Do we have any regular "Dog Musher's" here?
Particularly any "Blind Dog Musher's"?
Only I saw this....
Rachael Scdoris, a blind American dog musher and cross country runner
WTF is a "dog musher"? Is it recommended to be blind if one does this?
I am having horrific thoughts about the "blind works" in my local town being a room full of blind factory workers forcing dogs into meat mincing machines!

It's probably running dogs.
In tv programmes, cartoons etc when you see huskies pulling a sled the typical thing shouted at them is mush.
So, there's a blind person who uses his blind dog to do cross country running.

Jack London, "The Call of the Wild" (http://london.sonoma.edu/Writings/CallOfTheWild/chapter1.html)
Being a blind dog musher is not recommended.

That's a pretty grim imagination you have, CannonFodder :lol:

Metalman/vince hit the nail on head, dog mushing is dog sledding. The 'driver' of a dog team is AKA a musher. It's a thrill to drive such a sled, although it can be incredible smelly. The team doesn't stop because one of them happens to need to take a dump ;-).
-edit-
Blind? Huh? How the hell does she navigate...

No, no. "Dog mushing" is where you take two puppies (one in each hand) by the scruff of the neck (so they go limp), then slowly crash them together and then let them go and watch the confusion. Great fun. We used to do it as kids. This can also be done with kittens.
She's a little old for "dog mushing" though. Somebody should tell her it's time to stop.

Though I may jest, in truth I'd be absolutely gutted if I killed someone's pet. Can you imagine how much of a tw@t you'd feel having run over some kid's cat/dog/rabbit/whatever? :-(
-
Depends what dog it is.
If it is one of those irritating yappers that barks incessantly and keeps you awake, I say run the fukka over and get the kid some Pokemon cards :-P

:lol:
I know a dog like that. Thankfully I never see it anymore.
Ultra-mega-hyper doesn't describe it enough.

Oooh novel idea, sex on a moving dogsled!
And look at those boots, imagine the socks she wears in them!

odin: Easy now... or you will end up blind!
:-D
MUSH!

That picture reminds me of a joke.
A shoe-shine guy was very pleased to get an elegant lady customer one day.
She sat down and he started shining her boots. He happened to look up and noticed that this lady was wearing nothing under her skirt. He could clearly see her do-you-mind.
Upon catching sight of it, and realising the fine quality of it, he remarked to the woman that he could "eat that full of ice-cream"
Well, the woman was furious. She went home and told her husband what had happened, including the remark about the ice-cream. She demanded that he go and set the shoe-shine boy straight.
The husband declined.
"Firstly," he said, "I'm not in such good shape and the shoe-shine boy might beat me up. Secondly, and more importantly, he is obviously just joking around, because nobody can eat that much ice-cream."

I'm already blind on one side :-D.
