Putting the harnesses on all of them was already an accomplishment

and the harness staying on was a miracle

Gotta wait for those 3am zoomies!

Also, I'd much rather use a sled that takes longer (zoomies, laser, toy, there are ways!), but that the animals pulling it not only stop to poop, but bury it too, rather than going-on-the-go and having it spray all over the sled users.. ๐Ÿ˜‚

Imagine trying to follow the sled tracks that had the 3am zoomies. Better hope there wasn't a village in the way.

Sled dogs don't stop to poop, but they also don't spray their poop all over the sled driver.

You not liking the thought of it, doesn't mean it doesn't happen

Since the poop is expelled at full speed, it will likely be scattered in various directions, and possibly even reach other sled dogs and the musher who must navigate through the messy ordeal.
Despite the smelly mess, it's just another challenge that can be added to the other challenges that sled dog teams must overcome, on top of all the other glorious adventures in the frozen wilderness.
Fortunately, mushers wear goggles or other protective gear to avoid any flying debris from reaching their eyes.

Why not both? Cat running away and dog chasing so you get extra speed.

[-] Viking_Hippie@lemmy.world 9 points 2 years ago

Ever tried to make a cat run in a straight line? There's a reason why "herding cats" is analogous to an impossible task..

[-] TrickDacy@lemmy.world 4 points 2 years ago

Cats have an uncanny ability to know what you want and a strongly evolved urge to do precisely the opposite

What's that blueberry pie doing over there?

[-] FurtiveFugitive@lemm.ee 7 points 2 years ago* (last edited 2 years ago)

I'd be more concerned with the eyeball.

Nah, I'm good. I'll just stay home.

I think in this case you're going to have to give in and be a dog.
