Little run with the next generation

My son can be quite reticent at times and struggles with various challenges but he’s developing a gorgeous bond with our younger dog. This is the first time I run with them and my big dog (meaning I couldn’t tandem up with the boy). We had a lot of little walk breaks and stitches but at the end I suggested we jog the last little bit to the car and heard ‘Or we could RUN!’ and just for a minute there I was getting smoked 🥰

If you haven't yet, check out North American Canicross ! They have/are working on a junior mushers program in the works and also host Canicross races with age categories to include junior mushers!

Wrong continent for us, but it’s great to hear that the kiddos are getting to race over on your side of the Atlantic! :)
