Finka is certain that fly repellant (especially on her ears) is the devil’s work.

We’ve been taking advantage of the warm days by picking a few dogs at a time that look like they’d benefit from a “spa day”! This includes a bath, ear cleaning, checking their teeth, trimming nails if needed. The dogs seem to enjoy the chance to cool down and be loved on.
Today, Shasta (Lost Lake’s newest addition) discovered that there are worse things than a cool rinse and a soapy massage. The icing on the cake for her was finding some luscious grass to munch on while her conditioner sat!

Babadook and Hans Gruber’s guide to having fun as a sleddog in the summer…

Step 1: Play chase in the pond (until coat is thoroughly soaked)
Step 2: Frolic in dandelions (until dyed yellow)
Step 3: Spar in human’s lap (until water has been transferred from fur to human)

Fifi loves her post-nail trim belly rubs. 🥰 Look at that side eye when the scratches stop!

The transition into spring can be tough for dogs, but they have settled into their spring routine of digging up bones and kongs that were hidden last fall, splashing through their pond, and sunbathing!

Lost Lake has two available dogs left this spring. Olive who has been running with AJ the last two seasons and Sienna. Both lead. Sienna is a nice gee/haw leader and would be suited for shorter mid-distance, a rec team or recreational sprint. Olive would love to run for a junior musher, a rec team or just retire on someone’s couch. She is sweet as pie, and has been living inside. Both girls are spayed. Send us a message if interested. These girls do have rehoming fees.

Sienna is the left leader in the photo.

Yesterday we had to say goodbye to Hooty. She was perfectly healthy and fine, and then went into a steep decline over the last several days. After running lots of tests and even doing exploratory surgery to rule things out, it appears that she was dealing with some form of aggressive cancer that was attacking her lymph nodes and kidneys. We are all in shock.

Hooty was a really, really good girl. She was sweet and happy. Strong and personable. She will be greatly missed.

Here are some photos of her life. Rest in peace, Hoots.

Hello Everyone!

Ashley here. I wanted to do a season wrap up post. With Klondike being cancelled we only ran one race this year, the WolfTrack Classic Sled Dog Race.

Lost Lake had two teams entered this year. Haley and I each ran a team in the 6 dog class. I wasn’t sure how we’d do this year as our capacity for training was somewhat limited by busy schedules and little kids. It was stiff competition, but the A team knocked it out of the park and won the race by 6 seconds. Close shave! Mowgli led it again. He will be 9 this summer and June my other leader, will be 7. That pair has won the race 3 times. Mowgli is getting really close to retiring, and I think this was his last race. I’m really glad he was able to win it one more time.

Haley and her team pulled off an impressive 8th place for her 3rd ever sled race. With over 30+ teams competing, I couldn’t be happier with kennels success this season.

My team was:

Mowgli June
Clams Venom
Jedi Click

Haley’s team was:

Queso Owen
Sienna Hooty
Baba Jade

We had hoped to get more yearlings run this year, but with only having one race they’ll have to get their race experience next year.

I want to thank everyone that helped us this season. Thank you to my mom who helped with kids so I could train dogs and run the race. Thank you to Ryan’s parents Tom and Marsha who sponsored dogs and helped wrangle kids, and to his brother John who helped at the race. Thank you to Randy and Diane Schwanz who sponsored our kennel again this year! Randy also sponsored the race as well as volunteered for it. Thank you to everyone (Judee Saba Vesledahl, Sarah Iman, Sara Brummund, Marsha Miller, Deb Rodich - Rodie, Jodi Henry, Malia Maxwell, and Frank The Tank & Friends) who sponsored a dog this year! Thank you to the excellent vets at the Ely Vet Clinic for taking care our kennel’s health needs this year! Thank you to Haley Moog, who helped train and run the dogs this year. Thank you to my husband Ryan for your exemplary handling skills this season and for helping to train teams. Thank you to the VCC students for showing up and volunteering for the race! Thank you to everyone who helps get races on the ground and running! Thank you to the photographers that have shared photos of the dogs at the race with us. It takes a whole community of people to make things like this happen, and I appreciate you all.

Lastly, and most important, thank you to the dogs who ran their hearts out this season.

I tried to put names in the descriptions for photos, but if I missed you, tag yourself!
