Gus here, pictured left, next to Daisy. So I'm shy, and Daisy rarely forms a sentence, but between us, we decided to provide everyone with a few concrete stats. At the Kalkaska fest 1/17-1/18, our 6-dog team came in day 1, time: 00:30:21.43, day 2: 00:31:49.55, for a total of : 01:02:10.98; we finished 12 out of 23 teams; that's a 6.6 mile track. Felt good, esp when we heard Grampa T say " "WOW Dan won money, he usually finishes last."
Most recently, at the first annual Fife Lake race, in Springfield Twp, Feb 21-22 -which Dan chaired, worked HIS tail off to make happen for us (Dan has no tail, which we find odd), we came in 3rd!!! The competetion was slim, but we still kicked ass -given nooooo practice the week prior. We ran 2 3.5 mile loops, which Harry says means we ran 7 miles. They say dogs don't sweat, but I sweated that day. They had to wipe off my neck, I was so drenched.
At Newberry, Luce County Airport Race, Jan 24-25, our 6 dog team ran day 1: 00:29:04.15, 2: 00:27:22.86, for a total time of: 00:56:27.01. We ran FASTER than at Kalkaska Fest, coming in at 14th overall.

And I'd like to close by giving Spirit, our newest Saws-N-Paws addition, some props (and it's NOT because I want her puppies, but I do -she's young, and she's not my sister, good enough for me!). That little furball entered our kennel summer 2008, with daily diarrhea and looking bonier than Shane at age 2; but damn, if she hasn't blossomed. She's still skinny, but she eats like a horse and runs like one too!
