I can't wait to run the Iditarod again! Me and my owner had been practicing for months and the race is tomorrow! All of this hard work is finally going to pay off!! Oh, sorry, I didn't introduce myself! My name is Snowy, Snow for short!! My owner, Shirley B. Hampton is a veteran, that means that we have ran the Iditarod many times and that we know the trail very well. Me and Shirley are packing up for the, we need to be!! I did my exercise and ate my food 1 I heard one my comrades growl in pain!! Me and Shirley rush to my comrade Racer’s side!!
Shirley discovered that he was sick and that he couldn't race! She said that it was okay and she was about to put me in a harness, when, Razor stood up and walked over to the side waiting to be hooked up! Shirley said “ If you want to do it this bad, you could do it!!!” So, I got hooked up and we got at the starting line and boom, we took off running like we have never run before! We were close when Shirley spotted a moose! we approached the most with, and a musher go past us! we took the same route he took and safely got past moose!!
Shirley came over and made sure that we were not hurt, then, we went on with the race!! We saw a musher up ahead, and we gained speed, we went past him and Shirley looked behind her, which was a mistake, because there was a tree right in front of us! I noticed it, and I went to the side, but, the sled tipped over, and Shirley fell out! Luckily, A musher came over. We all looked at Shirley and wondered what happened!!
Me and the rest of the team circled around Shirley and we were all feeling sad, when Shirley said something! We all “cheered!” We waited for Shirley to get up and when she did, she begin the race again!While I was running the race again, Shirley shouted “Gee” and I thought that she lost her mind, because it was a dead end!! I stopped myself, and Shirley came over for a closer look, and she saw the dead end and said “Thank you Snowy!!” I was very pleased!! I ran faster than ever, pushing through the snow to our victory!!!!!!
