Karen,
Your Cape Nome ritual touched my heart!!! What a perfect place and time to thank your best friends for their undying loyalty and the unforgettable journey!
As for Snickers...she'll be an excellent angel watching out for all those magnificent four-legged athletes! I'm glad the last little bit of her made it to Nome with you! (...tears from the heart)
I have a couple of questions. When showing your dogs, judges look for certain standards including weight. Do any of those characteristics go counter to what is needed to be a long distance racing dog? For example, I do agility with my dogs. A weight for best in breed often would be too heavy for an agility dog.
The second question has to do with the necklaces "For Snickers" that were sold as a fund raiser for ulcer research and your 2008 race. Are the necklaces still available? I don't see a link on your website, and I know there were a limited number of them.
Thanks for taking the time to join us. We love it!
