How do the dogs in the Iditarod ever survive? Seems I remember hearing that the dogs bury themselves in the snow while not working, to help retain heat.

Snow is a good insulator.

Ya, I remember. You married into it. I remember being very frustrated in school when they said we had to learn C and it was neer impossible for me. I guess its just as hard for you .

There are bales of straw, food and dog coats at the check points in the Iditarod race. The driver will spread straw for dogs to lay on after feeding and placing coats. The dogs are also fitted w/ boots to run the race.
They don't work on me at all. I have mag citrate but i was hoping to avoid the bad diarrhea it causes.
While running they are more likely to overheat than get cold. Dehydration would be a risk.
Yay for me! I got the front of the rabbit cage done. Now i need to cut the rest of the wind block plywood, attach feeders and waterers. Then move it to the bunny yard and put the roof on. Excited to get that accomplished. Our high today was around 59°. We are in for some warm weather!
