Sled Dog Sendoff Celebration

Last evening we had our final local fundraising event before we depart for fall training...a Sled Dog Sendoff Celebration! It was tons of fun, as I'm sure the dogs who got to come would agree. I brought a "whole Iditarod team" -- 16 of the dogs from the kennel, and they were well appreciated, photographed and lots of pets to go around for everyone.

All the local support from folks in the Klamath Basin is a huge boost for the team, both financially and emotionally as we prepare to take on this ultimate challenge! Wow...folks are really interested, and we got to share lots of stories as well as a sneak peak at our Iditarod sled which I'd just picked up. Knowing we have all this wonderful support, so many people following us and rooting for us -- how can we possibly not get it done?! We will!!!
