Dog Sledding without the sled





Jameson went on his first dog sled ride without the sled at fifteen months, at the christmas tree farm. At first we weren't going to do it b/c we didn't have the cash but I did everything I could to get it and we came up with it. I wasn't going to let the lack of cash let this experience pass us by. Daddy was terrified to let Jameson go but bucked up and handed him over to me in the cart. I admit it was dangerous especially since we weren't strap in or anything.I was just holding on to him with my arms and pressing my feet against the rails as hard as I could. I am already sore. The ride was bumpy and fast! I was amazed at the strength and speed of the dogs.

Meet the dogs, they were so sweet, friendly and sensitive but could maybe harm you. They reminded me a lot of Skye. Jameson wasn't a bit afraid of them.

Lining up the team. The dogs were leaping and yelping they just couldn't wait to get started.

Get ready get set GO!


I held on tight to my son and enjoyed every second. The ride felt very free knowing that we were pulled by only an animal and one of Jameson and I's favorite. I thought maybe he would cry but he didn't cry at all, he just kept saying good dog after everytime the driver would say it.

Another favorite animal.
