Winterfest 2010 -we hauled ass

-Dan's ass, that is. Lloyd here. I'm that dark-n-lovely wheel dog next to JD in the 4-dog team shot. Might interest our fans to know, we got fourth place in the sportclass!!! all boys, no bitches this time -with my nephew Shane and my brother Harry up front, I wasn't sure how this was going to go down, but they made me proud: 20:43.05 day 1; 21:23.35 day 2, for an overall of 42:06.40.

Of course we all watched the 6-dog team smoke 'em too- they pulled 3rd in the 6-dog sport class! Pam and Cooter led, Gus and Spirit held tight in the middle (Gus pulled some strings with Dan to get that spot), and Daisy and T-Bone were the wheels. 29:49.42 day 1; 26:08.48 day 2; combined total of 51:57.90. 6.6 miles of pure paw power. There WERE some nasty rumors around the bumpers after day 1 (mostly from the purebreads)-that Spirit was on steroids; and her boot was a performance enhancing trick, but she handled it just like Lance Armstrong, offered to take any pee test, any time. That shut their fuzzy pie holes up.

Spirit's "After" shot, prepped for 2010!

Hi everybody! Spirit here. I just thought I'd take this opportunity to show off my gut. I have a gut! I get a powder potion with my food, so now I'm magic. I look good, I feel good, -I still get the runs a lot, but hey, so does Dan, and he says I'm running good. He's taking me EVERYwhere these days, probably to show off my gut -but my paws are healing up too. I think this may be my best year yet. I just hope my elders can keep up. I think Shilo's a little sore at me for taking her spot on the 6-dog team for Winterfest 2010, but what can I say? I'm large & in charge! BTW, Aunt D says we don't have a BEFORE shot, but it was just too gross to post anyway.
