Silver Heels,
Thanks for the info about "Boxing Day"! That
is absolutely fascinating!!! (with me being an "Anglophile" and all - I can never get enough info about my beloved "ENGl-u-n-d!!!")
Supaiblue,
No, I've never had the experience, yet, of riding in either a dog sled or a wheeled cart. We used to go to races where they had to use carts because of lack of snow. And
friends used to train with the carts along the Delaware Canal. What fun you must have had! Many people think of it as animal abuse,
but the dogs actually have it in their blood. They've been bred for centuries for
this task. Human survival depended on it. The dogs become wild with excitement when they know they're about to go on a run. These are extremely "hyper" animals!!!!!!!!
And I will never be able to hear "Whispers" without that vision in my minds eye. I think it would have made an awesome Lightfoot video!
