iPhones and global warming: Dispatches from a Siberian husky in the 45th Iditarod
By Norman Chad
March 12, 2017
They’re running out of snow, so “The Last Great Race on Earth” might be down to its last race soon. As the 45th Iditarod Trail Sled Dog Race treks on, Couch Slouch is pleased that Tuffy the Snow Prince, the outspoken 55-pound Siberian husky on musher Spoons Grabilovitch’s sled team, again has agreed to keep a daily log.
Here are excerpts of Tuffy’s Iditarod journal:
Day 1: They moved the start of the race to Fairbanks. Fond memories — my favorite town to chase fire trucks and snowmobiles. . . . I always double-poop the morning we get underway; must be nerves. . . . I’ve got to thank my lucky stars for the Iditarod; otherwise, I’d have jury duty this week. . . . Spare me the organic, artisanal farm-to-bowl chow; I need 10,000 calories a day. . . .
I know he’s hurt now, but it would’ve been fun if we signed Kevin Durant.
....
Day 6: My blog post last week — “If We Win This, I’m Not Setting a Paw in the White House” — is still the talk of Golovin. . . . Charles Barkley’s right about the Tour de France; those fellas are not athletes. But we are. . . . They let cats into the Westminster dog show this year. And here? Yeah, right. . . . Dated a Samoyed once — all bark and no bite. . . .
I know some people are scared of dogs; I am scared of some people.
