It’s August. And with it, the rain has come to Two Rivers. Lots and lots of puddles and wet dogs. Let’s put a positive spin on the rain:
- No more smoke.
- No more fire.
- The temperatures are cooler.
- We are closer to the beginning of Fall training.
It’s also Dog Fan Club Draw day! In the spirit of ‘keeping it upbeat’ our Fan Club prize is all about fun times in Alaska. The winner gets a pair of psychedelic socks. Plus a little Alaskan postcard humor.
Congratulations to Becky Pacas who is a fan of Nomex. Becky will be wearing a fun pair of socks and receiving a glam shot of Nomex. Plus she’ll be posted four Alaskan postcards in the next couple days. Sometimes you just need a smile and these postcards will do it! Check your mail box often Becky!
Nomex is an absolute blessing. He is a super happy boy with a shy streak. When he loves you… he LOVES you. He has a unique ‘chirp’ when he wants your attention. One of the more powerful team dogs at SPK, he showed his skills as a lead dog by crossing the Yukon Quest finish line in leading the 2nd place! Woohoo.
Nomex is one of the eleven pups of the Fire Litter from 2013. Some of them have retired, but many of them are the heart and soul of the SP Kennel racing team today. Nomex has been on all of the top teams in the past few years and will be in the thick of it again in 2020!
HERE is a fun video when we were trying to “teach” Nomex to howl!

What a fun picture of all eleven pups. Love. Congrats Nomex & Becky
Thank you!
I checked my mail box yesterday and got a post card form NOME!!!

The socks and the post cards are beautiful.
I’m so lucky.
Handsome boy Nomex is amazing along with his incredible siblings, especially Violet. 😉
Keep it up Nomex.
I love this picture of you under the Fire liter Aliy,
and I’m so thankful the smoke has died down for the year.

I hope to see Nomex in person-dog soon.

Congrats Nomex and Becky! Very cool prizes too! Love the blast from the past picture….the Fire Litter Rocks!
Congrats to Nomex and Becky.
WOOF WOOF
And so glad to hear that fire season has been finally put out by Mother Nature!!!
So glad to know the smoke and fires have been extinguished! Very cute video of Nomex learning to howl! Love it! Congrats Nomex and Becky!
Congrats Becky & Nomex! You are the sponsor of Sweet Violet as well!!
Enjoy the gifts and give a hug to Violet and Nomex for me! The great fire
litter!!!
I love the fact that little Violet was “squashed” in the pic and look how she handles being wheel dog #1 today!!!
They get older and sophisticated and it’s easy to forget how absolutely adorable they are when pups. What a great litter!
Rain this last week has not been so much fun, eh? It sure had Padee scrambling.
