Have fun and cu l8r!<\/p>\n<p>* disclaimer &#8211; this sledge is actually my friend&#8217;s, Pipi&#8217;s. But she is not using it ALL the time, so me Pipi and Sipsik made a deal that (reads): &#8220;Other people (or animals &#8211; very important!) can also use the sledge &#8211; for sledging purposes only &#8211; when Pipi, or Sipsik (or their friends) are not using it at the moment.&#8221; so, it means that even my friend Angel could use it.
