Sunday thru Tuesday

Saturday because it was too warm all of the people here for the training session only ended up doing about a 2 mile run – quite disappointing, but what can you do?!
We spent some time visiting around the fire pit and then came back home to feed our dogs and then went back over to Magnusson’s for the 6p dinner – what a potluck!!!!  Way good stuff to eat!!!  We did the easy and goes-like-hotcakes thing again, shrimp cocktail.  I didn’t even have room for meat, there were so many delicious salads and treats!!!!!  After dinner we had 2 people speak; Lloyd Gilbertson (about his start as a dog racer and more….) and JR or Jarod Armstrong form Ely, MN about using essential oils for dog behavior modification and treatment of injuries.  It was a very pleasant nite!
Sunday morning was too warm again and it was supposed to cool down after an early afternoon rain – so we helped clean up Magnusson’s “party clutter” and when they said they were going out to take down the trail markers from the trails they were supposed to run had it not been too warm.  So we got our 4 wheeler and followed them around a 5 and 8 mile trail system until……………it started raining, then harder and then harder till we were soaked and cold to the bone!!!!  Needless to say our trail looking was done for the day – cam home and dried out and didn’t see anyone for the rest of the day.  Jim had left Sunday morning so we were back to “status quo”.
Monday was cool enough to train and with rain predicted much of the week coming, we trained all 25 dogs – took us till 11am to do it but it was good we did because there certainly won’t be any training today!!!!  It’s pouring and 47 degrees with wind gusts up to 55 mph and flood warnings for the lakeshore!!!!  Think we will take another little ride to see some of those big waves!!!  Just hope it doesn’t blow the awning off the trailer!!!!!
