Okay. Ed, let's go back to the fox for a minute. How will you be able to determine if it was rabid? And in the event of a real emergency--medical, accidental, or otherwise--what's the drill? Have there been occasions where living in the Bush has been a serious detriment to someone's well-being? Oh, and what kind of facilities/amenities do you provide your handlers?
A couple of questions for Ruth: UMO, huh? Awesome. Do you ever get back this way? Maybe you two should to get together and write that book! Folks like us are eager to read all we can about the training and racing of dogs. And some of us are simply fascinated with the subsistence lifestyle. (Do those who live it refer to it as a lifestyle?) Growing up in the D.C. area, Maine was "The Bush" for me. , but I sure love a good story of surviving/living/thriving in a real wilderness. Finally, Ruth, here's something I'm dying to know: How tall is Ed?!
Thank you both for spending some time with us here in our little community of friends and fans. While we cheer for absolutely everyone out on the trail and while we totally relish anyone's victory, we've all got a few favorites. Ed, you've been one of mine since the first season I've been able to follow the races on line. Wishing you good speed, healthy dogs, and a yummy supply of black mukluks--whatever they are! (I thought they were boots!)
