Iditarod continues in this house

[adella]

Several months ago as I was walking one of my Siberians, a young lady stopped her car and asked if I knew anything about the Iditarod. She said she had looked for a husky several years ago to invite to her preschool as she was doing a unit on the Iditarod. Well today she came to our door and asked if we would be interested in bringing one of our dogs to her school.
So Czar, our male, is going to school to meet her class. He absolutly loves people and will love every minute of it. This should be a lot of fun. He is such a ham.
I am also going through major withdrawl with the race almost being over. So this will help.

Yeah!!! You get to keep doing the Iditarod!

I am so sad it's almost over, but at least we have the sweepstakes.

Adella, That's so cool you get to do that! Have a great time, the kids will be so pleased.
Might make the race more real to them.

Oh, what great fun, Adella! And you'll be able to relive some of the great moments of the past couple of weeks as you share some Idita-stories I know what you mean about race withdrawal. I feel it, too. And how much more the mushers must (forgive the clumsy alliteration I was just reading Jon Little's article about Sam Deltour's emotion at finishing and leaving behind this amazing experience. I can so relate to that! Have fun at school with Czar!

I said in another post on another thread, several days ago, that I felt so empty after Lance and Jeff had finished the race. There are probabely many of us who know exactly what you mean when you talk about race withdrawal.
I am already looking forward to next years race. Thinking about who will enter, what will the weather and trail conditions be like, which of the Iditabuddies will be there and so on and so on.

On the positive side, there are only about 350 days to the start of Iditarod 2009
