Springtime at the kennel brings warm temperatures and sunny skies. It also brings the melt! Nearby fields and lower lying parts of the kennel disappear under a few inches of water as we wait for both the ground the river to thaw to take all the water away. The road out of the kennel is a little treacherous but at least the underside of the truck gets a good clean each time!

We utilise the dog barn and higher pens for those dogs that are getting soggy feet. Mud is the order of the day so we’ve replaced our warm insulated boots for rubber boots and our warm pants and jackets for waterproof bibs and T-shirts. It won’t take long for the water to drain away but in the meantime everything looks a little brown.
Wow, the beginning of breakup all ready. Keep those fabulous dogs dry. And all of SPK crew stay out of the mud as much as you can.
Need an SP Kennel Boat?????
Wow…and I thought an Adirondack mud season was bad but you folks win the prize…what a messy time of year!! Sending dry wishes your way!!
Well, once the mud goes away it will play and frolic time – Alaska is beautiful in any season!
Thanks so much for this video!!!
