  • Chanel

    Don will be working on switching this blog over to WordPress in a few weeks. I'm finding that the pictures don't come up. You have to click on "Chanel" to see her picture. So, if I do blog and have a picture you might have to click on...

  • Cushings Disease

    The name kind of makes the pit of my stomach turn and my heart lurch. This is a disease mainly of older dogs where they get tumors either on the adrenal glands or on the pituitary. The result is an extreme over production of cortisol which can cause all...

  • Onyx has surgery

    Well....after months (years) of going around and around with Onyx and her diet, she had exploratory surgery today. In the past we kind of managed to keep her at 40 pounds by changing her diet frequently. Seemed that she would do well on one food but after...

  • Shy dogs and treats

    Treats go a LONG way in helping a shy dog to trust. If you ever end up rescuing or adopting a shy dog there are many things you can do to help that dog gain trust. One of them is to give this dog a lot of treats. A lot of times just letting a shy dog...

  • Shy dogs

    Strawberry was a very shy dog at the shelter. Her new owners renamed her Ruby. We had her here for a few days until her travel arrangements were made. One thing I always try to impress upon people is to the "right" way to approach a shy dog...

  • Looking for a new job

    I am wracking my brain.....what can I do for work that involves dogs? Training? Boarding kennel? Baked treats? I have been a waitress at the same place for almost 7 years. I love working nights so that I can have all of my day time devoted to the dogs...

  • Skijoring at North Star

    Don took this video of me skijoring with Shaman Millie and Blackberry, followed down the trail by Sara Elzey and her dog Dylan. Now that spring is here and the trails are melting I love having a few videos to look back on and dream of next winter.

  • Older dogs

    I love my older dogs. (Of course I love all of my dogs...) I can't understand really how any musher can get rid of their old dogs. After those dogs have run their hearts out for you, have been in your life for many many years and that many people...

  • Misty and freedom

    You can read about Misty on my web site under "successes." It took her quite awhile to trust anyone and over the last several years this little girl has just blossomed into one of the sweetest dogs that we have. Lately I have been loose dropping...

  • Inside Dogs

    We have a lot of dogs in the house. 14 usually. They like to find their favorite places to curl up for a nap. These can change from one day to the next. Blackberry, in the first picture is not only curled up in a dog bed but rests her head on a pillow...

  • 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...
