I am very late to the party, but fell in love with your dogs (and family) on instagram sometime in the last year. Pepe leading the start absolutely gave me some feels. Go Q!
Can’t wait to show the kids tomorrow. Luckily we caught him at the start but then it froze. Not before they heard me freak out with joy at seeing Pepe. They cheered! ❤️
Now I understand why I didn't recognize many of the dogs, they're borrowed. Glad they're all getting the chance to do what huskies do best, no matter which human is with them 🥰
How does it work if a dog needs to drop from the team partway through? Like if Pepe makes it to a checkpoint and decides that's enough. Does another dog replace her or do you just shuffle things around and run with one less dog?
You cannot add dogs once the race starts. Dogs can be “dropped” at official checkpoints. They’re taken care of by vets and volunteers and flown out to Anchorage usually. Not sure where they’ll be flown this year since the start is in Fairbanks.

So excited!!!
I love the little sleepy sledboo.
I knew Boo wasn't racing anymore but thought Q might have brought him along for the ride?
No matter.
Boo makes me happy.
