Winters are cold and dark here in Alaska, so the solstice is always a very important turning point.  We took some of the dogs for a run to celebrate the sun.

      Happy Winter Solstice!
      Loved this video!
      I enjoyed my visit to your great blog! Your dogs are amazing.
      I’ve been to AK several times (lost count after 15th trip) and will return in March for my 2nd Iditarod…this year I’m volunteering w/ dropped dogs!
      I have friends who have a cabin in Two Rivers, Kathy and Roger Blanchard. They live close to Aliy Zirkle and Allen Moore.

        Hi Kit! Thanks for visiting our blog! We saw yours too and it’s so sweet. Your labs are too cute and we love your family photos. We live a hop, skip and a jump away from the Zirkle/Moore household. Maybe we’ll catch you when you’re up here in March.

        Have a Merry Christmas,

        Andrea & Joe
