SHT Day 1 - 12 Miles
Beavers and mud and hornets, oh my!
Made it to camp in one piece. Stepped in a knee deep mud puddle 10 minutes in. Marci has a small harness rub (she’ll be okay). Avoided large hornets nest.
Getting the bad juju out now I guess.

We’re going hiking!
Marci and TJ will be hiking the Superior Hiking Trail over the next month in honor of Marci’s son, Jake.
We’ll try to post updates as we go, but may have our phone off and/or a lack of cell service.
Wish us luck, and we’ll see you when we get back!

Dog update, kept short for here. Check IG or FB for full post.
Marci has DCM. She is non symptomatic and we will continue to run her, with our vets advice. She will not be allowed to race. We are hopeful she can help train up new leaders and still enjoy rec runs.
Feel free to ask questions.

Getting back to the new ‘normal’ without Jake. I’m lucky it’s summer, as I don’t know what I’ll do without my best leader come fall.
It’s been over a month and yet it feels like just yesterday Jake was prancing around the yard.

I wanted to update here that Jake passed suddenly and unexpectedly on Friday. I am devastated and beyond any words. Trying to shrink down his life to a limited character count is just insurmountable right now. I have a long winded post on my personal page (TJ Squires) for those who want.

I don’t have favorite dogs. But if I did, Cast would be up there.
Cast has been with us a little over a year now. He was meant to be here 🖤

The dogs got an ‘A+’ for their unplanned fire drill today. A brush fire right across the street got out of hand, only a few hundred feet from the dog yard.
While the fire stayed across the road, the smoke got bad so I evacuated the dogs.
We are all safe, and the fire has been put out.

Ezio is on a diet. Ezio is a bit of an Orbzio. No more licking the food buckets clean. No more dad snacks. Ezio says he needs a representative to help fight this atrocious case.

Lake Minnetonka Klondike Dog Derby is retiring their race. I am so sad, to say the least, but greatly respect their decision to respect the time and money of their volunteers, sponsors, and community.
Photos from their Facebook group, as I don’t see an account I can share directly here.
