Hi Boys and Girls,

Th snow-dogs-025.jpg e race is just 2 weeks away.  I’m so excited.  Have you picked your musher yet?  I’d love to hear who you picked and why.  Do you know that you can write to us and ask questions or tell us something about you or the race?  Well you can and this is how you can do it.  To email us, go to:   http://iditarodblogs.com/zuma/email-the-k-9-reporters/    or under the blog posts you can click on ‘add a comment”.   We’d love to hear from all of you.

To help you ask the best questions and get a quick answer, I have decided to share a few tips with you.  Please remember these when writing to us.

Look around the Iditarod site or the zuma paw prints blog and see if you can find the answer to your questions.  A few places you can try are:

Your question may be answered by a different K9 reporter than you wrote to.  During the race we are really busy reporting on the race.  We take turns answering emails and blog comments.  Since we want you to get an answer as soon as possible, whoever is answering mail will answer your letter.

Please give us a day or two to answer your questions.  For the next few weeks we will be receiving hundreds of emails and blog comments every day.  We don’t want to give rushed answers so it takes time.  We will answer all the mail we receive.

FOR TEACHERS:  when you send us a class email or blog comment, please make sure your students do not add their last names or private email addresses.  While we monitor all mail before it is posted, it’s better not to include this information.

We can’t wait to read all your comments and questions.  We love mail.  In fact, I’m off to answer some questions from Stanford Avenue School in Oroville, CA.

Happy trails and have fun writing.  I can’t wait to hear from you.
