Dear Zuma, We are in a small kindergarten class from Coeur d’Alene, Idaho. We have been wondering if you have ever seen the northern lights in the sky. Can you tell us how those lights get up in the sky and why are they different colors? We think the northern lights look awesome and would love to see them sometime. Another question – how did you learn to do math? Can you add and subtract? Thanks for answering our questions. We love to read your Paw Prints. Paul and Ethan
Hello Students!
A big shout out to you and your classmates!
The northern lights are so beautiful. I love to stand outside and watch them dance across the sky. Sometimes you can almost hear them dance as their greens, yellows, reds, and blues mix and move across the sky.
Northern lights are hard to explain because they are very ’scientific’. It has to do with pieces of charged particles of the earth’s magnetosphere crashing into to atoms and molecules of the earth’s upper atmosphere. These particles become a trapped magnetic field of the solar wind. Oxygen and nitrogen in the air determine if the particles are seen as green, red, blue, or violet. The different gas in the atmosphere and the solar wind create the colors. It is all so ’scientific’ but it results in a beautiful display of colors. I hope you all get to see what I say is better than fireworks someday.
Lots of Tail Wags,
Zuma

Hi we’re three boys asking some questions, here they are.Was it tiring at the end of the race? Why did some people just stop in the middle of the race? Did anything happen to you or your racer?
Hope you respond.
How tired one is at the finish of the race depends on conditioning. Most dogs getting to Nome are so healthy that they would soon be ready to run again. People who stop in the middle of the race, ’scratch’, do so for lots of different reasons. Gypsy wrote a great article, “Scratch, Disqualify, or Withdrawn”. That article will help you learn more. Lots of Tail Wags, Zuma
