ChaCha.com recently sponsored a sled-dog whose name is, incidentally, ChaCha. She’s a five year old Uksi pup, mother of six, and she’s apparently really fast. Even though she’s smaller than the other dogs (she only weighs 40lbs), she’s more often than not leading the pack as she did when she finished the Iditarod last year. Her description says, “she’s very talented and has an ego to match… She’s a little girl with attitude.” Plus, she’s really cute as you can tell.
This coming weekend she’s racing the Kusko 300; a 300 mile race through the Alaskan mountain range near Denali. Then she’s racing the Iditarod Trail, which is a 1,149 miles long, this March. The picture of her to the right is from last year’s Iditarod after she had already completed 1,000 of those miles.
I’ll keep you posted on her, especially come March when she’s running the Iditarod. Go here to learn more about her and her teammates. Go here to learn about her owners and their Kennel.
My kids and I follow a musher every year for school- through the eitiderod project- I guess we know who we will follow this year!
There is a nice post about your service at http://corporaterat.blogspot.com/2007/01/why-artificial-intelligence-if-you-can.html
Nice idea, I wasn’t aware of your solution.
That is so cute. It’s nice to see how the company is really branching out to make a name for itself. This here is very unconventional and unique, which is why I like it so much.
Chacha is a funky name for a dog!
