We are working on cleaning up all the chores for the 2001 race because it is time to start getting ready for the 2002 race. The humans who make the decision announced the new 2002 Teacher on the Trail. Her name is Kimberly, but she said I could call her Kim. She lives way down in Missouri in a town called Wildwood. Kim teaches 2nd graders and even is teaching them to use computers.
Dogs have a real hard time turning down tummy rubs.
While she was rubbing my tummy, we talked a bit and she told me that she as been in several foreign countries and that she taught school in Siapan. She likes to do adventurous things like the time she climbed Half Dome in Yosemite National Park. She also hiked across Italy one time, has visited Finland, Sweden, England and Japan as well as having traveled extensively in the United States. I was really impressed with her knowledge of places I will never get to see. She also told me that she is getting married this summer.
