Mickey's Musings - First Installment

Mickey and ChaCha, SP Kennel Mothers
SP Kennel has a steady parade of dedicated volunteers. Those of you who have been following the blog know Ryne, handler extraordinaire and Iditarod finisher, and Wes and Wendy, this past season's super versatile volunteer couple. Ryne is due back home in Alaska in a few weeks, having travelled afar since May. Wes and Wendy are spending the summer exploring Alaska in warmer temps, a decidedly different experience than their winter here.

Aliy's dad and mom, Doug and Mickey, have arrived in Two Rivers, from their winter home in Florida. They will both act as part-time kennel volunteers until the end of September. This is Mickey writing this post and I hope to provide you readers with a little flavor of what goes on at SP Kennel during the warmer months. Topics will include: SP puppies, SP retiring canine athletes, kennel improvements, kennel visitors, Aliy and Allen as mushing ambassadors and much, much more.

I plan to update the blog at least weekly through September. Aliy will add her thoughts occasionally, probably from her customary computer work site at her kitchen table around 2 AM. At least there is sunlight here at that time!

I became one of the first volunteers years ago when SP Kennel was in its infancy.  I've been involved in most aspects of kennel development over the years. Now I look forward to bringing you SP happenings during the summer of 2012.

Thanks for following the 'continuing adventures' of SP Kennel!
