Low key Monday

Back at Bellerive's - cooler day than we thought was predicted - fed dogs and us - Randy spent at least an hour in the dog barn with Hermel and Claude treating feat that had fissures from the race last weekend.  Randy asked about Melanie's knee (she fell, tipped over, got the sled upright, dragged on her knees, one knee at a time cause a curve was coming and then standing up finally- we heard this morning from Claude that she had gone to the hospital today because she couldn't bend her knee....) and didn't really get a good "diagnostic" answer so we have left a message on her phone to call when she feels good enough - Claude said he didn't think she would race this weekend at Valcartier.  It was a rough fast trail on Sun morn - Angie Carter was in 1st on Sat and she fell cause her dogs got over the neck lines and she thought last nite that she had broken her arm or wrist!!!  I hate to say I am glad I didn't think I needed to go race our 6 dog team!!

We had the usual very bumpy ride home last nite - once you get off the expressway in Montmagny it gets really rough going through the Appalachian Mountains - lots of frost heaves!!!!  enough to jar the teeth right out of your head!!! When we open the trailer door we always expect an disaster of displaced things but nothing unexpected!!! so good for us

We went into the lodge at Daaquam to buy me a red coat with fur ruff that I have wanted for forever with all the Daaquam patches on it and they only had XL and XXL - so Randy saved $265 (it was going to be my Mother's Day present....)

Went out to feed tonite and it was snowing great big flakes!!! makes you thing it's Christmas time!!
Another dog sick, one recovering and one totally recovered - we are trying to quarantine but it gets tricky letting them off the truck in order and keeping them separated  - thank goodness we had some medicine to treat them already on board!

no talk today of grooming the training trail here or actually training so we will see tomorrow - almost out of milk so to the store tomorrow again!!
