Reading through Our Dogs and saw the notice about the Sled Dog Racing taking place at Aviemore this weekend.......................forecast says temperature on Sat 12-14C and Sunday 10-12C

Disappointing as it is, they switch to their wheeled vehicles.
My friend is rather sad that she is packing her rig whilst in a T shirt.

its very very mild up her at mo my.spring bulbs are all up
thats shame that huskey racers are not using sledges
its been mildist december in 70yr
i would love to have go at huskey racing it looks so much fun

Yes I know they use the wheeled rigs, Been to watch a few times as they have a meet in Thetford Forest which is not far away, I think they cut the distance for some races when it is so warm to protect the dogs, Just hope it doesn't end up as mud-racing.
Main memory is the NOISE, a hyped up team of 6 or 8 dogs on the start line (and quick release tethered to a tree or a land rover) and all of them screaming full blast with excitement !!!

Big problem is lack of training  because of such high temps. Getting up earlier and earlier isn't working

Yes, these current temperatures are CRAZY.   I felt so hot yesterday that I changed into a short sleeved T.   In mid-December???   And we got a cut on the front yesterday too.   I daren't touch the back even if it needs it - if I cut it short(er) it's going to turn into a mud-patch.  It's not far off now.

The good news is our central heating hasn't been on much so our gas bill should be down, so far.   Much as I have to put it on for a bit, to get rid of the all-pervading damp down here!!

husky racing sounds bit like obstical carriage driving round cones

do you now anyone in ayrshire that huskey races that i could go.along to watch practic??
