Good for you Jeff!  When all is said and done, it's not the trophies or ribbons on the wall -- it's what have I done to make this world a better place while I was here, and for those I leave behind.  You've made a place (Husky Homestead) where people from all walks of life can come and experience the wonderful story of the Iditarod, where you share your puppies with all of us, you share kind greetings and the patience of a photo opportunity with you and your dogs.  The two times I have been there, I fall more in love with beautiful Alaska and the warm hospitality of you and your staff.  The last drop in the bucket for me is to be able to see the Iditarod in person, and perhaps cheer you on to your fifth victory.  It didn't happen this year, that's okay.  Take the time to rejuvinate, gather your team, and head for that next victory.  Hang in there with him Skeeter -- the awesome dog of my dreams, SKEETER!
