Here's a piece on Susan Butcher for sled dog fans, or fans of the Ididarod. Please, no dopey peta comments (I refuse to capitalize the initials of this bonehead group). Seems like Butcher is up against a terrible race this time. Good luck to her. At the end of the article, click the link, there is an address where you can send your thoughts, & they better be all good.
"Quick -- conjure up an image of Susan Butcher.
Chances are she's kneeling in snow, wearing an unflattering watch cap and examining a husky's paw the way some Alaska women might inspect spring's first rhododendron blossoms.
Or maybe your iconic image has Butcher posed beneath Nome's burled arch and grinning widely, hugging her lead dogs close after the team turned in another first-place finish in the Iditarod Trail Sled Dog Race. A four-time Iditarod champ, Butcher amassed oodles of those end-of-the-trail snapshots; my favorite is a black-and-white from 1988, the year she notched her third consecutive win -- one of only two mushers in race history to do so."
