Nature's Kennel (Stielstra) puppies!!!

Karen Ramstead and fan Pat Brighton. Karen was one of the keynote speakers and Wonder, who seems fascinated by something off-camera, accompanied her.

Karen and Ann Marinoni.

Okay, Karen, who or what was Wonder finding so darn fascinating to your right?

Since Tasha has announced it in public, I can now let everyone in a secret, Ed Stielstra, left, won't be running the Iditarod this year because he needs to be home with Tasha for a run to the maternity ward! If all goes well, Baby Stielstra should be entering this world about the time the Iditarod is finishing up in Nome. Congratulations, Tasha and Ed!!!
