Mush you huskies!

Jeff King won his *fourth* Iditarod this morning! I really think that's amazing. The dogs that are used in the race are stunning...I can't imagine what it must be like for them to run this race. I'm betting it's like a doggy marathon--except that it is much, much longer than a marathon. If a person actually pulled a sled that far we would be stunned, yet these teams of dogs do it year after year. http://www.msnbc.msn.com/id/11779581/

In other news: I'm feeling a bit better. I think I'm firmly on the road to recovery. I'm not blowing my nose as much and I can breath freely most of the time. I still feel like crap at the end of the day and first thing in the morning. (Of course I always feel like a major grouch in the morning but for the last week I'd have been happy to strangle Mralrescate for just *looking* bright-eyed and bushy-tailed.) Tomorrow I get to go blow glass. Well I get to go blow glass if I can get the lung power to manage any vessels. If all else fails I make a few paperweights to practice using the blocks.

P.S. for fsr44: Have you heard Sheryl Crow and Sting singing a duet yet? It's called 'Always On Your Side.'

I would love to learn how to "drive" a dog sled. Is that the right word? Maybe I can hook my two up to a really tiny sled! That is a funny image!

Yeah I have enough dogs for a team but trying to get all those guys to go in the same direction at the same time would be quite a trick.

Huskies are so beautiful... and NUTS! But in a good way... We have one named Dakota, we call her the Beautiful Girl, and boy does she have good tail! Another nickname is Tail Goddess (mostly because I've been called Hair Goddess, and so it translated to my dog) I always jokingly call Huskies "Hucky Pucks" because I couldn't say it when I was little, trying to say Husky Pups, as my parents had a female and were breeding them at the time. So, I always have to "Squee" whenever I see a Hucky Puck out for a walk! I'm not a dog person really, they're fine, I can take 'em or leave 'em (devoted cat worshiper here) but I LOVE HUSKIES!

I have two huskies...Watson, featured in the icon, and Inigo. My mom used to raise them too....they are good looking dogs but they are adorable when they are pups.

Why now...I hadn't heard anything about it. Could it be that Sting didn't want to tell me he was singing with other women?
Harumph!
How is it, by the way?

I like it.

And I don't really like Sheryl Crow. (But not because she sings with Sting...)

:)

It isn't too bad....Sting sounds fantastic of course. The song is a bit, well, sappy for me. (I'm not sure that is the word I'm looking for but that's the word I'm using.)

I haven't heard that song. I bet it's beautiful :D
