Henry the Happy Hound channels his inner TOGO! Mush, Henry! Mush!

[Lost River]

So the Minions were being obnoxious and fighting non stop.

Not so great weather and not enough to do inside leads them to constant bickering and picking on each other. Apparently some jackass wrote some law that said I can't just throw them outside until they stop it, and actually have to take care of them.. Whatever...


So I threw the little hell raisers in the old Land Cruiser along with the Happy Hound and we headed for the hills a short distance away.

Henry is always Happy, and he was all to eager to hit the trail. We stuck him in a harness, attached one of the kids sleds to it and.. Lets just say I need to work on my cardio!






Note to self: Bring helmets for the kids next time.

Henry was having a blast and the kids were screaming their heads off, laughing.




He was having as good a time as the girls, no doubt!



Only problem was when he smells a rabbit!



The girls learned to bail off pretty fast!

"Only problem was when he smells a rabbit!"

Grab "Winterdance" by Gary Paulson. It's his autobiographical account of deciding to run the Iditarod after running trap lines with dogs in Minnesota. His account of what happens when true sled dogs decide to chase skunks is hilarious. Plus which the whole book is a great story, well told.

Thanks for these posts. All of my photographic-type memories of my early childhood are from camping or hunting trips with my family. I don't even know where most of these things happened which is probably good. I'd probably be disappointed to see them now. You're giving your kids an upbringing that's way too rare.

My oldest kiddo just sent me this pic she took from her phone.
