Donut gets an exorcism

 Dec. 2016

Have I told you all about the time we gave Donut an exorcism?

This was last fall.  Our little boss bitch Donut, who is always weird, was getting weirder.  She spent hours staring at the air, snarling.

Donut had been around the block by the time we got her--she was 5, and did everything 200%.  She ran 200%, she ate 200%, she cuddled 200%.

She was short and always fat and always dirty.  Every boy dog was afraid of her.  She dug up rocks bigger than her head.

One time the neighbors called to tell me they'd just heard one of our dogs get killed by a pack of coyotes.  They were very upset.

I would have been upset, too, except I was with the dogs and they were all fine.  Turns out all they'd heard was Donut screaming at her bowl.

Which is all to say that Donut would have to get pretty strange for us to bat an eye.  But then, suddenly, she started making these noises.

If you go to 3:57 in this video, you'll get an idea what these noises were like.  Unsettling, and always aimed at the air.

This went on for months and we could never explain it.  It was like a trance.  The moment we said her name, she'd snap to herself again.

Here's a glimpse of what it looked like each time:

Fall went on, and it was Thanksgiving.  One of my aunts is training as a psychic and she was in town for a visit.  We told her about Donut.

My aunt said she'd try clearing her of bad energy. We thought, why not?  Handler Chrissie (donut's soulmate) got Donut and held her tight.

When she first started swinging the pendulum, Donut FREAKED.  Struggled for all she was worth to get back outside.  But then she calmed down.

The pendulum swung for a long time.

And ever since then, Donut stopped growling at the air.  It just...never happened again.  She was her normal weird self again.  

THE END.

Pyro the Fat-Eater

 Feb. 2017 A very special thing happened before our last race, an 80-miler over two days. The special thing was that one of the dogs got into the bucket of chicken fat (we dole it out by the tablespoon) and ate, like, half of it. But we didn't know which dog Which meant that somewhere in my time, one of those happy running dogs was an explosive digestive time bomb just waiting to happen. Tick tock tick tock tick tock [PIC OF SLED TEAM HERE SORRY] tick tock tick tock tick tock [SHORT VIDEO OF SLED TEAM] Ten miles, twenty miles... all was quiet.  The dogs were running great up every hill.  We passed volunteers cheering, children waving. But truth will out. There was a splash, and Badger puked.  But the thing is, Badger pukes pretty much every day.  He shook his face and wagged his tail. And then the truth came out.  IT WAS PYRO. Yes.  Pyro. Pyro ate the fat.  There was no doubt about that.  And the mystery was no more.  THE END. Twitter re...
