Stop Right There

No, this is not a piece of medieval armament. It is my new snow hook. It has a line that hooks into the tug line for the dogs. When I need to hitch or untangle, I set the snow hook into the snow and let the dogs lean into the taut line anchored by the hook. Once I'm ready to go, I pull the hook and off we go. Tried it out today and I can now get the team organized in seconds with a whole lot less nagging.
