Iditarod 2008 came to an end yesterday as Aliy crossed under the burled arch at 10:10 pm. She finished in 21st position. We are very happy to have her here in Nome.
Little ROSEmary, Rosie for short, was so happy to see all the people. She was barking at everyone who came out to see the team come in. She even greeted the wooden Nomes just out of the city with “hello” barks.
Aliy was not very talkative about the race after she learned Allen was already here, so stories will come later. Allen is doing much better now that he is out of the cold and getting some fluids.
I hope to have pictures and stories up later today.
Congratulations Aliy! Hope Allen feels better soon. Jenn says lots of fluids, I say those fluids should be whiskey & coke, You’ll feel better or won’t care, either way yuo’re better off! Really though we do hope you recover soon Allen. Aliy it was great being able to “watch” you on the GPS.

Ohio relatives are very proud of you Aliy! We loved watching the race on the internet and appreciated Kaz’s postings and being able to get the RSS feeds. Hope Allen is feeling much better. We kept Aunt Mary and Uncle Sam posted. Jack & Jenny Zirkle
