3rd Day!

Sat nite…..
Kukals came about 5:30 and we fed supper with hot water from their bathtub – treated lots of dogs with Arnica (naturopathic treatment for muscle aches – it’s OK to use; not on the “forbidden” drug testing list) and after a vet looked at her yesterday, Marnie gets treated with Rimadyl because she had a stretched/torn or whatever collateral ligament of her back leg – the vet that looked at her went to MSU and is going to bring a splint for her today – she won’t walk on it at all so maybe this will help.
Went to dinner at Micky D’s and if the menu is any indicator, my dollar meal was $1.60 – so that’s a 60% increase in cost of living here!
Came back to the trailer and dropped and treated feet with powder; went to bed right after Kukal’s left .
Up this morning at 8 am with 2 alarm clocks- the one we set and Arrow – she thinks she knows when it’s time to get up.
Fed dogs and were not happy to find that at least 4 of our dogs (2 of them running to day) have the coughing virus that is going around. Hopefully it won’t affect them today and all of the truck will be over it by the time the North American comes in 3 weeks.
On our way downtown I looked over on the side of the street……and what to my wondering eyes did appear……..but a moose strolling through the A & W parking lot……probably stopping in to order a root beer………
Well we are here for day 3 and it appears only Mari Wood has dropped out. Randy is down to only 10 tough dogs: Chelsey, Rocky, Vicki, Blanche, Sioux, Ellen, Larry, Seabiscuit (the 9 year old pipsqueak) Hedwig and Andy.
Just have to make it around the trail one more time!!

yaaaaaay Randy! From the early results, it looks like you held on to 20th and are up for some $$$! woo hoo! Sounds like days 2 and 3 were pretty good runs, even with less dogs. I couldn't listen to quite as much today between making dinner and Caitlin having a friend over to do a science project (they made a volcano with pie crust, rice and jam and "cooked" it in the microwave). Looking forward to hearing about the final festivities and hope the dogs get over the virus quickly!
Love you!!!
