Right now, Quito is busy with Mommy duties but let’s take a trip back to March 2012 to another significant moment in her life. Aliy and the Red Team finished 2nd in the Iditarod and Quito earned the title of Most Valuable Dog for the season! At the finishers’ banquet Aliy had promised Quito roses so once they got back to the kennel they had a small ceremony to present her with the honour.
Lovely!!!
And what did she do after these roses? Not much – only do it all over again twice as runner-up at Iditarod and have two more litters of future champions!!!
Thanks so much for this "throw back" story!!!
Best,
Margaret
She is such an awesome, amazing, incredible dog!! And I forgot to mention photogenic and sweet in a slightly aloof way, dignified! At least that was how I felt when I met her. Her progeny will carry forth her greatness I am sure.
Thanks for he memories!
Oh Quito, I love you and admire you so much beautiful pup!!! You can easily teach us humans so many lessons in living a life of hard work and excellence!!! You go pup! God bless you always! And God bless your Mom and Dad, Aliy and Allen for loving you like they do!!! 💖💖💖💖💙
I remember that post back in 2012!! She deserved such an honor…Queen Quito!! One in a million that girl….one in a million!
Quito, you are dignified and determined. May we all follow your lead.
