Congratulations to Moonpie who has just become a sponsored dog!
Mona Frederick recently contacted us to say that she is planning to attend the Iditarod for the first time this year. In the process of preparing herself, she has become a big fan of SP Kennel and really appreciates all that she learns here on the Dog Log.
We like hearing that, and we really love it when people are inspired to participate in the Kennel and support the Team. Mona wrote, “Given that I live in Nashville, it just seems that Moonpie calls out for a southern sponsor!” and we were very happy to hook her up with the fine young lad right away.
Mona asked that we hold off announcing Moonpie’s new sponsorship until after Christmas so that she could share his dog sponsor kit — including his unique Iditarod tag from last year! — as a present to her family. We were delighted to help make the new relationship a family affair.
When I went out in the dog yard and announced Moonpie’s new sponsorship, the dogs all gave a happy howl for the big, lovable guy. Even his sister Li’l Debbie — who has been taunting him for weeks now about becoming a sponsored dog before him — said, “It’s about time, he really deserves to be appreciated!”
As for Moonpie’s reaction, well, it was pretty much what you would expect from the focused, hard working hunk. “That’s great! When do we get to go run?” It’s not that he doesn’t appreciate your sponsorship, Mona, it’s just that he’s 100% sled dog. Later, after a 50 mile run, he told me that he’s looking forward to seeing you in Anchorage!
Congratulations to Moonpie and the Cameron/Frederick family as y’all embark on a long and rewarding relationship!
(Not a dog sponsor yet? Well, you’re in luck! A few of our fantastic dogs are still available for sponsorship. Just email us — SPKDogLog@gmail.com — to tell us which dog inspires you to embark on a truly “insider” experience in the life of an SP Kennel Alaskan Husky sled dog!)
Even tho I sponsor Bullet , I love Moonpie too, so I'll cheer for him, too. He looks like Skinny.
Congratulations Moonpie! You are a very deserving dog, and I'm glad to see you now have a sponsor!
As a big fan of the Cameron/Frederick family, I want to congratulate Moonpie on his excellent choice of sponsor. 🙂 There will be many of us checking in from afar (um, make that very, very afar…) and cheering for the dogs from SPKennel!
