random sledge dog of the month

Continuing the regular and rather haphazard ooh, sledge dog pic! posting schedule, here are the pups, Balto (white) and Hidalgo (dark).

It looks like innocent tussling, but damn these pups went at it like wolves sometimes! Especially when they got older.

They took a piece of me too, on more than one occasion!

May is simply the worst month of the year in Greenland. Everything melts. And I mean everything!

So… put your coffee down, finish whatever it is you’re eating, and brace yourself for the next image – no photo, I wouldn’t do that to you!

Imagine the dogs have been doing their business all winter long. And everything they did froze instantly. With each layer of snow it disappeared – instantly. And everyone forgot about it.

Until the month of May when everything came back with a vengeance!

Added to which, even in an area with roughly ten days of rain each year, there was plenty of meltwater, and that water carried everything everywhere.

Yep, you’ve got it now, haven’t you?

So, spare a thought for this little chap. It’s really not his fault.

It’s official, it’s a regular feature. Of course, I might end up with more than one random sledge dog per month. We’ll see. 😉

And … Balto waves to the camera!
