To stay close to the gang line, pulling straight ahead for maximum contribution... Rather than being distracted by the nearest bush, tree, hole, etc., and jumping sideways to check it out... If you read his team card you will see he is described as having "a mild case of attention deficit disorder that only makes him more adorable"... More adorable at the kennel, perhaps, but not on a race when every ounce of focused, straight ahead energy is vital!Macgellanhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05414475206084334795noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2023068524242748614.post-8512084134754607782013-02-06T04:06:38.288-09:002013-02-06T04:06:38.288-09:00Amidst all the other details, why do you use a nec...Amidst all the other details, why do you use a neckline for Willie?<br /><br />Congrats and good luck.

It's a lot easier than me looking at their pictures and trying to figure out who is who. I liked the video in the truck. <br /><br />You need to know that SPK fans love to hear about anything related to SPK. Each person has brought something different to the blog, you included. You bring a fresh perspective. What I am saying is, you are greatly appreciated. So please, keep posting, even if you think it is a little thing.

For Allen to be so tuned into his team, at every stage of the race still impresses me, but doesn't surprise me.<br /><br />When I had my lesson up on the sled, Aliy stopped at some point to give two dogs a break because they were hot. Two immediately dove into the snow bank to cool off.<br /><br />I asked how she knew and she said because when Cutter looked back his lips were curled and she could see his gums and a canine tooth. That was it - that was all she needed to know where things stood.
