Training Update - The Cartoonist

I've had several people ask: "So, how will we know when Richard has completed his training and is ready to take the Pretty Sled Dogs into competition?"


As you can see from the other blog entries and pictures, Richard is a natural at mushing and sleeping in sub-zero temperatures on a picnic table

(that comes from his year of sleeping in the planter),

so its just a matter of getting some more miles under his belt before he'll be ready to mush in competition... but we will all know that he's finally hit his stride and is sufficiently trained in the Karen Ramstead method of mushing when...

He catches himself on fire on the trail.
