My last long pull before GREENLAND! 4 hours done and dusted. I have some shorter pulls over the next week and then I’ll be in Greenland and with a REAL sled and skis ⛷️ ICYMI I’ll be crossing Greenland with Polar Explorers in just a couple weeks 🫢 it’s a 25+ day expedition that crosses the ice cap from west to east 🇬🇱

SHE’S FLYING (at a speed of 2 mph) As I type this, the Greenland expedition is TWO WEEKS AWAY. How in the world did this happen. One dog day closer!!

Meet my wolf pack! Fred, Pretty Girl, Bandit & (the newly named) Paul Anka. I’ve been pulling my tires in their neighborhood 2-4 times a week for the past 192 days. Pretty Girl and Fred began recognizing me and would trot with me through their neighborhood (which lasts a few blocks). Now we’re at the point that Pretty Girl joins for the whole time—She’ll even follow me out of her territory, which can actually cause some problems if we run into other street dogs. Fred usually joins for a lap and then goes to take a nap and come back again for the home stretch 💙 Bandit and Paul Anka (doesn’t he/she look just like the dog from Gilmore Girls?!) live on the next street over, where I don’t even pull my tire, but I guess the word is spreading 😆 After I’ve put my tires away, we usually hang out in the street for a bit with lots of love and pats before I have to say goodbye until the next training session. These are street dogs, taken care of by the community and @oxsa.nepal who make sure they have regular meals and water available.
