The Girls Are Growing!

Illy and Aise. 8 months old and looking good! Illy looks substantial and I see a lot of Tumac in her, but she has her mamma's eyes.  Aise looks a lot like Honey, such a striking face with a pretty coat.  Two happy girls!  Thanks Linda for loving my puppies so much!

It's August Already!

Just seems like yesterday that I put our mushing gear away, well, I guess it wasn't that long ago as we ran dogs to the end of April. Sometimes we squeeze a few runs out in May but not this year. It was time to pay attention to the wee ones.  Hard to believe that the wee ones will be in harness soon. Where does the time go!  They are getting lots of exercise and have some good muscle on them already.  If the mornings continue to stay cool, I guess we'll start training before the end of the month and begin getting the pups used to the activity, the truck and the gear.  In the meantime, I'm holding on to their puppyness as it passes way too quickly !!

Wishbone

My beautiful blue eyed boy! Gentle doesn't even discribe him... he snuggles up with me at night and doesn't move until morning breaks. Always by my side, always touching me.  He's a special boy!  A little timid of new things but I know he's going to grow up to be quite a sled dog.

Turkey Jim

Gosh, I don't know who is cuter.... TJ or Richard!  Here he is dancing with Richard. Such a happy, lean and loving boy.  A gentle soul like his papa Tumac.

Pear

The lovely, lovely Pear! Such a happy girl.  She's already very devoted to me and I have a really good sense that she's going to be one heck of a lead dog.

Honey Nee-Nee!!!

Love love LOVE this puppy!  Honey.... what can I say.  She oozes naughtyness, lovliness, cuteness, honeyness..... here she is after planting a wet kiss on her dadda.

Oh, he's so handsome!  Rigel lives with Caroline and Andy in Maine, what a lovely home for this equally lovely boy!  Richard just had chance to visit with him and Caroline and Andy.  Lots of hugging all round!  He is the prettiest boy!  Thank you Caroline and Andy for taking such good care of 'his most handsome', Rigel.
