The moon is bright, spreading her lovely light over the freshly fallen snow. The dogs are all nestled in warm, fluffy beds of straw. The horses are munch, munch, munching away on some lovely hay on this crisp, winter's night. The boys are snuggled under the covers, looking so innocent and sweet in their slumber. Worn out from the evening's adventures of food, fireworks, music and fun. Onyx and Radar are dreaming doggie dreams, curled up on the dog beds I made for them, while Lady and Jaeger are curled up on the furniture (Lady on the couch with me, Jaeger in the chair with Manny). The cats are also curled up on the furniture, purring away in their slumber, comfortable and cozy. Though some may feel that our lives are boring, we feel that our lives are full and wonderful. We are happy to sit together here in our own home, having hot tea and watching a movie. We can hear the neighbors celebrating the turning of the Year with loud pops and bangs, as they set off private fireworks. Happy New Year to All! Here's hoping 2007 is all you hope it will be!
Manny, my wonderful husband, fixed my sled for me; so, it's off on another 50 miler tomorrow with a 10 dog team. I have things ready, just have to figure out which 10 dogs to take. While I'd love to take the same team I ran on Friday, I have 3 other dogs to run from the A team and still haven't decided which 12 dogs I'll be taking with me to Cantwell. Here are the candidates:
Feather (L), Just (L), Dusk (L), Taurus (L), Riley (L), China (will Lead), Tricky (L), Willy, Jake (will Lead), Booger, Rocket, Inu, and Ody. Decisions, decisions.
It is really nice to look at these guys and see so many leaders in the mix. Makes me lean towards taking all of the leaders, then filling in...but Riley has been off and on this season; so I'm not sure if he'll go or not. I'll run him tomorrow and see. I'll have my team picked by the end of next weekend (I hope!).
Happy 2007!!!
