woohoo. first journal, no? xD haha, araktugage is the only one who'd read this. xD (mainly cuz she's the only one who knows me on deviant lawlzor.)

anyway. i just got back from DOGSLEDDING. yes, like "mush mush!" stuff. holy crap it was amazing. my mom and i went, and i got to help drive the dogs for the first half. not really, though. i just stood on the back of the sled with the guide and helped push the sled when the dogs looked backwards.

those dogs are so smart and beautiful. most of them were husky/greyhound mix, so the looked like huskies but were the size and shape of a greyhound. they were so pretty. x.x i'll have pictures... maybe. xP i'll probably be too lazy to get them from my mom.

anyway. they were really smart, too. at the beginning, they all started howling when they were ready to go. it was so cool. all these dogs were barking and howling, and they knew they were about to start running. half way, we stopped and went down to a lake. the dogs stayed up with the sled. at first they kind of looked at us, but by the time we were to the lake, they were howling again. the noise was unbelievable when we came back; they wanted to get going again.

there was one named yoda who i kind of took a liking to. when we were at the lake, i went over to him, and he instantly pressed his body against my leg for warmth. so i sat there and petted him a bunch, and he just stayed really close to me to keep warm. it was really cool.

so yeah. there's my canadian dogsledding experience. (and i need to find out how to link to your profile, arak, through the name. xD)
