Olivia's Due Date is One Week

Olivia is the Diva of the sled dog world - she knows it, we know it… the world knows it. Whenever there is an Iditarod advertisement, Yukon Quest fundraiser or simply a dog mushing magazine article, you'll find a glamour photo of her. She is a poster girl and has had centerfold layout in numerous mags. (Hey now… don't let your mind wander! No wardrobe malfunctions from this girl.)

Yes, Olivia is a celebrity. It's a tough job being a celebrity: always looking good, howling at the correct time, staying fit, not biting photographers and don't forget those Instagram and Twitter posts - if you don't get those correct, you're down the tubes ASAP!

So, you can imagine that for the last few years the SP Kennel Crew has been overwhelmed with Olivia in the Spotlight. Now as a middle aged gal, this pregnancy has taken even more effort from her support staff. Yes… it was an intended pregnancy with her long time boyfriend, Nacho. But still, the stress of it all has required extra support from us all.


Now, Olivia's next big adventure is only one week out! Her due date is September 26th. Since there is such a high intensity atmosphere at the kennel, we have decided to add a little stress relief. So, we are having an "in house" Big O birthday guessing pool. Those of us here at at SP Kennel… chewing our fingernails and pacing… have all thrown 1 dollar into the kitty (or "puppy$" as we like to call it!) We've made a chart listing all of Olivia's Support Crew and their jobs.

The winner of the pool must guess the correct date and litter size. If there is a tie we will draw one of the tied names out of a dog bootie. If there is no correct guess we'll draw a winner out of all the Support Crew names. The winner not only gets the "puppy$" (the $23 kitty, NOT a cute little fur ball) but will also get to name the first born.
