I chose Dallas Seavey as my musher to follow during the Iditarod.  He is a veteran musher from Virginia.  He is a third generation musher who grew up helping his dad with the dogs.  He ran the Junior Iditarod four times.  He is a high school state champion, a Junior Iditarod champion, and was the 2005 world champion.  I chose this musher because he is fast, so it will be a challenge for me to read faster to keep up with him!

Meeting a real musher was wonderful for us.  The first thing I saw was some cute huskies and the wooden sled.  I really liked how the sled moved.  The huskies’ fur was so soft, and it made me want to have one.  I couldn’t wait until we got to pet the dogs!  The wooden sled was cool, and it was very big.  The dogs had silky fur, and they had a good nose.  I loved them, and I want to do the Iditarod too.  It was fun, and the dogs were so cute.  I especially liked getting to pull the sled.  Thank you, Mrs. Guertin, for letting us see your dogs!
