  • Getting to know you

    So I thought about what I might say in my blog today.  Yes, Rich took Sascha out for a run today.  However, I didn’t film any of it nor did I even watch today’s run.  I know, that was bad of me.  But I thought about what is really going on deep down between Sascha and my […]

Today, I did tested […]

  • Hike! Gee! Haw! Mush!

    Rich has graciously said that I could guest host my own blog right here.  Welcome to my blog on urban mushing, or dog scootering. Back in July, we adopted a border colliehusky mix named Holly.  We rechristened her Sascha.  Over the last few months, she has warmed her way into our lives and our hearts.  […]
