The hamburgers were good!!!
Did go to dinner at Melanie’s and Patrick’s and had St. Hubert chicken – that’s a very food chain up here and we had only tried it one other time but it was good (not quite as good as Popeye’s though……….)
We did learn that the race in Pont Rouge was likely to be cancelled but trained on Friday just in case – tried the 3rdyearling in lead with his grandfather and things would have gone really well except we had a girl right behind him that’s in heat and that made it really difficult for Granite to concentrate!!!- he was all over the place at times but really charged hard the rest of the time – the trail was perfect and we really enjoyed what could be our last run!
Saturday Randy asked Claude to try 4 of our yearlings in a team and so he did – and he is taking them – they will be very good dogs for him and 3 of them already lead – Claude has been so good to us over The hamburgers were good!!!

And then Emiy Therrrien came and bought Tyler (she has had litters with hime and they turned out great----so now we are down to only 12 dogs!!! Sure makes dropping them go faster!!
We had another lovely surprise when Hermel (Claude’s dog trainer) asked us to dinner – we thought we would be going to his apartment to eat but he took us to a great restaurant not far from here that we had not been to before –he had escargot and oysters on the half shell for dinner! Me, onion soup which was delicious and Randy a burger! It was very kind of him to spend an evening with us and we talked about a lot of shared memories especially our first meeting – we had just raced one day of Claude’s race (it turned to slush after I ran the 6 dog) and were having lunch in the restaurant and speaking English (which back then it was pretty uncommon up here) and Hermel came to speak to us in English and Randy asked him if there were someplace to train nearby, and that’s when we got invited to come and stay at the Bellerive’s!!!!
Tonite a goodbye supper with the family and then leave mid-morning tomorrow to avoid the horrible traffic going through Montreal!!! Should be home by Tuesday nite if all goes well so until then “Au revoir”!!!!!! the last 16 years it’s the least we could do…..
