The dogs are doing well; I'm sure they'll be excited when Bill gets back from Alaska tomorrow. He has spent the past week up north taking care of some logistical issues for the race. He has to get the food ready, bring all the gear up, sign all the paperwork, etc etc. I usually hate people that dress their dogs up, but I'm not going to lie....my dogs look stellar in their booties and down jackets. They instantly got excited when I brought out the jackets and harnesses. They know this means cold weather is coming and with it, running.
I said in my previous post that I have been feeding them more. I figured out the other day that I am going through about 36 pounds of dog food a day. That's around one pound for each dog plus another 4 for the puppies. Their different reactions to breakfast always makes me laugh. Pinks does this little dance that involves a sideways shuffle. Osiris will stand on his hind legs and bark for the solid ten minutes it takes me to get to him. Attla sits next to his dish and licks his lips at least 5 times. And then there's everyone else who basically just run in circles until I get to them.
I can't wait to start running them....they'll be even more excited by that. But that journey doesn't begin until after I get back from VT.
Until then, I'll keep working, playing, and having adventures. Not a rough life.
