Chapter 2: The Mail Delivery
All the Dogs were harnessed up and ready to go. It was only a small delivery this morning, only to a nearby town and back. Kodi didn't get the chance to talk to Dusty as she was behind him so he had to wait till they arrived at the new town. When they arrived, their musher decided to go into a nearby inn for a drink. He let the dogs off to walk around for a bit. The four friends walked over to a nearby stream to drink. Kodi decided to go and talk to Dusty.
"Hey there Dusty" he said.
"Oh hi" replied Dusty. "How are you doing?"
"Fine" replied Kodi.
"So uh, why did you come over and talk, i mean you totally can i was just.." she said as she laughed nervously, obviously flustered.
"Uh, you ok?" asked Kodi.
"Yeah, its just after i broke up with Ralph, i have been feeling quite lonely. I mean all the other females have a mate by now" she said. "Well your lucky, being a male its easier for you to decide to go solitary. For me its a lot harder" she sighed.
"Hey, i get it" said Kodi. "Your at the age when you kinda need a mate but with us males, its not really a need. But if you ever need help or advice, I'm always available."
"Thanks Kodi" she replied. "Your a really great friend."
They heard their musher call them from the sled. They ran over, got harnessed up and ran off back to Nome just as they sun fully came out in all its glory, covering the ground in a great light as they ran back home.
