My teen boys and I loved our dog-sledding outing. It was just so--well, doggy. The dogs yawned and yapped and rolled in the snow, and were incredibly keen to pull their sleds.
Nearly 100 dogs awaited when we arrived in the morning, all harnessed to their sleds, six dogs to each sled.
While we listened to a 20-minute introduction, every so often, a few of the dogs would howl with impatience. And the instant our instructor stopped speaking and moved toward the sleds, every one of the dogs was up'n'at'em and hollering wildly, thrilled to finally be on their way.
