A few pics from Thursday

Hi, everyone - 
I realized that I was way behind in posting pictures from Thursday, so here are just a few highlights:

At Iditarod Headquarters where the vets were doing their checkups with the dogs:

The sign says "Dog team crossing"

The trophy on the left weighs 97 pounds; the Red Lantern award is on the right

And from the 17th Dog Kennel visit:

You may not know this, but I really love the music of Bon Jovi ... the dog above is named Bon Jovi so I had to get a picture with her!  Interesting fact: mushers often have a theme when they name their puppies. Bon Jovi had litter mates named Billy Idol and Van Halen.  One year they used candy bar names!
