Zoya and her husband John are dog sledders whose race teams are made up of rescued dogs. And I just thought you might enjoy reading the stories of their numerous Northern breed dogs who have been given a happy life and are allowed to do what they love to do - run in the snow. <BR/><BR/>Laura, Willow, & StellaL^2https://www.blogger.com/profile/00116360024655645948noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-15177389.post-20564893516353765952007-04-01T20:22:00.000-05:002007-04-01T20:22:00.000-05:00Margery Glickman sits and watches poor racing grey...Margery Glickman sits and watches poor racing greyhounds die in her back yard... so go buy some cool Iditarod auction items.<BR/><BR/>MeeshkaShmoohttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01290170566232915521noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-15177389.post-55033798836841116152007-04-01T16:20:00.000-05:002007-04-01T16:20:00.000-05:00Hi IndyI'm off topic but Mom said your Mom can use...Hi Indy<BR/><BR/>I'm off topic but Mom said your Mom can use any pics of me she wants. :) <BR/><BR/>It's been a while since I've caused some trouble, maybe this is a sign I should find some!<BR/><BR/>Woooooo!<BR/>Thrawn from The Brat PackThe Brat Packhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04041320650336825999noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-15177389.post-68498715272799496702007-04-01T15:34:00.000-05:002007-04-01T15:34:00.000-05:00uh oh! i wud not want holly sitting on me! i cant...uh oh! i wud not want holly sitting on me! i cant imagine why any peepol wud be so stupid that they wud want to hurt theyr dogs. i hope those dogs find a much much betterer home.Ivyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01707208128168335693noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-15177389.post-28768649080472036152007-04-01T15:07:00.000-05:002007-04-01T15:07:00.000-05:00Indy is right. There are probably some mushers wh...Indy is right. There are probably some mushers who do not treat their dogs as well as others. The same is true of pet owners. There are thousands of pets being mistreated every day! Just watch Animal Planets Animal Cops and the proof hits you square in the face, and heart. Unfortunately, it's a fact of life that not every person feels the love and connection to an animal that those of us on this blogging group do. <BR/><BR/>I'd like to believe that the vast majority of those people who mush, DO truly care about their dogs health and well being. With todays technology and advanced veterinary care, these dogs are getting top notch care and would not be allowed to continue to run if they were not 100% able AND willing. Brook's dogs were <BR/>DONE, and that is why THEY decided they did not want to continue. And, as we have all read about his hitting them, even THAT did not get them up. It was a terrible incident, but he WAS disqualified, showing that the race officials DO care.<BR/><BR/>Back off Marjory, or I just might have to come sit on you!<BR/><BR/>HollyKhady Lynnhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13669150640211277224noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-15177389.post-63169964792974149852007-04-01T14:59:00.000-05:002007-04-01T14:59:00.000-05:00I've heard some bipeds abuse their children.
