If I get there I'd like to do my 24 hours at Unalakleet. If I don't get there I'll pick a place tomorrow I suppose.
Day 6: Loam wants to help. Truffle and Harrison got into an argument over which of the two of them was the biggest ladies man. Truffle said being faithful made him the best ladiesman. Harrison said at least he had ladies. Naturally, Truffle was offended and tackled him. Of course Loam was like, GUYS STAAAAAHP YOU SHOULDN'T FIGHT WE NEED TO GET TO UNALAKETEEETTEEE. In case you're wondering, it all sounded like woofs and barks, but I've learnt to understand certain dialects of dog. It's a useful skill when you're a teeny tiny six foot nine Bird. 'Cause ya know, dogz keep the catz at bay. Birds don't like to get eaten by catz. Anyway. I thought Loam was being helpful until I saw she was trying to cut Harrison loose so he wouldn't get hurt by an angry truffle. I inhaled and chirped STAPH as loud as I could. They... they weren't very impressed... In fact Loam was the only one to hear me... But when Rue said and I quote:"Ow, all this fighting makes my bowels hurt." They all stopped simultaneously and apologized. Problem solved *breathes* Then I sang the rest of the way:" "

Whew, still running fairly strong. I put Taylor on the sled until the next stop where I hug him goodbye as I send him to get vet treatment while we continue. Fortunately, Ice runs well as a wheel dog, so I move him back. I also treat Jet's paw with each of my breaks in hopes that it gets better soon (unless I need to put him on the sled for that - sorry, not sure what a cracked paw means).
Upon arriving in Unalakleet, I take my 24-hour rest and spend the time treating Jet's paw and just hanging with the dogs, getting some good food and spending time with friends (HI BIRD!).

Day 6: Puck is pulled onto the sled, no point in making the virus worse. We decide to chance it and keep our stats the same as yesterday - full steam ahead!

I'm assuming I got all 8 hours of that rest done?
I'm going to push hard today. A little resting and pacing but mostly just hard running

Day 7 Accident Report Aspen Grove - You've been officially abducted by the DG Sled race cheering section!!! Blackbird - Sheepy and Kaori both came down with diarrhea. -1 endurance for both. Borealis - You ate snow! Thankfully you landed in a hill of powder, so nothing was broken, but whew, that was close! Insanity - Blaze chewed himself free. Thankfully he didn't wander far, and you were able to grab him. But he came back with a broken foot. He will need to be dropped. Lighthouse - I passed an Andrew in the wild, and stopped to talk to him. Delay 1 hour. Nightshade - Rose broke her foot and must be dropped. Thor - Billy and Toto got into it, but thankfully no injuries. Lucky's foot still looks really bad, however, Gunnar's injuries are starting to heal up.
Standings Borealis Lighthouse Blackbird Nightshade Thor Insanity
Rests Taken Bird - 13 hours of your 24. Take 11 hours off tomorrow to complete your 24 Thor - 14 hours of your 24, take 10 hours off tomorrow.
@emmer - I couldn't give you a 24, you're in a weird place between checkpoints. You will reach Unalakleet tomorrow to start resting.

Thor Day 8: I'm noticing that bird has stopped calling me out because I think she feels sorry for my team now ahahaha-- (and she's also passed me so I guess I'm not a threat anymore) but don't count me out/ feel bad for me just yet! I'm not that far behind ya'll ;) And I seem to be avoiding the plague of poor food ya'll have been feeding upon your dogz :P I'm hoping this rest will bring my dogz spirits up and maybe they can have a safe, accident-free journey til the end :)
