She has infected them all with Iditarod fever...and even the weather is being Iditarod-y for her, with a storm and power cut last night! I know she'll be disappointed that her Quito has been dropped, but Indigo also knows that Ms Zirkle always puts the dogs first. We know that Quito did her best because, as Mr Moore would say, "there ain't no quit in Quito!"

This weekend will be great to see all the changes that will take place...I'm proud of the 2 of them making it through as the trail seems tough this year...I'm proud I work for the company that feeds their happy dogs those thousands of calories they need everyday!

I keep telling myself I will stop watching after the next update and then 3 hours later I'm exhausted, still watching, and feeling guilty for getting absolutely nothing else accomplished!<br /><br />Can't wait to hear more stories from the trail!<br /><br />If there was a people's choice award, I am certain SPK would earn it! I've read so many nice things about the kennel the past few days--I agree with all of them!Dustyllrnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2023068524242748614.post-75829387662191102342010-03-12T16:19:46.636-09:002010-03-12T16:19:46.636-09:00Aunty Em -- So glad you're addicted... and we&...Aunty Em -- So glad you're addicted... and we're happy to have helped round out your understanding, etc... Thanks also for whatever you send in... We appreciate all support!<br /><br />Lisa -- Actually, Homey got picked because he does not do as well in the cold as the other dogs... As you probably know, dogs have the ability to do "effective shivering" which warms them up without "disturbing" them too much... For some reason, Homey doesn't do this as well... So, that's why Aliy picked him as her bag dog... It's all part of being "dog first"...Macgellanhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05414475206084334795noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2023068524242748614.post-35193755646592058212010-03-12T16:03:43.113-09:002010-03-12T16:03:43.113-09:00Wait a minute - ChaCha and Bullet are her standout...Wait a minute - ChaCha and Bullet are her standout superstars but somehow Homey ends up with the privilege of being "bag dog"?!?<br /><br />I'm kidding - I'm sure Aliy chose wisely. Homey is probably bigger and throws off more heat, or maybe he doesn't snore. Bullet's timidness probably makes her less of a cuddle pup - and Cha being the consummate professional probably thinks it's her duty to be on the straw at the FRONT of the team.<br /><br />Thank you Bridgett and Mac for keeping us updated with these "on-the-trail" dispatches. They're awesome!

Thanks so much for sharing information along ...Wow! Thanks so much for sharing information along the way. I started paying attention to the Iditarod back in 2008, toward the end of the race when Lance Mackey won by pretending to sleep and then sneaking out ahead of Jeff King. After that, I started reading online to find out more about the Iditarod and came across your site.<br /><br />Last year I followed more closely, and was (and still am) captivated by the story of Happy.<br /><br />This year I discovered the GPS updates and am quickly becoming addicted to sitting and staring at the map, waiting for everyone's information to refresh, rather than working.<br /><br />More than anything, reading your blog has increased my appreciation of what's involved in this sport. As I can, I'm going back and reading posts from the past and, of course, watching all the videos.<br /><br />You have produced an entertaining AND educational blog, and for that I thank you.<br /><br />I have to get back to work now, but when I return to this site, I'll be sending a little something via PayPal to thank you for all you do. I know it's a drop in the bucket---won't even bootie the whole team once---but hopefully enough small donations will add up to something.Aunty Emnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2023068524242748614.post-33577743893472926632010-03-12T15:19:01.161-09:002010-03-12T15:19:01.161-09:00Just in case your browser is doing what mine did, ...Just in case your browser is doing what mine did, I was following the GPS - kept it up continually. The musher location totally did not match the leader board. I closed the GPS tracking, reopened it and discovered that King was in lead, not someone else as the tracker had shown. It was totally screwed up but is accurate now.beebeehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03378235125352406293noreply@blogger.com
