If you’ve been following the Dog Log for a while, you are probably well aware that dog care is the number one priority at SP Kennel. This is always true, but it is especially true when the teams are “on the road” or away at races. Dog care comes before … Read More
It’s late Thursday night — early Friday morning, actually — as I post this, so it’s been a long day! Bridgett, Kaz, Mickey, Doug and I turned the Kennel lights on at 6 o’clock this morning and sang the dogs their good morning song. By 7 o’clock we had 34 … Read More
I drove up to Wolverine this morning and met up with the teams. Everyone had gotten some sleep and eaten some food, so they were in pretty good shape. Aliy and Allen both recorded recaps of their experiences in the Copper Basin 300 Mile Sled Dog Race, but the internet … Read More

I just wanted to let you know that I got a follow-up call from Brdigett in which she said that the teams are en route to Sourdough and that she is on her way there as well. Sadly, there is no cell phone service in Sourdough, so we will all … Read More
