First one I'll name "Bobby McGee" after that great ol' hippie song, done by everyone from Janice Joplin, Kenny Rogers, Kris Kristopherson, to Gordon Lightfoot. Second dog will be named "Shageluk" after a wonderful group of Athabascan kids at Innoko school on the Iditarod trail. BUT of course the BEST DOG OF ALL IS THE ONE YOU HAVE NOW!
I liked that song "Bobby McGee", I would have many more dogs, but at my age I have to think what would happen to them and you are right the Best Dog is the One You Have Now.
I have a cousin who raced sled dogs up in New Hampshire, I thought I saw a movie about the Iditarod, is that where they race the dogs up through Alaska for quite a few days., with only minimum rest?
