I love sled dogs. I love reading about sled dogs. I have been reading a lot about sled dogs and talking a lot about sled dogs. So....Mommy and Daddy took me to a sled dog race up at Frog Lake. It was really cool. There were a ton of dogs! The skiijoring was also really cool. Maybe Scout would like to do that?

Our friend Dave was nice enough to give us a tour of his really cool trailer (well, it seems like it belongs to the dogs more than him). I can't believe how lucky he is to have all those dogs!

By the way, here are some books about sled dogs that I've read: "Sled Dogs Run", "Togo", "The Bravest Dog Ever: The True Story of Balto" and "Wind Wild Dog". Some of them are for older kids. Well, maybe all of them are for older kids but I like them. If you're in the pre-K crowd, you might like "Sled Dogs Run" and "Wind Wild Dog" best.

Check out the gallery for photos of my new sunglasses, ballet in the kitchen, a trip to the zoo and more sled dogs! For the record Mommy took hundreds of photos of the sled dogs but we didn't put them all in my gallery. Send her a note if you NEED to see more.

Mommy and I stopped to watch some grown-ups on tiny bikes play Capture the Flag in Ladd's Addition. Mommy had no idea how much fun I was going to have watching - she was sorry she didn't bring a ninja costume for me. There were a a couple of kids and one about my size (though a little older) so that was cool too. We hid in the bushes and talked about kid stuff. It was fun.

Is comfy enough for both of us!

Maybe it isn't really news! Anyway, Grandma sent these photos a while back and I thought you'd like to see Mommy's childhood pet, Tigger. I think, technically, he was Uncle Brian's pet or everyone's pet or something. All I know is Mommy loved him a lot even though he used to bite and scratch. I can understand that. What I can't understand is why Grandma and Grandpa didn't get her the monkey she wanted too. There are a couple more in the gallery too.

Can someone tell me why these photos have round edges? That's weird.

I like to do agility (I say en-gility) like a doggie. Well, not LIKE a doggie. Sometimes, I AM a doggie and I'm a doggie that does agility. I also like to train my dogs to do it.

We find stuff around the house to make a course. I like to run along the side of the weave poles rather than weaving. Mommy laughs. I also like to sit on the "stay table" until Mommy tells me okay. It's lots of fun!
