School kids and sled dogs – what a combination!

Happy the Sled Dog and I visited Badger Elementary School in North Pole, Alaska one morning this spring. We told stories about the Iditarod and the Yukon Quest and talked about overcoming hardships in order to reach your goals. Of course, we also talked about caring for dogs and how to stay warm in the winter.

Happy and I hope that we are invited to visit, as well as skype, with more schools later this year.

  • I have been wondering about happy! My 3rd graders and I created our own version of the happy dance! We do it every day to remember what Happy taught us.

  • Hi dustyllr!

    Any chance we could get a video of your 3rd graders doing their Happy Dance! Please drop me an email and let's see if we can work it out… It would be great to post and share with everyone!

    Also, stay tuned for new Happy stuff soon!

  • Happy! So nice to see you again!! ~ You're looking as lovely as ever. Wish you could come visit my boy's school in the beautiful Catskill Mountains so we could give you a hug and a kiss. Looking forward to hearing more about you (and your friend Beemer too ~ he is such a sweet boy).
