I think this was a few years ago and it looks like a Dog Show in the first photo. I frequently observe Lily watching TV. It's so much fun watching her attention span.
How about a little run in the IDITAROD? Lily thought that would be something fun to do. But, she wasn't sure if she wanted to be that cold for that many days.
The IDITAROD trail sled dog race is an annual long-distance (over 1150 miles) sled dog race run in early March from Anchorage to Nome, Alaska. Mushers and a team of 16 dogs, of which at least 6 must be on the towline at the finish line. They cover the distance in 9 to 15 days or more.
About the time I took these photos, the son of my neighbors had a team of dogs in Montana that ran several years in the Iditarod. They would go on occasion to Montana to take care of the dogs when their son had to be away. According to them, the dogs take a tremendous amount of work, which is not surprising. Additionally, it is a huge monetary investment. I am not sure of his success rate with the racing but I'm quite sure there was some return on his monetary investment. Interesting hobby? I love hearing about other peoples adventurous pursuits. That may be because of my inherent curiosity.
Lily Medical Update: She is doing about the same. Maybe, a little less coughing. Hooray!
It has been raining all day. I sure hope the folks in the "Burn Area" aren't flooding to severely. Flooding started a couple days ago. And, snow levels are lower but thankfully not near the "Burn Area". Prayers for comfort for them would be nice.
Now, it's time for me to laugh. Do you too have a haunted house?
That's just precious how Lily is so intrigued at the TV. Wonder if she realized those are dogs? I bet she does. She may even have her favorite. :) . We are actually seeing some snow flurries here in North Carolina today. Its such a big deal when snow falls in our area. Hope it warms up soon.

Our cats watch my iPad when I have on the bird cams! They love their "cat TV" as I call it! I sure do hope everyone's weather straightens up because the current conditions are getting a bit too stressful and damaging. So glad to hear that Lily is holding her own and not coughing as much. That makes my heart very happy!
