  • What a wonderful team!!!

    WOOF, WOOF!!! And woof!!! to you Aliy, the heroine of the Yukon!!!
    (And not just the Quest or even the Iditarod.)

    And it is so good to see the four-legged athletes wagging their tails as they finish 10 days on the trail!!!

    Thank you for letting us all share this fantastic experience! Sincerely,

  • Although the video on the Iditarod Insider was really good, and gave her a lot of video time as the 2nd finisher, this is the one that moved me to tears.

    Our team!

  • How thrilling to reach the arch! Tears and cheers all around. Your race was awesome – girl power at its finest. You are a great role model for all aspiring young mushers and dog lovers. Thanks for the thrills this past week. Did you hear us cheering in Maryland?

  • I love your spirit Aliy. Following you from SD and am so happy to see you on the video today! Congratulations! I love to see you greet each dog as you arrive. Your heart is tender and your spirit is strong!

  • CONGRATULATIONS, ALIY!

    What an amazing effort! I watched every video of you from this race. You are a very gracious competitor. No matter how tired you were and no matter how much you wanted to just get about the business of caring for your dogs and yourself, you always had time to talk and smile. I loved that picture of the girl asking you for your autograph. She looked so thrilled to be with you. And that one video of the elderly Alaskan native…her pride in what you were doing was priceless.

    You are awesome, Aliy…a true champ.

  • Aliy & SP kennel athletes,
    Even though I couldn't be in Nome this year to watch your incredible
    2nd place finish, please know that we were there with you in spirit. You go girl!!! We are so proud of you and the 4 legged kiddos and very proud to be an SP Kennel sponsor. Please make sure that all of the 4 legged kiddos get lots of hugs and kisses from Blossom and I. She is sitting here with me now listening to the noise from the chute video with her ears up.
    Congratulations from Reading, PA. Truly awesome race and a truly awesome team!
