"I can't tell you again how much I enjoyed myself on Saturday - one of the top 5 things I've ever done in my life. Thanks again to you, Blake, Chad & Jody, and especially, your wonderful dogs."

"Melissa, the twins, and I all had such a wonderful time with you and Blake last weekend! It was such a remarkable experience--so joyful and amazing and funny (we still talk about Millacs' contagious energy as we were getting ready to go). The sledding itself was great--but just spending time with the dogs was the real joy for me. They were so patient with all the hugs we gave them."

"We loved our few hours on the dog sled, and I'd have to say, it was the highlight of my trip, and that's saying something."

- Clare, Australia

"The kids loved the whole experience. They adored the dogs, enjoyed driving and taking care of them. At school, several are doing speeches about sled dogs and their experience. They would like to make dogsledding an annual event."

"I just wanted to take a minute to say how much [fun] Jeremiah and I both had at the Positive Energy/Mentor Duluth outing. The weather was perfect and the group size was just right. Jeremiah fell in love one of the dogs. Vesper had one blue eye and one brown, he thought that was cool.

Learning what they eat and what they were bred for was interesting, but the dog sled ride was the best. Eight dogs pulled the two of us approximately 10-15 mph and that was cool and brisk. They had the biggest horse I have ever seen pulling the sleigh. Blake and Steph were very approachable and answered our many questions. Thank you for the opportunity to enjoy the outdoors in this manner."

Dear Blake and Stephanie,
We had such a fun time with you and the dogs. You really have such a wonderful place there. All the dogs were so nice and well trained. [I could tell with love!] We are looking forward to seeing you again next winter and bringing some friends.

- Julie, Steve, James and Adam, Minnesota
