Meghan and Moira took Driver, Sandy and Iron, along with Tig the Labrador, for a run and spent some time playing in a nearby field the other day. Here’s a fun video from that day. Watch out for the “mauling” at the end – I am happy to say the camera survived intact!
Video Flashback: Yukon Quest 2012 – The Story
Many of you may have already seen this excellent video, but just in case… It includes some really great shots of the SP Kennel team! Tell us in the comments how much you’re looking forward to this year’s Yukon Quest!
“The Yukon Quest finishes and its the most exciting for many years with only seconds between first place, Hugh Neff and Second place Allen Moore. After 1000 miles there was only 15 seconds separating them.” — Music Sarah MacDougall, Sometimes You Lose, Sometimes You Win.
Outhouse Project
When Meghan and Moira arrived at SP Kennel in mid October there were already a few “to do’s” on their list. One of these was to build themselves an Outhouse. You see, in many parts of Alaska, including Two Rivers, people do not have indoor plumbing – this includes Meghan and Moira’s Taj Mahal log cabin.
So, Allen, Meghan and Moira were able to cross off “Build an Outhouse” from their list yesterday! Here are photos documenting the ordeal. Remember… it’s never easy!
Fall Howler is Available!
The Fall edition of the SP Kennel Howler is ready for viewing.

Happy Halloween from SP Kennel!
New Dog Houses For The Winter
Meghan recently spent time building some new dog houses, in between all the other things that need doing at this time of year. They will be used for the Golf litter puppies once they graduate soon to become “big dogs”.
Training with Allen (Part 2)
Further to my earlier post, here is the second video from when I rode with Allen on a training run. In this video I asked Allen why he had slowed to let Aliy pass. (Moira)
