'Points Unknown' highlights the life of a sled dog lover

Here’s a woman who says she “married into sled dogs,” and when the marriage collapsed, the love affair with sled dogs blossomed. Read Linda Newman’s — aka Minnesotan real-estate appraiser, beeswax-candle maker and sled dog trainer/musher’s — blog.

    Hi Linda, I love the photo of you and your dogs too! I’m heading up to be part of a media team covering the start of the Iditarod this year and am VERY excited about this event. We’re working on doing a Mushing 101 program on Monday, March 8th, when we’re up in Wasilla. Maybe we’ll have the opportunity to meet up in Alaska! In the meantime I’m checking out your website to see about a 2011 mushing program with my two daughters. Do you do Christmas events for families as well? THANKS! Deb
