I thought it was going to be easier than this sledding to camp with a large dog. Turns out I'm the lead dog and my master is tagging along behind so I'd say she has me pretty well trained. I've had Bernese Mtn. dogs in the past that would pull a sled but the collie never would. On top of that she started getting arthritis 2 years ago and then my wife ran her over so she can barely make it the 1.5 miles down the lake to camp let alone drag something. Friend of mine took the pic from at least 1/2 mile away so that's why it's pixelated.
BTW for the guys bragging about mowing lawns and open water, there's still 18" if ice so it's going to be a while still. On the other hand, I did see little grasshoppers on the gravel beach so spring is coming.
