Iditarod from a musher's experience

my 5lb poodle Molly

Here's some pretty good reading. It's a blog from my dog's vet(written by Mary Hunt), who is racing in this year's Iditarod. I'm pretty sure these guys wouldn't recognize me or my dog as we're only in there for the yearly or bi yearly vaccination, but nonetheless it's kinda cool to have an acquaintance that's up in Alaska racing sled dogs right at this very minute.

Here's a pic of Dr. Hunt racing his team at the UP 200 a couple years back. Beautiful day, happy looking dogs. The UP 200 is a rather huge event here in Marquette in February and is a qualifying race for the Iditarod.
