Rosies Dog Sled Team in Quebec, then New York

Dear Rosies,

We love seeing our reports on your website and Facebook! Woo hoo! Attached are a couple more pictures of the gals in their Rosies!

This weekend the kennel traveled across the border to Woburn, Quebec and raced in sub-zero conditions. We were the only American team. It was our most outstanding success of the season. Lis won the exceptionally competitive 8 dog pro class besting a very well known Canadian racer, Lou Serre, with a team of yearlings, which is basically unheard of. The course was out and back, meaning that there is a great deal of head on passing. Grace and Lily held their own in a huge competitive field of seasoned Canadians, Grace getting a blistering 3rd, and Lily in her first 6 dog pro, in 6th. These gals were the youngest drivers. This week the kennel heads to Massena, New York.

Love the pink!

Take care,

Diane

Myopia Sled Dog Races Update:

Dear Rosies, 

Here’s an update on our latest race, the Myopia Sled Dog Races. They were in our home town with thousands of spectators, tv coverage, and a great deal of newspaper coverage, including the Boston Globe! We had another super weekend – Lily came in 2nd in the 4-dog professional class against a number of adults, Grace came in 3rd in the 6-dog pro, and Lis 2nd in the 8-d0g pro. I won the 2-dog skijor event. Lots of people came to the dog truck and we had our coveralls on while working around the dog since it was warm. 

Attached are a few pictures! Lis has the best pedal we have ever seen – over her head! How are the winter coveralls coming along? 

Best regards, 

Diane 

PS: The main force of the kennel, Scott Bailey, wishes Rosies would make mens gear, but I keep telling him that Rosies is for GALS!!!
