This photo is so cute. I think it's nice to see that the dogs get little blankies and are all tucked in. I wonder if he read them all a bedtime story too. It's so fascinating that they know it's time to get some much needed sleep before hitting the trail again. These dogs are so incredibly athletic and smart. I just read that Schnuelle is extremely close with his dogs, even more so than I reported to you last week. A fellow musher Jerry Wilomitzer, remarked recently "He prefers to be as close to his dogs as he can ... When I once picked him up for a quick trip to the Dog Mushing Symposium in Fairbanks I walked into his house without knocking (he doesn’t knock on my door either) – and stood right in the middle of his race team. He was sleeping on a mattress on the floor, with almost 20 dogs on a couple of couches and the floor around him. The dogs and Sebastian are a team – year round, on the race trail or at home." That, my friends, is why I love Sebastian Schnuelle so much. That and his hair. And the fact that he was sponsored by 'Big Daddy's Bar-B-Q' (notice his bib above).I watched a program last night on the 'Vs.' channel about this year's Iditarod. So my interest is back ON LIKE DONKEY KONG! Yay Iditarod! Am so into it again, I can't believe I was ever over it. Am nervous about what I am supposed to do once Sebastian crosses the finish line. What do I obsess over? I think my next topic will be Lawrence Taylor on Dancing With The Stars. Get excited!!
FYI Sebastian Schnuelle is now 2.5 hours behind the current leader, Lance Mackey.
