Had fun in Ely. Reconnected with Outward Bound instructors and the sled dogs. Introduced our 6mo old BMD pup (now 68# but well behaved), Emmi to various new experiences including strange hotel rooms and people. She passed! Driving 4 1/2 hours though exceeds my tolerance threshold, however back home safely.
