I don't want to alarm anyone There is a supply chain shortage of dog names. Just saw a kennel with a dog named Woodstove. If you're at a point where you're just naming dogs after things in your cabin, reach out for help. My team of people can assist in providing a list.

Coming from Ireland, corgis are technically eligible to run the Iditarod, being a "northern" breed. Preparing for climate change, mushers are building cabins to keep their low riding high torque team secret, training for years without any snow. #FakeIditarodBanquetStories

She passed away once she found a comfortable spot in her favorite place to sleep, right next to @Kristieinaction 's side of the bed. There is no way she would have had the strength to continue into the transfusions and biopsy. She got to leave surrounded by us in comfort at home.

Worse then Corona, there's iditarod fever. Symptoms include: - loss of productivity - anxiety - extreme emotional highs and lows - yelling at the live feed and tracker - asking people if they've heard about dog - insomnia Lasts for 7 days and often more.

10 Commandments of Arm Chair Mushing 1. Thou shalt not panic if the GPS doesn't move. It is only a dot, and not actually the musher. There are many reasons why that dot might not move, and nothing shalt be assumed until the press release or official word from the musher's mouth.
