Woof,Woof!!

Dad told me that there was a dog named Smiley running to Nome in this year`s Iditarod Trail Sled Dog Race. The dog is one of musher Melanie Gould`s leaders. Dad and I are big fans of the Iditarod and dog mushing in general,so it`s really exciting that a dog with my name is running in the race. Best wishes to you,Smiley!! Hope you make it all the way to Nome.

Dad`s taking me back to Alaska in Sept and we plan to hike the Kesugi Ridge trail in Denali State Park near Talkeetna. When I`m out on the trail with my dogpack I get a sense of the adventure that sled dogs experience on a regular basis!

Dreaming of Alaska,
