Having raised dogs, and being around cats that have gone into heat, they have my deepest sympathies.
]]>Good grief! Really? 7? I can only imagine…
Actually, would that be something like a canine rolling wh…no…no…I didn’t say that.
How exactly does one give “mouth to snout” anyway. If it happened to me, I would probably be startled enough to try anything. Bet Badtux would, too 🙂
]]>There is a lot of ‘first aid’ that you have to learn if you are going to be a musher on anything other than a sprint course. You have to become part of the ‘pack’ to control the dogs. You hear mushers, including Josh Cadzow who is competing this year, talk about failing their dogs with a bad decision. The dogs have to trust you, they aren’t ‘wage slaves’ like humans. If you don’t treat them properly, they won’t work for you.
Cats are a lot easier for CPR than dogs, and dogs are easier than adult humans. You don’t think, you just do.
Face it – if you don’t love it, there is no way you are going to camp out with about a dozen dogs in freezing weather for two weeks.
]]>My best guess is that Scott Jansen loves his dogs way more than any sensible person loves his animals. And idiot animal rights activists whine about how these dogs are “abused”? Really?!
