Finally...a Sympathizer

Hello and welcome to the U.P. 200 & Midnight Run Sled Dog Races!

Allow me to officially begin the welcoming process! I am Breakaway, your race reporter for this year. I maintain this Dog Blog to keep my smaller humans informed on race updates. I also like to impress the chicks.

I received a message from a friend who has been reading my Blog, particularly my trials and tribulations with my brother Blueline who is responsible for my head injury. Tim had some encouraging words for me and I want to share them with you:

I feel your pain Breakaway. I also have experienced the humiliation of no hair - at least on my head. It makes winter a challenge as you can see from the the attached picture. Of course the kilt doesn't help either.

Your friend Tim Eichinger.

Well, Tim even sent in a picture. Here it is:

I must admit that I seem to attract some of the most original people who email me.

Now let me make sure that I remind you to keep your fingers crossed that all the dogs who are even now making their way across the country in dog trucks heading up here for the races all arrive safe and sound. Their mushers, too. The Race HQ opened today and Ikey, the HQ Coordinator is on duty now. Things are really going to start heating up now!

I'll keep you posted -

Breakaway
