Siberian Huskies at the OlympicsIt took a long time, but the Olympics have finally decided to let the dogs in. No, we are not talking about Bode Miller and we are not talking about dogsledding as a winter sport at the Torino Games.
What happened is that Daron Rahlves, a member of the U.S. Ski Team, and his wife Michelle, have a Siberian Husky named Chevy. The dog is their constant companion so it's natural that he would go to Turin also. Since they are staying in a motor home outside the Olympic Village, there is enough room for the couple and dog and no one is complaining. Officially Chevy is not a member of the squad, but he has an authentic badge issued by the U.S. Olympic Committee with his dog grin picture on it and labeled "Chevy Rahlves -- Security/Skiing." Most of the time though, he gets through security gates and checkpoints with just the usual patented Husky face lick. Click on the picture for extra nose action.
Chevy tried to enter the giant slalom event last week but was kicked off when the Americans caught him fraternizing with the Swedish Babe Ski Patrol. That doesn't bother him much though - he's still got the same number of medals as that other guy Bode.

John,
Bode "Chunky Party Boy" is over the weight limit of the snow machine. If he had sled dogs, he'd eat them.
Anon,
Yes, it's in our genes.
