Victoria snapped this selfie at the start of the journey. Opal thinks she gets to be the co-pilot
Well with a new website and blog comes a steep learning curve. Today I am testing my new skills by sharing with you some of the excellent photos our own Victoria Forrester took while she and I were handling for Dan on the Copper Basin 300. This was very special to us, and we had a wonderful time visiting with dear friends, talking dog, and supporting Dan as he ran the Dew Claw dogs to a very impressive second place finish. For our friends who follow us on FB you may have seen these photos before. But they are such good photos they are well worth a second look. And will provide me with a fun opportunity to use my new skills. Enjoy ~

The team gets race morning breakfast in bed.
Bearing is excited to get going.
A lot of work goes into caring for the team, for instance booties on every foot for every run.
Feet are checked and dogs massaged at checkpoints. So basically Dan is working while they are resting.
Races are run around the clock, and that means dog care happens all the time at every checkpoint day or night.

Looking at these cuties crashed out in the back seat. Opal and Trout came along to keep us company while Dan was on the trail with the race dogs.
