Congratulations to Kuka Kennels for finishing the 2012 Iditarod! The team arrived in Nome last night at 4:15pm AST. 11 dogs crossed under the archway and all 11 looked extremely energetic. Bill and the team placed 42nd overall and couldn't have looked happier.
I am unbelievably proud of this team. They worked their butts off in this grueling race. To top it all off, when they stopped at the finish line, they kept lunging forward to keep running. Apparently, a fellow musher walked up to Bill and immediately offered to buy Spur when he saw his enthusiasm to run.
The last hundred miles went well. It was cold, windy, and desolate, but the dogs made it through. Now they get a long rest and lots of love at home! I can't wait to give them all big hugs and kisses! My Iditarod dogs are coming home!
