All is well back here at the kennel.

The young dogs, the retirees and I are enjoying the warmer temperatures… over 40 degrees in Two Rivers today! Dog naps all around.

The seven current house dogs are obsessively watching the GPS tracker over my shoulder and reminding me to hit “refresh” every 30 seconds.

Bullet wants to know who’s in lead and ChaCha keeps reminiscing about the “good old days” when she used to run Iditarod. She claims it was way harder back then. I just pat her head and say, “I know, Cha, you’re very tough,” and throw her another biscuit.

We all look forward to hearing the race dogs’ stories when they return (Champ, above, is particularly excited). I can just hear Mismo back in the dog yard, “I mean, it was a thousand miles, Champ, I’m kind of a big deal now. Maybe you should call me Mr. Mismo.”

  • Ha! Love it! Way to hold down the fort young ones and retirees….and Meghan. I was wondering what goes on with those left at home. Now I know.

  • Your posts are always so soothing. You are a wise and funny woman. We love you all, the pups, the staff, the family, every single one, every single day, just exactly the way you are and in every circumstance. Thanks for this wonderful post. It cheered us immensely.

  • Ok, Mr. Mismo! We're all excited for your stories, especially the young ones. The retirees will all say "Yeah, yeah, we've been there." lol 🙂 Great job holding down the fort Meghan and pups, enjoy the fun before Officer Scout comes back! 🙂

  • Aweee! Sweet dawgs! A heat wave up there after all that sub zero action, wow.

    I keep meaning to mention my grand kids call me Cha Cha so she and I have something in common. HaHa my grandson came up with that when learning to talk at 2.

    My female Siberian sings when Aliy gets the dogs in the yard going and I am watching a singing video clip, does not take much they run to the computer to see who is talking. I love when my two go to town, I join in too!!

    Thanks Meghan, sure the will be happy when everyone is back home.

    Best, Trish McAleer

  • Thank you Meghan for letting us "ease drop" on the dog yard. What fun! I believe every word – that's the mark of a wonderful storyteller. Good job!

  • Great post Meghan. Thanks for holding down the kennel, its a busy job! Cha Cha has a lot to be proud of she has great genes and lead them all well. Ditto to what Barb said. Tell that big girl Daisy its her turn next year. Still cant believe Chipper's success, and cant wait to see if Pepe slows down a bit after this race! lol. Thanks and good luck this summer!

  • Thanks for your wonderfully funny report! It is in the tradition of SP Kennel communication with its online fans!!!

    – I can picture Rambler, who had been known to intrude during an Aliy Skype interview posted online here, putting a paw on your shoulder here in 2015!

    – You know, ChaCha may be correct. I wouldn't cross her!!!
