N...Margery and Ringo - thank you for the comments. Normally, my blog is only about my hikes, but I am branching out a bit because of my recent trip to Alaska, describing different experiences there that I had.<br /><br />I have only rarely removed comments - if they are strictly a sales ad, like one posted for shoes a couple of times, or if they say anything obscene. So I am going to leave the comments up and you both have provided information / links that can be used to review information. I know I am interested in learning more. I have heard of dogs on occasion dying during the race. I would think and hope that most mushers would treat their dogs well - my impression was that the man we talked to and who demonstrated his dogs did. They seemed to have genuine affection for him. That being said, animal abuse world wide is a huge problem. Thanks again to both of you for your comments.

It is too bad that Margery felt the need to share her agenda on your blog. I'd like to encourage you to remove Margery Glickman's comments from your blog. <br />Here is a resource that has factual information about the race. http://healthysleddogs.wordpress.com/Dianehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17717996958259824098noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7217550424009104380.post-59878144570789924622010-10-10T11:34:28.155-07:002010-10-10T11:34:28.155-07:00That is just amazing what those people and the dog...That is just amazing what those people and the dogs do!!!happyonehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14186179870233267082noreply@blogger.com
