Yesterday we volunteered as trail help at a pee-wee sled dog race here in Alaska. One of the young ladies racing the 3-dog course had a lead dog that was a tripawd! It was great to see the dog grins as they went by - they were quite speedy and the kiddo placed well with her team. Reminded me of Calpurnia and made me smile.
How awesome!
Did you run after the team and throw Tripawds.com cards or bandannas at them?

Awww....I know it was a special site to see that Tripawd so happy to br sledding!
And it may have been a way Cali, Bucky and Liam,and the rest of your Anvel Pack at the Bridge were saying "Hi Mom! We're still here!"
