Every kennel has a story of a dog who started it all, and for Ryno Kennel, that’s Stormy. I fell in love with Stormy at SP Kennel. After leading my first Iditarod in 2012, Stormy retired to my couch and was the nanny to all the pups at Ryno Kennel. Stormy taught kindness, calm confidence, and manners. I’m not sure her hackles even worked, or if they did, she never used them. Stormy passed away last summer, but her calm presence is still felt at the kennel in the actions of all the pups who grew up under her guidance. The first cabin we built on the new property has been named “Stormy’s Cabin.” She oversaw the entire building process as well as ensured that the wood stove was warm enough and functioned properly. Thanks for the sign, Dog Paddle Designs!

Frigid temperatures, darkness, no electricity, no running water, poop scooping, meat cutting, toe nail trimming- thank you Kalyn for helping with all the not-so-fun tasks and signing up for another winter! But most importantly, thanks for caring for the Ryno crew like they were your own. We’re lucky to have you! @barkingraven

Our friends at @smokin_ace_kennels just posted a throwback of when they met, and it spurred me to look for an old photo of Derek’s intro to racing. This photo is the 2011 Sheep Mountain Race when I worked at @spkennel . I’d just finished a summer of fighting fire with the Northstar Fire Crew where I’d occasionally see Derek on the fire line, but we kept our relationship secret because I didn’t want to get grief from my crew for dating a smokejumper. That look I’m giving him is the - “Let’s move in together and have a family of 40 dogs” look.

Sled dogs aren’t always high energy. They’re pretty good at lounging in the sunshine too. @northwoodswrite
