Fahrenheit and sunny.
A perfect afternoon for a swim. Right, Mac?! (Photo on Left.)

One of our favorite spots in Two Rivers is a beaver pond just a few miles down the trail from the kennel. There is a large beaver dam holding back 4 feet of water. The pond that is created by the beavers is a great place to swim… if you want to, that is!

It is possible to tippy-toe across the dam -- if you aren't knocked down and pushed out of the way by enthusiastic sled dogs! It seems Aliy is always trying to teach the dogs manners. She didn't come home soaking wet, so I guess it worked.
