Long may you run, my sweet Lolo

Lolo Land passed away in her sleep yesterday afternoon, March 16, 2016. Thank you, my perfect girl, for a wonderful, adventure-filled 16 years together. We had great fun right up until the end, didn’t we? We miss you… we’ll always love you… Romano, Jigs, Chloe, and Karen

Lolo, my once-Iditarod-lead-dog, now slinks along close behind me as my white shadow.
The last time Lolo and Borage were together here at the Martinsdale house, June 2013.

Congratulations to Dallas Seavey and his team… and to ALL of the 2016 Iditarod sled dogs and their mushers! What an exciting and inspiring race! Karen and Romano have enjoyed giving many Iditarod school and public library talks this season. Iditarod fans rock!
