June 17, 1999

Well, I decided this would be a good time to start the 2000 Journal. The dogs are on 'summer holidays' for 1 month. We expect that we will be 'back at it' again early next month. Things are staying very busy for me as I am cleaning up harness, ganglines and the like. I'm also working on fundraising and organization for Iditarod.
I took a little break last weekend and took Breezy and Spud out to the Canadian National Siberian Husky Show in Regina, Saskatchewan. Breezy was given an Award of Merit and Best Overall Sled dog. Spud took his veteran class as well. All and all a great weekend. It was great to visit with some old friends and to make some new ones!
I'm off to the Post Office today to courier off my Iditarod entry. Entries open June 26 and the Iditarod Homepage will have all the first day entrants posted there!
