Hi Zuma!!!

Would vets rather the dogs run in the race or not in the race?
Julia and Gabby

Of course the veterinarians want the dogs running in the race! Although they love taking care of them at the checkpoints. These dogs are born, raised, and trained to race and pull sleds.

Hey Zuma, we might have a winner of the Iditarod tonight. I can’t wait to see who it will be. I think it will be Lance Mackey or Jeff King, but that is my opinion. My class is following and studying the Iditarod and we wonder who is going to win also. I heard that it is DeeDee Jonrowe’s twenty fifth time trying to win, I also that the closes she has goten was second, I want her to win. I also heard that there is a blind girl in it, but I can’t think of her name, it’s on the tip of my tongue. Anyways I have to go, I have to finesh up my piano.Bye Bye.

Hi Zuma -
I’m in Mrs. Kowal’s 1st grade class and I wanted to know if there are special dog treats that the dogs get while the are on the trails. From, Jeremy

Hello class. I’d say there are several great snacks, like fish and meat chunks. Yum, yum!

Hi from Memphis, Texas! We are wondering what it means to be a dropped dog. We know that some dogs don’t make it through the entire race. What happens to these dogs?

Thanks,
Mrs. Boles’ 2nd graders

Dogs that are ‘dropped’ or left at checkpoints become under the care of the veterinarians who are on the trail at each checkpoint. They take care of the dogs until the small planes arrive. Then the dogs go for a plane ride to either Nome or Anchorage.
