next year if you had a choice of who your musher was who would it be?OH, I don’t choose a favorite musher or a favorite team… Good reporters try to keep those personal opinions out of it. Lots of Tail Wags, Zuma

to Gypsy,
who is your favorite musher?
And what breed of dog are you are you?
I’m friends with all the mushers and I don’t pick favorites. I’m a reporter and I need to be fair to everyone. I am a Siberian Husky. Thanks for writing. Gypsy

Hi Gypsy,
First of all how are you?
We have just a few questions: Where does your name come from, are you a mix or a pure breed, where is your family from, who is your musher, who are some of your fellow doggie, and will you write back to Meghan and Emily at Lansing Elemantary?
Hi Meghan and Emily, My whole litter was named after rocks and minerals. My real name is Gypsum. Gypsy is my nickname. I am a pure bred Siberian Husky. I live with my humans, my mom, my grandma, my brother and 5 other siberians. You can read more about me by going to

Dear Gypsy,
Here are a few questions for you.
Why did you choose to be a K-9 reporter?
Do you wear cloths like Libby or bandanas like Zuma?
What’s your favorite part about being a K-9 reporter?
Do you have a favorite musher in the 2009 Iditarod?
Why is your name Gyspy?
Are you friends with the other K-9 reporters?
From your friends in Lansing, New York,
Krista and Ellen
Hi Krista and Ellen, I’ll try to answer all your questions.
I love to wander and see new sights and meet new people. Being a K9 reported seemed like a good way to do that.
I don’t wear clothes or bandanas. I do have a beautiful blue harness that I love to wear.
I have so many friends out on the trail that I don’t pick favorites.
My real name is Gypsum. My litter was named after rocks. My humans nicknamed me Gypsy because I LOVE to wander. You can read more about me at: http://iditarodblogs.com/zuma/meet-the-reporters/who-am-i-gypsy/
All of the K9 reporters are friends.
Thanks for writing.
Gypsy

What is it like on the course
Hi, I’ve only run on trails near where I live. When there is no snow the trails are usually dirt trails. In the winter, we try to stay on packed snow trails. Gypsy
