Twas The Night Before Christmas - Bet

POUTINES!!!!!  Come inside so I can read you a story before bedtime!



Ok, are you all ready for your bedtime story?  This involves the mystical and magical Santa Claws, who brings us all sorts of goodies tomorrow, like shrimp and pasta, waffles, and fluffy clouds!!!!




There's no such thing as Santa Paws!!!!

Oh little gravy Gem, yes there is... he comes every year and he gives us all sorts of goodies in his gigantic bag of goodies... he drives a sleigh and with 8 tiny magical stompy hooved reindeer things.


Auntie Bet, you're being silly, there's no such thing as magical reindeer things!  Just big stompy mooses... we heard all about it from Irving who told us all about how he single handedly beat up a stompy moose thing!

Stompy mooses are bigger thingies, but there is a Santa Claws and there are magical stompy reindeer thingies but you'll never see them because they come at night... they come TONIGHT and that's why it's important that all of you go to bed right now so he'll come... I'm expecting a fashionable ensemble I've had my eye on for quite some time and I think the Musher wants a lumberjack... or a shirt or something.


But we don't want to go to bed Auntie Bet, we want to PLAY and PLAY!!!

No my little Poutines, you have to go to bed now, because if you don't go to bed, then Santa Claws won't come and I won't be fashionable, so off to sleep you go!


ACK, no seriously, you have to go to bed, I command you to go to sleep now!

Ok Auntie Bet, we'll go to sleep, but I'm going to stay up all night and wait for this Santa Claws fella because I want everything he's got in that magical sack of his!



And what's up with all of these light things!!??


Well, Santa needs those lights to guide him to the kennel... there are some outside too, so it's like he's landing at a major airport, we want him to see us and bring us goodies!

Off you go everybodies, get to sleep and dream of sugar drops and gum fairies or something like that!

To all of our fans, everybodies at North Wapiti Kennels wishes you a very Merry Christmas!

Official Pretty Curly Tail Ensembles - Bet

Howdy Ho everybodies!

I wanted to thank all of you who voted in the official poll to determine what the Pretty Curly Tails will be wearing to the 2014 Iditarod.  It was very exciting watching the poll numbers climbing and trying to figure out what their colors would be... ok, so it was pretty close and not so exciting, but we're happy to announce that...

are you ready....

are you sure you're ready?

Ok, fine!  Eesh, cranky much today??

Ganglines will be purple!!!  The Musher is very happy about that.  She really REALLY wanted purple ganglines, so when that won by 72% of the vote, she actually did a little happy dance.

Tug/neck lines... well, purple officially won out by 1% of the vote.  It was 68% purple, 67% red... but we can't have purple everything... that would just make it confusing on the trail when the Musher is tired, brain dead, and has to untangle the Pretty Curly Tails (yes, it happens), so we'll be going with red tug/neck lines this year.

The booty ensemble will be a fabulous neon green!  Our Donna F. Bootie Minion picked out this FABulous material for the booties


We also learned that Donna F. Bootie Minion ran a 5k race, finished, then fell down and broke things in her hand... congratulations on finishing the race... ooooh.... eeeeesh.... get well soon Donna F. Bootie Minion!!!!

ANYHOOO!!!

In case you want to know what the final ensemble will look like, I had the Cartoonist draft an example for you (and for once she wasn't swigging Nyquil).

Of course, when I showed the Musher, she insisted that you all wouldn't get the full effect without a full team of dogs shown from the front, side, and top.  ahem... I could barely get the scatterbrained Cartoonist to draw one dog, let alone a team, and various angles... so I had a go at it.

See!  The sled will be black with red trim, the harnesses will be red, and everyone will be all color coordinated and matched and stylish!

We want to send out a hugey HUGE thank you to Alpine Outfitters for the pretty purple ganglines!!

Alpine Outfitters, official wonderful sponsor of the Pretty Sled Dogs and North Wapiti!

Go there and tell them how wonderful we think they are

Well... except for the Musher, we still have some outfit selections to go through.  Frankly I'm not real thrilled with her first example.


We have a LOT of work to do here.
