Happy 10th Birthday, dear Skinny!



Today Skinny is 10 years old! We were so lucky to bring him back with us from Aliy Zirkle's kennel in 2001. That is also the year Liller joined us from Susan Butcher's kennel.

One of these photos if of Skinny in lead with Sulatna and Liller making the three dog team, just running for fun, shortly after both had arrived.

The other photo doesn't show Skinny but he was leading with Glory for my team in the Nicolet Sprint. Sulatna and Balto were in wheel. Skinny was primed and flying... we came to hard gee curve with a fence to show the way. The man at the fence looked at me very skeptically as if he were sure! I would not stay on the sled. We let out a great 'yahoo!' when I was still on.

Skinny has run lead for us for two Jackpine 30's and he's also the father of our great A and B puppies.

Thank you, Skinny!
