HOT dog! COLD daze

HOT DOG: It looks like one of the Choate sled dog team will go down in the history books. Logwagger (aka the Son of Satch) was my unconventional lead dog. A miss hatch of coon hound and husky, Logwagger rallied the team in front when things got slow. His problem, long hound dog ears and not a lot of fuzzy hair to keep him warm. His hound dog limitations relegated him to warm days out on the trail but it didn't diminish his trail spirit. He was always ready to go when called upon. You can tell by his pic that Logwagger has lots of charisma.

We knew Logwagger needed to go to a special home and it looks like we hit the mark. We got a phone call yesterday that Logwagger and his new friend Joseph not only won first place in the one dog race they broke the track record at Tozier Track in Anchorage! We couldn't be more proud! We hope to get to one of Joseph's races with sign in hand - "GO, LOGWAGGER, GO!"
