Macgellan and I were driving around today when he said, "I've got a surprise for you Happy dog!"
The next thing I know, we've pulled into my favorite dog park and I'm muzzle to muzzle with Rose, my old pack mate and doghouse neighbor at SP Kennel in Two Rivers, AK. Rose is retired, too, and now lives with Lynne who works not far from where Macgellan and I live. Our bosses arranged this surprise reunion, and it was great!
Rose and I may look a bit similar, but we have no relatives in common. She was born at SP Kennel, and I was adopted from a remote village. Rose was one of the superstar sled dogs so we never raced together, but we sometimes trained together and I always admired her. While checking out the dog park, we had a little girl-talk and agreed we both have really good lives with our new bosses.
It was great to have a reunion with Rose today, and I hope we visit each other again soon!

So glad to hear from you Happy. I have been wondering what you were doing. I am sure you and Rose had much to talk about. It is always the same when we "old timers" get together. You may not have raced together, but you both made it all the way to Nome - something a lot of sled dogs never get to say.
