You have been bestowed a marvelous gift - and responsibility - to take care of the mighty and dear Chica in her retirement. Have fun and update us when you get a chance. It is so good to know that the SPK dogs get to retire to loving homes.<br />Thank you Aliy and Allen for sharing this transition - hard as it was. But like you said - it wouldn't be possible to keep every dog and give them the retirements they so deserve. I cried, too. What a fantastic career behind that very special sled dog. Wow. Hope she can follow the dog log and keep up with all the SPK activities :)<br />Sunnynoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2023068524242748614.post-50344713587290613172016-06-11T22:20:44.844-08:002016-06-11T22:20:44.844-08:00SPK always takes great care to find the very best ...SPK always takes great care to find the very best home for their dogs, I know that. Still - earlier this year, even before I knew she was retiring, I wasn't sure I could bear her leaving. I am much better now - she has a great home. <br /><br />Thank you Leslie and Don for taking her into your lives. <br /><br />LWriting and Life : Tothhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12531776290882985366noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2023068524242748614.post-29084344289673762472016-06-11T18:09:59.336-08:002016-06-11T18:09:59.336-08:00Tears for me too, glad she will go to a home espec...Tears for me too, glad she will go to a home especially selected for her retirement!

Even in the few short years I've been with the kennel, I've watched you become a great mom and help the young ones learn the ropes of being amazing dog team members. I'm so happy you and Quito have been able to spend some time together before your retirement. I can't believe that you two are responsible for those renovations! I was going to peg that on the babies! Enjoy retirement life, Chica girl! You've more than earned it!Carrie Hopkins, Windsor, CTnoreply@blogger.com
