Hooking up turned out to be an adventure in itself. We decided it would work best if Team Nookies lead the way which meant they had to be hooked up first a ways down the trail. Trask was so excited to see his classmates, he wrapped both Koyuk and himself around the tree the sled was anchored to while I helped Wendy harness and arrange Team Daching.
Who knew harnesses meant for northern breeds would fit and stay on Dachshunds? As long as they kept a taught tug, their little legs didn't trip over the leg loops.
Team Nookies untangled and we were off...
and Team Daching in hot pursuit...
of varmints.
rarely seen snowshoe Dachbunny...
Team Daching really moved.
They were so fast...
they spooked up another Snowshoe Dachbunny.
Who says Dachshunds can't mush for over 3 miles on sticky spring snow and flush out wildlife to boot?
