Odds and Ends - Bet

Okey dokey, while Richard and the Musher recover from the race, and Helen Handler (smells like buffet now) recovers from last night's banquet (that I wasn't invited to... hmmpf), I thought I'd catch up on some loose ends and also clarify some things.

It was a close race for that, but April W managed to squeek out her guess on the blog beating Brenda P by 13 minutes, congratulations April, I'm sure we'll hunt you down and get your info and send you the prize... whatever Helen picked out.


Deer vs. Sheep

Dear Huskymom (and I know where you live),

If they had been bighorn sheep (Ovis Aries Holycraprun Head Butting Sheep), they wouldn't be grazing, they'd be doing this nonsense:

Now that I've cleared that up... who is smarter? The border collie that tries to herd big sheep with big horns, or me?   Hmmm?
