I hope you have enjoyed my website, dedicated to my dogs and the joy of having them in my life. I would love to hear from you! My website will be updated often, so be sure to visit again. |
| How do I squeeze 47 yrs of "me" into the following space.. .... |
Thank You! Thank you to everyone who has shared the trail with us, offered help, advice and encouragement or just the joy of their companionship! But most of all, a huge thank you goes to my hubby, Richard who not only loves the dogs as much as I do, but always offers me endless support |

I guess I have somewhat of a wild
spirit, never conforming, always
seeking a new challenge and new
adventures.
Past and Present?
I have always been entrepreneurial
from being a child. I lived and worked
in Europe, I have been the recipient of
several Business Awards, I've been
on television and in magazines for
various accomplishments, modelled
swim wear and ski wear
(in my younger days!) and I've also
been involved in the fashion industry,
sporting industry and now the Real
Estate industry.
I'm quietly competitive
I Love my sports and hobbies. I
consider myself to be very athletic. In
my past, I have enjoyed many club
level ski races, I still ski as often as
possible, I also snowboard from time
to time. Recently, I have enjoyed
cross country skiing. For many years
I was a National level amateur body
builder with a number of top 3
finishes. Voted best female
performer 7 times during my
competitive career. It is a challenge
to be this competitive and run
freighting dogs! But there lies the
challenge which really motivates me.
My biggest competitor is myself. We
compete with ourselves, trying hard
to always do better. Some of my
dogs are naturally competitive,which
is wonderful for freighting dogs, so it
is great to give them a racing arena
so as to enjoy their natural talents.
Sports and Hobbies
Training and running dogs
Weight training
Running
Skiing/snowboarding
Cross Country Skiing
Doggie obedience classes
Art (love to draw, love to paint)
Cooking
Reading
Gardening
For many years I have also been a
Certified Personal Trainer
Fitness and aerobic instructor and
Ski Instructor
Currently
I maintain a good level of fitness year
round. I run a lot during the summer
in preparation for a mega birthday
run each year on my birthday. That's
how I celebrate getting older. Makes
me feel good about my age. My runs
have included:-
Mount Washington and the
kancamagus highway
2007
47th Birthday Celebration
Fast Walk :)
- Sept 5
Argh! Sadly knee injury is
still preventing me from
running.!
2008
I hope to be back running!

RICK MACKEY's 1998
Yukon Quest leader,
Cindy, was taking the
team through Forty
mile country in her
second Quest when
she approached a
closed-up cabin that
had been a
checkpoint a year
earlier. There were
no markers or broken
trail. And yet the
young dog
remembered the
place and tried to pull
in. That taught
Mackey this:
"Trust your leaders
and you'll stay out of
trouble. They know
where they're going....
or at least where they
went last year!"

My Sled Dog Taught
