I've been holding
off on writing this next entry.
It makes me sad and
my heart aches for this musher friend of mine.
Kyle Job, who wears his heart on his sleeve, who would do anything for
his dogs, a friend, a stranger.
Kyles high energy
level is extremely infectious and he draws you in with his excitement.
Not long ago (so it
seems) I spent a weekend, with Rick Wannamaker, out at Kyle's place as we
trained dogs for the Canadian Challenge.
Kyle couldn't wait to show us the trails that he put in, amazing trails
that ended up teaching me more about handling a sled around tight spots than I
could have ever hoped for.
We spent the
evenings visiting and talking 'dog' the entire time.
You knew he was
going to do well with his team, you could somehow feel it.
To get word this
morning that he had officially withdrawn from the race made for a very sad
morning indeed.
However, as I
mentioned in my last post, the dogs always come first.
I didn't ask details, but his reason for the withdrawal were for the best interest of his dogs.
