Go to the Learn About tab on www.iditarod.com and then Click Veterinary Center and then click the article at the bottom of the page, What is a Sled Dog?, by Stuart Nelson, Jr., DVM. I put the link below for you to follow. Even if you dog doesn't meet those criteria, you and your dog can still have lots of fun playing around together. Playing with your dog will help to make sure your dog is healthy because your pet will get lots of exercise. Enjoy your time together! Lots of Tail Wags, Zuma http://www.iditarod.com/learn/vet-14.html Hello Nicole,

It's that kid from Ms. Belles class. When the Iditarod is over, do the dogs get to go on a vacation? Did you ever race in the Ididarod, Gypsy? If you did, I hope it was fun! love, your friend Alec. <em>Hi Alec, The dogs will go back to their kennels and rest some over the summer.

You must be a very smart dog to be able to write on a keyboard. I typically draw pictures and write poetry about tugboats, but today I wrote two iditarod poems. Skys are blue, Ice is cold, and Polar Bears are free to roam the next one is: Sled dogs pull sleds, Mushers mush Through the Iditarod they go Some dogs have white paws And some have black Some need booties and others don't But they all ride on the Iditarod trail Veterans know it well All mushers are good but Lance Mackey is my favorite! I am so excited that Lance Mackey won, what type of truck did he win? Your great friend, Anson <em>Hi Anson, The poems are great. Keep writing and drawing pictures. Gypsy</em> Hi Gypsy,
This is Anson again. You must be a very smart dog to be able to write on a keyboard. I typically draw pictures and write poetry about tugboats, but today I wrote two iditarod poems.

Skys are blue,
Ice is cold,
and Polar Bears are free to roam

the next one is:

Sled dogs pull sleds,
Mushers mush
Through the Iditarod they go
Some dogs have white paws
And some have black
Some need booties and others don’t
But they all ride on the Iditarod trail
Veterans know it well
All mushers are good but Lance Mackey is my
favorite!

I am so excited that Lance Mackey won, what type of truck did he win?

Your great friend,
Anson

Hi Anson,
The poems are great. Keep writing and drawing pictures. Gypsy
