I don’t know about you, but I am so sick of turning on my computer lately. It seems like the only thing news sites are talking about are the tragic events happening all over the world lately and politics. It’s draining, and I thank my lucky stars I don’t watch cable tv.
But then I read a story this morning about a tiny stray dog that decided to crash an extreme 155 mile race in the Gobi desert and it’s had me smiling ever since. The dog {which has been appropriately re-named Gobi} followed one of the runners and ran alongside him for 77 miles of the 155 mile race!!! Can you believe that? The race took place over 7 days and on day 2 and 3 the dog ran both 25 mile legs. {I can’t even get Lucy to run 1 mile, let alone 25 on back to back days}.
Anywho, after a little bit of crowdfunding on the part of the runner, Gobi will be moving to Scotland to join him just as soon as she has been medically checked, quarantined and cleared for entry. Wahooo! Way to go you sweet little pup.
We need more stories like this.
Have an awesome friday everyone.
