Cover of "Fast into the Night: A woman, her dogs, and their journey North on the Iditarod Trail" by Debbie Clarke Moderow. Photo of Moderow on a sled being pulled by a team of sled dogs over snow.
So a very very nice friend was at a book festival in Baltimore, and bought a book for me! (she's known me for 40 years so she knows my obsessions) π
I can't believe I've never read about Debbie Clarke Moderow. #mushers #uglydogs

Nicholas and Josie, our adorable senior mini-donkeys! π Like many senior equines they can no longer chew and digest regular hay properly, so what you see them eating here is a special diet of finely chopped timothy hay cubes and beet pulp that are soaked into a mash.
