encouragement to do things that she would rarely do. When my girlfriend is scared to do something, I make her more scared to do it because I would do or say something to scare her even more. For Example, in a scene, Noah tries to convince Allie to get in the water with her with gentle words of encouragement. My girlfriend is afraid and doesn’t know how to swim so I put her on my back and locked her legs on my side and made her swim with me even without asking or encouraging her saying “it’s…

Although, these critics claim over 115 dogs died, during the three decades of this race. At the same time, the Iditarod committee forbids “cruel or inhumane treatment of dogs.” Anyone who has been convicted of animal cruelty, and/or animal neglect, is disqualified from being a musher in the Iditarod.

Spending the night was always something common for me to do at my grandparents’ house. On this particular morning it was extremely cold outside. Not the type of cold where you just might want to put on two big jackets. It was the type of cold that made you want to cringe; even the whistle of the wind was harsh to your eardrums.
