Hi my name is Lock, I’m part of the Nightmare Crew. We are named after the Tim Burton movie “Nightmare Before Christmas” We live up to our names! At the end of the season last year we started training on the sled. I’m still not sure that I like running on frozen lakes or overflows. Last season while running on one of the lakes there was some open water and I got pretty freaked out. I was running with Ms. Michele and she literally reached over the sled and scooped me into the basket while we were still running because I slipped my collar out of fear of the water. She secured me in the basket and once we got off the lake she put me back on the line and I ran home. Now I still am nervous around open water but I’m learning this fall that puddles are okay.

Shock
Hi my name is Shock, I’m part of the Nightmare Crew. We are named after the Tim Burton movie “Nightmare Before Christmas” We live up to our names! At the end of the season last year we started training on the sled. On my second time out with Ms. Michele, she took a chance on me and put me in lead with Ringo ( a veteran of Team Ineka) I ran in lead for 6 miles and I had a blast!
Shock is one of the main leaders of Team Ineka. She is a veteran of two Junior Iditarods on Nicoles team. She is also the mom to the new pups in the kennel, the four brothers known as the WaG Crew.

I have been running on the A Team since I was a pup. I like to run in wheel with my mom, Rasp and enjoy running fast in the dryland races too.
Barrel
Hi, my name is Barrel. I am part of the Nightmare Crew. We are named after characters in the movie, The Nightmare Before Christmas.
I am only a year and a half old and I hope to run on the A team this year in all the races here in the Valley. I am not big enough to go on the Yukon Quest 300 with Robert. There are too many mountains!
I have overcome a lot in my short mushing career. I had an injury to my leg and just the other day I got the tip of my ear bit off by one of my team-mates, Aussie. That’s okay though my favorite vet, Dr. Dent takes really good care of all of us so I just count my scars as badges of courage!
I like running with my brother Burton the best but I can run just about anywhere except lead right now. Maybe some day.
If you would like to sponsor an up-and-coming star I would really like that.
