At the end of the day, what matters most is the dogs.
Aliy and Moira took a couple teams out for a stretch-out today on the local trails. As you see there’s still plenty of snow and it was simply gorgeous!
Aliy’s team was: Scout and Nacho, Schmoe and Scooter, Mac and Junior, Outlaw and Boondocks, Nelson and Willie, Felix and Sissy.
Moira’s team was: Waylon and Lydia, Izzy and Mismo, Pepe, Biscuit and Wedgy
Awesome pic

Thank you for posting such beautiful pictures. Yes, the dogs are most important, and they are blessed to have you, Aliy and your whole crew!

Amen to what matters most!!

Thank you. I was suffering from Iditarod withdrawal, feel much better now.
Beautiful! Snowshoed today in Breckenridge with my snow loving dog and it looked much the same. Wish we had been sledding 🙂
Sweet run! Yay Wedgy!
Beautiful snow, and even more beautiful dogs. Thanks for the pictures.
Thank you so much for the update!!! Indeed, the dogs are the centerpiece for everything!!! Much love!!! 🐾🐾🐾🐾❤️❤️❤️❤️
Thanks so much as some others have noted already for the beautiful pictures of Spring in Alaska!
And also for this reminder of your beautiful dogs at work in the sun and snow.
Best,

Thank you, I have completely enjoyed watching the YQ and ID and the teams! How in the world do you decide who to take and pair with whom on any given run? Really enjoy your photos and videos from Colorado.
Beautiful. Looks like so much fun I am green with envy!!!
Absolutely stunning photos.
Thank you!
I'm so glad you have some excellent weather to enjoy running your dogs.
I have a feeling your dogs are happiest, when you're happy.
🙂
Priorities……you're doing it right 🙂 you guys rock!
It is really nice that you want to have a long term relationship with your dogs.
You got that right!!! Enjoy the snow while it lasts!
Your title for this thread said it all!!!
Thank you for showing the dogs. I check this site almost daily. I love hearing about the dogs. I didn't know, for example, that Scout was so serious until Aliy mentioned it.
Aliy, Allen, and the whole SPK Team: I'm sure everyone is glad to be back home in Two Rivers. You've given Junior's sponsors great memories this racing season. We look forward to showing off her Iditarod and Yukon Quest 300 dog tags to all our friends. Much love from all of us, Cliff Michel & Family
Yeah doggies having fun 😄👏🐾🐾 great photos wish we were there …….Enjoy ! Cheers from Melbourne , Australia woof woof from Denali 🐾🐾
Oh, so beautiful! Thanks for sharing!
Wish I could be up there to run a team and stretch their legs as well. In my Dreams!
Thanks so much for the fabulous photos. The dogs are so lucky to be in SP kennel. Mush on.
NEVER will get enough pictures and stories of the wonderful dawgs and their people of SP Kennel!
Sigh….'at the end of the day'…. Aliy, Allen, all SP Kennel 2-leggeds…you again show what champions you are by that simple statement. Yes, the dogs matter most – and how you all have included them in your 'wild and precious' lives. Thank you for the gorgeous pics.
Arm chair mushers:
Is Aliy your hero?
Do you wish Iditarod lasted longer?
Did you shed a few tears during ID?
We aren't the only ones!
