  • More skijoring March 4th

    A great skijoring day on fast but a little bumpy trails. Hard to hold the camera, my poles, and take steady pics when you are doing 18+mph. Blackberry (on the right) and Millie in lead. Shaman in wheel. Blackberry and Shaman both came from our animal...

  • Meat

    All through the winter we feed twice a day. In the morning the dogs get a rich meat "soup". It starts out as a 50 pounds block of either a mix of meats or chicken. This block just happens to be chicken. We score the meat with a circular saw...

  • Play Time

    Social time is very very important in a huskies life (or any dog for that matter). Even on the coldest of days when many of our dogs stay in the house or the dog barn, we let them out all together in a huge play group. Dogs are very social animals and...

  • Skijoring

    My favorite winter activity is skijoring. The dogs love it and it gets us all outside for some good exercise. It tends to be pretty easy on the dogs too as they age and we have quite a few 13+ year old dogs still running. We don't go far. Maybe 4...

  • Winter is cold

    Well, to be optimistic, at least this January is way warmer than last year at this time when we had 40 below for nearly 3 weeks and that is in the hills too! We live "in the hills" which only means you are a couple of hundred feet or more off...

  • Posting blogs

    OK. I am just a bad blogger. I think of all these things I would want to blog about but then think "why would people want to read this?" So I have to get better at just writing on a consistant basis and figure that at least I can go back and...

  • Starving Fort Yukon Dogs

    Because of the weak salmon run on the Yukon River this summer, there are a lot of dogs in Fort Yukon, Alaska, and the surrounding villages who are at severe risk of starving to death. Normally these sled dogs live on a diet heavy in fish all winter, but...

  • Onyx again

    She is now up to 40.4 pounds. Slowly but surely. We have started her on a raw chicken mix that we can buy in 50 pound blocks up here in Fairbanks. We are still feeding her 3 times a day and mixing in cooked chicken also. A Digestin in each meal plus 2...

  • Another Onyx update

    Well, Onyx is doing fairly well. Still having diarrhea at times....not really formed stools much. BUT...she is slowly gaining weight. Weighed her today and she is at 39.2 pounds. Her coat continues to be gorgeous and she has a ton of energy. If she wasn't...

  • Winter Has Broken!

    Well, summer 2009 was wonderful, full of dog yard projects, whitewater canoeing and kayaking, long walks with loose dogs, other activities, and too much work work. I got a lot done, but never enough. Carol thinks that all I did was move some dirt around...

  • More on Onyx

    Sigh....after a couple of good days on the Viokase, Onyx went back to some bad blowouts. So I stopped the Viokase and back on the GI Cell Support and Digestin in each meal. She is still get a half of a pet tab a day and bone meal with her cooked chicken...

  • Onyx weight

    She weighs 37.2 pounds this morning. Up from the low of 36. I have now established a set routine and may make small changes as we go along and I definitely will have to start feeding a more balanced diet....She is getting the Viokase-V with every meal...

  • Onyx part 4

    ARGHHHH. Learning every day and sometimes the lessons are extremely hard. Onyx had been doing well the last couple of days. Some formed stool, good energy and hopefully on the path to weight gain. But tonight I grabbed a bag of soy crumbles out of the...
