Congratulations to Meghan for taking out the Rookie of the Year AND the Vet Care Award at the Percy prizegiving last night.
We’re really delighted for Meghan for winning both of those awards; she should be really proud of herself. The Vet Care Award is something mushers strive for and although WE know she always takes such great care of all the dogs, it is fantastic for it to be publicly recognised. Well done lady!
Meghan, Josh and the team are on their way back from Dawson now and we’ll see them sometime later this evening.

Ditto to all comments above!!!
The outtake was so very dear.well deserved kiss for Scruggs, who was up front, I think, the whole time!!!
The purple anorak with fur was a nice gift – I looked it up:

That a way Scruggs, sneak a kiss while she's close.
No kidding, "Rookie of the Year!"
Meghan almost overtook the 2007 2nd place, 2009 3rd place finisher. The only others in front of her at the finish had multiple finishes in 1st and/or 2nd place.
I believe any year but 2003, Meghan's run time would have been fast enough for first place.
Fantastic! Great job Meghan, very nice prizes. Vet award speaks well of the love and care you shower on the SPK athletes. The purple of the anorak is gorgeous, just tell Aliy to pretend it's red or black….
RE: Color of prize…
I'd call the color RED VIOLET – so it is an outfit to wear when mushing for the RED TEAM which includes FIRE litter's…VIOLET!!!
Excellent job Meghan! Very well deserved awards! You are a 'natural' at mushing. … what's next?… the Quest or the Iditarod? 🙂 🙂 🙂 Or both??
Congratulations Red and Blacks! You guys rocked this season!
Very well deserved congrats to Meghan and SPK rock stars. Scruggs stealing a kiss is a precious picture. Great awards, Meghan & great races this year. We are proud of your accomplishments.
Meghan way to go!! Applause for you and your fine furry running crew.
The rookie of the year will be styling with her new purple anorak….and how about that nugget of gold? 🙂 So great that it was for taking good care of the dogs.
Sweet! Nice job Meghan. I'm finally getting a chance to catch up on the SP Kennel activities. We've been busy with the Oso Landslide and all it's ramifications for friends, staff, patients and so on. Nice to take a breather and have some happy moments. Can't help but smile at the wonderful pictures of the dogs and SP Kennel family. THANK YOU!
