Today I met Jesse. He came over, said hello to my parents, and immediately came to see me. He ruffled my hair, I licked his face, and we became instant buddies. He did bring over some treats...maybe that had something to do with my immediate taking to him, who knows. Anyhow, like I said he's from Juneau originally but lives outside of Anchorage, about 35 minutes from our house. He's been training with sled dogs for almost 10 years now and, like Dave said, it's his passion. I can honestly see it in his eyes. After he spoke with my parents for a little bit, he took me out for a test run. After almost 2 hours of exercise, we arrived back at the house. Jesse couldn't have been happier. He'd been training with Dave's dogs for the past two weeks, and now that he got to meet me he feels like his team is complete. I feel complete too. I never thought in my life that I would have an opportunity to reconnect with my roots- to become wild and free and no longer "domestic."
Got to run, dinner's ready!
Loyally,
Lola
