Another Exclusive North Wapiti Item - Bet

Howdy Ho everybody!

As you already know, I'm all about the matching ensemble!  Unlike the Pretty Curly Tails, I'm not designed for these really really, did I mention REALLY cold Canadian winters, much less the extremely really REALLY, did I mention freeze your paws off, cold Alaskan winters!

I require a coat, booties, and something to keep my sensitive ears warm.  I prefer to have a matching ensemble because I'm stylish like that, and I also have to present a professional look for all of my North Wapiti groupie fans.  I can't just be hanging out looking all disheveled and unmatched... much like what happened during the 2011 Canadian Challenge.  I was totally expecting to be staying in a nice warm hotel where they had room service and other amenities while the Musher and Pretty Curly Tails were out racing... but sadly no.

So, there I was... blue coat, green scarf, and Musher Mark's brown mittens on my ears... I was so embarrassed I didn't want to get out of the truck... ok, I didn't want to get out of the truck because it was warm in there, but also because I looked like a total fashion NO, NO, BAD DOG!

This is seriously embarrassing

I vowed after that embarrassment that I would never go to a race unless I was fully matching and stylish.  I had been saving my money for my Gucci outfit, but the bake sale was a total failure.  How was I to know that people wouldn't travel all the way out to the middle of Perryvale nowhere for my peanut butter cookies... that I ate before they were put in little bags with cute pawprints on them... pawprints of the Pretty Curly Tails by the way, but I digress.

Ok, fine I'll get to the point... geesh, you people are impatient!

So, using cunning and guile, I got the Musher to style and order the really cool North Wapiti exclusive Gee/Haw mittens.

Which meant that all I needed was something to keep my sensitive ears toasty warm.  Hmm, what could I get that would be all toasty and warm and matching...

You guessed it!  HATS!

Oh yeah, we've got hats now!

Not only do we have hats, but they totally match the mittens!  How diabolical is that????

We have red hats and black hats.  No matter which hat you get... you'll still match the mittens!  I'm an evil marketing genius!

The hats are made from very soft Baa-Baa sheepie thing wool and have tassels and ear flappy things and are just really warm and comfy.  You can find out more information about them and order them from our Shop  one size fits most heads, and to prove that, I'll model them for you.

um.... Musher, can you give me a hand here, I don't think the hat is on right.

Musher?  I said I need a hand here... Musher?

FINE!  I'll wait until you finish laughing, but you better not be taking pictures of me.

Ok, so you can clearly see that they are very stylish and fit just about any head... apparently not Collie heads, but I'll just have the Musher do some modifications and I'll be good to go.

You won't have to do any modifications (unless your head is shaped like a Collie) and you will be stylish, matching, and fleecy sheepie warm this winter with your very own North Wapiti hat!

So visit the store and get your very own exclusive North Wapiti hat... and some mittens while you're at it.

All Work and Some Play - Bet

A Border Collie's work is never done, it seems.

The Minions have told me that its hard for people to find out where to buy all of the cool North Wapiti stuff that we have to offer, so I spent all morning on the computer creating a little shop where everyone can find all of the goodies!

Not only does the shop have things that come exclusively from North Wapiti, but it also has links to the Cafe Press store (where you can buy North Wapiti logo items and coming soon, more fun calendars to choose from for next year!), and where you can buy the Pretty Sled Dogs DVD that doesn't feature me, but is still really cool to watch and see just how the Musher does her mushing with the Pretty Curly Tails. I highly recommend it!

Now all you have to do is click the button at the top of the blog on the right that looks like this:

And it will take you straight to the store!  Isn't that handy?  I thought you'd like it!

After I was done with all of the work, I decided to spend the rest of the day doing dog-like things for a change.  It was a nice day and all, and its been a while since I've played with the Tramplings.  They are getting older now, and they try to act all grown up and serious, so its always fun for me to go out there and play tricks on them.  I guess you can call it payback.

First I go out and I pretend as though I'm just going to lay in the sand and mind my own business.  Nothing to see here, just catching some rays and feeling the sand squish through my feets.

Then I start digging a hole, just a little hole, and when you dig a hole, you have to pile the sand up somewhere... yep, just digging a hole, nope I don't need any help, just digging.

Golly gee, look at the hole I've dug, and the sand is piled up pretty high... its so high up that I don't think the Tramplings can see me at all, hehehehe.

Nope, I don't think they can see me, because they're arguing over whether the beetle they're sniffing is a leptinotarsa decemlineata, or a Callosobruchus maculatus... they really need to stop watching the Science Channel and get a life.

Hehehe, now is my chance to sneak up on them using my keen Border Collie stalking technique

I'm invisible, nobody can see me... I stalk like the wind, totally ready to pounce at a second's notice to herd the Tramplings back to their houses... I am Ninja Bet.

What??? Breakfast is ready?

Hey, Ninjas have to eat too you know!

Reminder: There's Really Cool Stuff to be had! - Bet

Howdy ho everybody!  Its your prepping for reporting and roving Border Collie Bet here!

Things are really getting exciting around here now that the Pretty Curly Tails are gearing up for real training in preparation for the IDITAROD!!!

As the Musher wrote, the morning soup is being doled out, the young ones are sitting it out, and the real training begins!

Since the Musher and Curly Tails are hard at work training, I thought I'd send out a reminder of the myriad ways that you can be a part of the North Wapiti team and help them get to Alaska... and look stylish and cool all at the same time!

First off, I wanted to remind you about the really cool cow sweater that the Musher helped knit.  Yeah, I bet you thought that we forgot about the sweater, but ooooh noooo, we didn't forget at all!

We will be drawing at the end of November for the person that gets this really cool, made by Musher, hand knitted from baa baa sheepy wool stuff sweater and the person that will get the really cool keeps your crampy hands warm wristie things that were knitted by Handler (smells of cookies) Helen!

For more details on these cool things, please read all about it here, then come back and get your chance in by clicking the Sweater button that's on the right hand side alllll the way down the... oh forget about that, here's the sweater button right here:

So, what else is there???

Well, we have very limited selections of sweatpants, hoodies, bumper stickers, and t-shirts.  Please contact the Musher Minions to find out what sizes we have, and how to purchase them.

We also have the really fleecy soft EXCLUSIVE North Wapiti Gee/Haw mittens!  Not only are the soft and warm, but they are educational and a great conversation piece because you know people are going to ask you what the heck Gee and Haw means, and you can tell them all about me and the Pretty Curly Tails.  You will be the envy of society with your warm, soft, fluffy, educational, totally awesome mittens.

Besides... you'll need the soft, fluffy, educational, totally awesome mittens, because they will match the next cool item we'll be rolling out soon and you don't want to mismatch, now do you??
