Re: Vent!
Damn it all with the phony "service" dogs. I was stuck in interminable flight cancellation hell at O'Hare Intnl airport yesterday. CPD came through with detection dogs, whether that was routine or part of sorting out the issue I don't know. In any event, one of the detection dogs, a beauti...

Re: What are you and your dogs up to today? Part 2
I love the idea of snoods for long-eared dogs. I can see it turning into part of the pre-feeding ritual and dogs getting all atwitter with job at the mere sight of the snood. "I'm getting dressed for dinner" sort of thing. I got home from work a bit late yesterday. I'm not sure what the de...

Re: NatGeo Expedition Contest.
I'd LOVE to post a link to the finals, but....
Neither mushing project made the cut.

"Whoa". My sled dogs are definitely not good at "whoa".

Re: NatGeo Expedition Contest.
Our local newspaper ran a feature article on the TWO proposed dog mushing expeditions in the Nat Geo contest. You can read the article on line at http://www.newsminer.com/features/outdoors/mushing-movie-magic-filmmakers-make-plans-for-northern-alaska/article_e75f27ce-3a52-11e4-91a1-001a4bcf6878.html...

Re: What are you and your dogs up to today? Part 2
I'm glad Delta is doing so well. A high percentage of the time (I've forgotten the exact number since I've lived so long in a region of no venomous snakes) a snake does not release venom during the bite. Maybe this was the case for a very lucky little one. Everything is good here at the house, and I...

Re: What are you and your dogs up to today? Part 2
Reads like a LOT of busy dogs this weekend. Sandy becoming quite the little squirrel and flutterby hunter, and Womble learning the important subtleties of this rat versus THAT rat. I've been continuing with projects here at the house. I completed the new rabbit hutch as the little bunnies aren't so ...

Re: What are you and your dogs up to today? Part 2
It's official - Chetan has buns baking in the oven. We don't have a puppy count, and probably won't have unless we x-ray about a week before she is due. Once Dr. May Emails the images to me I'll share "first puppy pictures". They are just sonograms, so not much in the way of "aw"...

Re: What are you and your dogs up to today? Part 2
ClareMarsh, it's day 7 for Animosh. She was on a post and swivel tie out, and I saw her trying to flirt with her neighbor (neutered) Innoko. Poor Innoko wasn't sure what to make of having her butt shoved into his face. Now the little slut is parked in a pen, just in case one of the intact lads figur...

On adopting litter mates.
This article, by Patricia McConnell PhD, has generated considerable discussion among dog musher on my FaceBook page. I think it can be very valuable for those considering adopting litter mates, especially in the pet (versus working dog) environment. http://www.patriciamcconnell.com/theotherendofthel...

Re: What are you and your dogs up to today? Part 2
It's a nasty, wet drizzly day today, so I've had a chance to catch up on some writing. The past two days we actually had reasonable weather (only a little rain), so I used the time to fill in some of the deeper holes in the dog yard and to repair and refurbish some dog houses in preparation for wint...

Re: What are you and your dogs up to today? Part 2
I just got back in after feeding the best lookin' bunch of sled dogs I've ever seen. Trish has been working hard to keep 'em healthy and happy, and of course it pays off big time. Chetan was bouncing around like a puppy when I went out. Friday and Selene are in a different pen after an unauthorized ...

Re: What are you and your dogs up to today? Part 2
I've spent a bit of time catching up and really enjoying the photos. I miss my dogs terribly, but only have 1 more full day at work before I can go home. Yesterday kept me VERY busy on the job. Trish is having a very busy evening tonight. When she gets off from work she has to stop at a friend's ken...
