Sixteen Dog Team

   I was reminiscing the other day and came upon some pictures of my first team. A four dog team. Gradually my team has grown bigger, but I always thought 12 was the limit to safely run down my driveway...until this spring. I hate to leave dogs behind and in order to run all the puppies-yearlings and adults, I had to start running a slightly bigger team - first 14 and then 16. What is pretty awesome is that many of these dogs I hope to take to the Iditarod in a few years...Could a few of these yapping puppies end up leading me into Nome? I hope so and can't wait to find out!
