Today is the day! Paddle is leaving her home of Grand Forks,Nd. Paddle is in her best shape ever and is prepared for her new journey. I hope Paddle stays strong even when she gets beat down. I dream Paddle will encounter many new and amazing animals and explore the changing environments. Paddle may be lonely and scared along the way. She may encounter harsh colds, or dreadful heats. Throughout her journey I hope people will find her, fix her if she is beat, and continue her on her journey to Hudson Bay! Paddle is strong, she is long, and she can sing songs to help her get along!
