Monday was a training day....

Randy took 12 dogs out for a "fun run" to get their attitudes adjusted!! We continued to be amazed how many dogs are hurt - though all of the 12 ran well for 8 miles Monday, at feeding time Randy noticed that Rocky (his main reliable leader) was limping - so we put a wrap on his ankle - and this morning the wrap had mysteriously disappeared........so we are hoping we don't have a gastrointestinal problem!!!! One of Bellerives has eaten booties with velcro on them twice an twice has had to have surgery!!!!!!

Right now I am at the Extended Stay hotel with Pat and Ron Hnatuik doing laundry and got a shower!! Randy took the truck over to the trailer guy at Bulletproof that fixed our wheels the last time we were in Fairbanks broke down......he wants to have him put a heater in the radiator line so he is sure the truck will start when we need to get to the race start!!! The block heater went out just after we left and then he bought a oil pan heater that you glue to the bottom of the oil pan; but it isn't really working as good as he wants...yesterday and today we had to spray ether in the air intake to get it to start - all of this is because the weather has turned colder - minus 14 this morning and should be for the rest of the week.

After we get back together, we are going to Mari Hoe-Raito's for crock pot dinner - will let you know that goes!!!
