Me: *Calls out* "Jack! Snowball!" Can you come in here for a minute? Both: Yes mom? What is it? Me: I need to talk to you guys about something important. Both of you are 8 years old now and I'm sorry to say, but it's come time for you two to retire. After this year's Iditirod race is over, you guys won't be able to race anymore. Snowball: Ah come on mom! *Whines* I still love racing! It's my life! Jack: Whew, I'm tired of pulling that sled around anyways. I'm ready for life of retirement. *Day dreams about sleeping all day* Me: Now come on, it won't be so bad. There will still be plenty for you two to do. Snowball: Like what? Jack: Ah Man! Me: First of all, you two are in charge of picking the best dogs to take your places. I'm leaving it up to you because I trust your instincts. You two were awesome dogs to have on the team and I expect awesome replacements. Got it? *Both Nod* Next, you guys will be helping with training the team, training new recruits, and ... helping raise the puppies. *Snowball smiles at the thought of raising more puppies* Jack: No! Not the puppies! I won't get any sleep! Me: Oh Jack, sleep is over rated! Jack: *Sighs* Alright, you two go watch the team train and report back to me with who you think should take your place. While your at it, I have some members of the team being adopted out too and we'll need replacements for them as well. Let me know who you think is ready or has the best potential to race next year okay? Both: Okay mom! *Run off to observe the team train*

Left to right; Terra, Anouk, Aspen, Echo, Frosty, Maree, and Tikaani Snowball: Alright everyone, gather around, we've made our decisions. *Everybody comes to listen* Snowball: As you all know, Jack and I are retiring and Amy has asked us to choose our replacements. We've been watching you all train and are pretty happy with what we've seen. Terra: *Scratches her ears* Snowball: I have chosen Tikaani to take my spot as Lead dog and run next to Shamrock. Tikaani, I've seen you really blossom over the last year and since you already have some experience as a lead dog you were an obvious choice. With Timber being shipped out to another team, this works out for the best as well. Tikaani: Wow! Thank you Snowball! This is a dream come true, I won't let you down! Snowball: *Smiles* I know you won't Tikaani. I've already discussed this with Shamrock and he is very happy with this decision too. Jack? Would you like to announce who you've chosen? Jack: Yes, thank you Snowball. Anouk, I have chosen you to take my spot and run next to Winnie. I have also already discussed this with her and she is excited to have you as her running partner. Anouk: OMG! I made the team! Thank you SO Much Jack! I am super excited to run next to Winnie! Snowball: Now, with more members of the team being shipped out to other teams, there ARE a few more places on the team that needs to be filled. We will be watching the rest of you train more and making our decision in a few days. Keep up the good work, we've seen a lot of potential in all of you and look forward to seeing what each of you can bring forward. *Excitement raised throughout them all* Snowball: Now go home for the day and we'll see you all back here early in the AM

Junebug: You guys quit fighting you're going to wake him up! Rain: *Growling* I can't stand you! Why didn't mom send you to live somewhere else!? Alpine: *Growling* Get off of me! I hate you too! Kamots: Can't we all just get along? Me: *Walking in calling for Jack* Jack! .... Jack..... *Sees him sleeping* Jack? Atka: I didn't do it mom, I swear! Me: JACK! Wake up! You were supposed to be WATCHING the puppies! *Jack jumps up* Jack: Huh!? What? What happened? Me: Look at this mess! The puppies have eaten all of the treats, chewed up a shoe, Rain and Alpine are fighting, and June bug has the medicine which can make her sick! *Snatches medicine from Junebug* Jack: *Cowers and tucks his tail* I... I'm sorry mom! I didn't mean to fall asleep! I was just exhausted! Puppies are a lot of work! Me: That's no excuse Jack, I expected better from you! Get this mess cleaned up! Jack: Yes Ma'am .... *Glares at puppies and starts cleaning up the mess grumpily while mumbling to himself.*
