A Day in THE LIFE

These days i'm either waking up at 4 in the MORINING to go hook up dogs and take em out on a run, or I get up at the more acceptable hour of 6 30 to go feed, water and scoop doggie poops. Yesturday morning I got up to run dogs when that little worm of a question wiggled into my thought, "Why in the heck am I doing this?" On top of it being one of those 4 am mornings I was dealing with one of those monthly annoyances...ugh. I went through the morning bitching and moaning to myself "Poor me...oh, Poor me". I was your basic whiner. Toward the end of the run my boss, Linda, had me hop in the front of the 4-wheeler to continue my lesson in mushing. Its an amazing thing to be mushing a 16 dog team. They are so frickin amazing! After returning and finishing up chores, I went up and loved on each dog... They completely changed my attitude. As I get to know the each dog individually and as a team, I realize just how incredible they are. I LOVE my job!
