Today we had our first full team run of the season! The team sans Haru has had a couple runs together this month, but now that Haru was back from his stay in New Hampshire and recovered from his neuter he was finally ready to rejoin the team. I had a few kinks to work out during hook up. Natsu was in lead since I like to rotate leaders, but being the goober he is he kept spinning around and tangling his neckline with Ame. Chise wasn't used to having a partner and still rather new to mushing being a yearling, and kept pushing into Uta and moving to his side of the gangline. Haru being the crazy boy he is kept throwing his paws up and out to tangle his legs into the harness several times in a row. Yes, it felt as chaotic as it sounds. I kept my pace steady and consistent. Fixing Natsu, hooking up another dog. Fixing Chise, hooking up another dog. I finally got Haru harnessed, Chise on her side of the gangline, and Natsu facing forward. The hookup chaos aside, it was a wonderful run. The dogs were fast and so excited to be out. I kept it at a short 2.1 mile run as the sun was out and it was starting to feel a bit warm, but despite the run being short I still had some happy dogs.
