MORE 5-dog rig run *pics*

[oc_spirit]

One of the people that came to watch the 5-dog rig run just sent me the 4 pics she took. I thought I would share them with you guys...enjoy!

Waiting to get hitched - from L to R: Kena, Mochi Tiku, Ronan and Oceano with Ben (human)

Hooking Up! My dad holding Tiku and Ronan, me hitching OC, Ben making sure to keep an eye on the snub line and a firm foot on the brake, and some curious passer-bys watching to see whats going on

Coming back from the run -- AFTER their adventure in the creek LOL

Tired puppies!!! I gotta mention too, I LOVE my beast of a rig! LOL

That looks like so much fun. Does that thing have brakes?

That looks like loads of fun! Your dogs are so gorgeous--but aren't all the Huskies? Do you have leaders there? I can't really tell from the pics.

Julie, hehe yup! no way would I want to even attempt controling 6 wild and crazy (but loveable! hehe) huskies without brakes! Heck even one or two is nuts enough which is why I will never rollerblade with a Husky. The lack of brakes scares me.

In the second last picture, you can ctually see Ben's left foot resting on a horizontal bar, thats the brake. It pushes a piece of tire rubber on to each wheel. It cant hold 6 dogs, but it can slow them down somewhat LOL

Noludoru, with that set up, Ronan and Tiku are the leaders but next time we run we are going to try Ronan and Kena (the two red dogs) because of a couple little incidents we had with Tiku running lead.

Megan, good luck on getting to go out tonight
