"Two Mouse Run or Hunting With the Pack"

Have you read the book called "Winterdance" by Gary Poulson!?  He has a hilarious description of training in the autumn and encountering skunks with his team...:!  A "battle" ensues and his dogs come away the worse.....smelling like....well, a rotten skunk!  Tonight we went for a really good run with the Kicksled with Phoebe and Luke in front - about 6.5km in total in the dark.  We turned back after a snack of "fat sausage" from Kjøttnils.  Energy restored we headed homewards - when we were on the way, Phoebe suddenly JUMPED into the deep powder snow on the side of the trail....!  What!?  A small black, scurrying mouse! She caught it - killed it - and in the confusion, Luke had the front part chewed off and down his throat!  Phoebe chewed up the rest.....Back on the trail, we were back at the car in no time, when Phoebe AGAIN pulled off to the side....ANOTHER MOUSE! This time, Luke had his bit, but Phoebe just sniffed it....licked it....and decided to ROLL ON IT!..... Smelly camouflage...?! Thank god it was not a two skunk-run, only a two MOUSE-run! Happy Trails!
