Dear Zuma,
This is Mrs. Van Egmond’s 3rd grade class at West Side Christian School in Grand Rapids, MI. We are following the Iditarod Race and we have some questions for you:
How did you learn how to type? I learned to type by practice, practice, practice.
How did you meet D-2? I meet fur friends and human friends where ever I go. I have many, many friends!
Do you have a new boyfriend? I keep my paws to the key board and my mind on the race. I don’t have a boy friend.
Have you talked to any dropped dogs? I try to howl around with all the dogs that come in from the trial.
Do other dogs read your letters? Oh, yes. I hope you read the articles at Zuma’s Paw Prints so you meet my friends.
Do you ever want to race? Oh, no. I am a K-9 Reporter. Not a racing dog.
Do you like reporting about the Iditarod? I do like reporting on the race.
Thanks for answering our questions!
Thanks for writing. I hope that you take time to learn more about me by reading the articles at Zuma’s Paw Prints. We’ve many stories to share with you.
Sincerely,
The 3rd graders
Lots of Tail Wags,
Zuma

How fast can Libby run?
Oh, I can run fast, but I’d rather spin in circles. Remember, I am not a racing dog. I am a reporter! Libby
i think that the iditarod should keep going
who do you think will win this years iditarode and why
There are so many good mushers this year that I have no idea who will win. We’ll just have to watch and see what happens.
who is the strongest dog of sebations scheunlle
I don’t know the answer to this. When the race is over, maybe you can write Sebastian and ask him.
whoo is your favorite musher
I don’t have a favorite musher. I follow all of them.
Why is there two starting lines?
The ceremonial start is on Sat. It is a time for fans to meet with the mushers and their teams. The teams only travel 11 miles and have an Iditarider in their sled. It’s just a fun day. On Sunday there is the restart. This is when the race actually starts. You can read more about the start and restart on the blog.
