I got a new brofurr!!!

WOOOOO Everyfur

Yesterday my Mom left very early, which is weird cuz it was Saturday and she usually stays home on the weekends. She went to see her friend, Trish, where Sleet and Paxil used to live. She came home with this:

His name is Reggae! Mom says he's our new lead dog and my new brofurr!! He's 9 years old, but he acts like a young dog! He's very healthy and seems pretty happy. Trish is nice to her dogs so it's not like he's been hit or anything mean. He just didn't fit in with her other dogs anymore cuz they are really fast and run really far. Our Mom is a more laid back musher. We usually only take six or eight dogs at a time and we don't go more than about 20 miles most days. Mom doesn't race so it don't matter how fast we go either. So Reggae should be a good fit for our team!

Mom says he is gonna help train me. So when he has to retire, hopefully not for a couple years, I will be ready to take over! That sounds good to me.

I've only sniffed him through the fence. He seems nice enough! Mom says he's a bit shy, but not like Delta kinda shy, just a bit nervous. Can't blame him for that. After all he is in a new place and it's kinda crazy here! Mom says today she's gonna let Reggae in my pen so we can get to know each other!

WOooooooo

My new digs....

Wooooooo furiends

I'm gonna take a break from the pack intros for this post so I can show you my new digs! I got a new pen yesterday! When my humans aren't home to supervise, we get split up into smaller groups. Mom says there is less chance of a giant bill from Dr. Rick that way! My group is Pacer and Chum and me and sometimes Franklin or Paxil or Anvik. We had a nice little pen with our toys and bones. It was a good size. We had enough room to run and play. But my Dad got it in his head that we needed a bigger pen and that the last piece of our land needed to be fenced. There was about half an acre that wasn't fenced off yet! Now that is my pen!

It's totally awesome!

We have hills and willows and trees and all sorts of stuff to run around! My Dad stores some of his junk out there too. He has alot of junk!

We have lots of room to play Husky WWF now! WOOOO HOOOO!

Chum can run, but he can't hide! I will chew on him!

My Mom would like me to tell any humans reading this that if you decide to build a fence, you should do it before the ground freezes and there is a foot of snow on the ground! I learned some interesting new words from her and Dad on Sunday afternoon!

WOOOOS

Birthday Intros...

Since it's their 7th birthday, I thought it was a good time to introduce y'all to my brofurs, Delta and Antare!

This is Antare. He's bit of yappy boy. He's always barking and wooing and running around! He likes to lead our group howl sessions. He's very shy, but he likes other dogs and he likes to pull the sled. He doesn't act all chickeny when he sees his harness!

This is Delta or Delta the Digger Dog as my Mom calls him. He doesn't dig any more than the rest of us, but my Mom is weird! Delta is UBER-shy. He doesn't let anyone pet him. Him and Mom have a big routine they go through when she wants to pet him or bring him inside or something. A couple years ago, Delta got out of our yard somehow and he was gone for a whole month. He was very far from home when Mom found him and she had a hard time catching him!

Delta and Antare had a bad start in their lives. They were very neglected puppies. They probably wouldn't be so shy if they had a better puppyhood. They spent a long time in the shelter too before my Mom got them. Mom got them when this other dog who was a foster here almost killed one of Mom's forever dogs, my sisfur Kayleigh. Hmmm....does that make any sense???? That mean dog had to go back to the shelter and Mom was so distraught that somehow she managed to drop off one dog and bring home two! That other dog got adopted too a couple weeks later to a perfect for her home! So it all worked out in the end.

Happy Halloween Birthday, Delta and Antare!!

Some of my packmates...

Wooooooooooooooooooooooooooo everyfur

Y'all already met my buddy, Pacer. I thought I'd introduce a couple more of my packmates. It could take awhile to meet all of us! We are a pretty big group!

This is my good friend, Chum! Me and Chum and Pacer hang out together in our pen when Mom isn't home. Chum is a bit of a doofus! Mom says he missed something in his puppyhood and other dogs don't always get Chum! I totally get him! I also chase and chew on him! He usually wears a collar, but I chewed it off him and into a million bits!

This is Mac. Mac is very shy, but he likes me. Everyone likes me and if they don't I will win them over! Mac got in a big bunch of trouble last winter and he ain't allowed to run loose ever again, except in our fenced yard! He can still be a sled dog though. He's really a good boy and lotssa fun. He just had a big ol' brain fart that one day!


This is Pirate. She's about a million years old! Oh, Mom says she's only 15! She's only been here for about 8 months. She's had a buncha homes in her life. The last one was with some people my Mom knows, or used to know rather. When Pirate started getting sick and hurty, as old dogs will do, those people took her back to the shelter instead of to the vet. Mom got her outta the shelter place and to our nice Dr. Rick right away. Pirate does have a whole bunch of medical troubles, like athritis and peeing trouble and...you know old dog stuff! She takes a bunch of medicine every day and does just fine! Mom says Pirate might not be here for very long, but she's gonna be comfy, dry and loved while she is here! Pirate has taught me not to be a hooligan all the time! I gotta respect my elders!!

And this is my malamute brofur, Heyoka. He's a doofus! Me and Heyoka had a rough start together. The first whole day I lived here, I tried to drink out of his water bowl and he chomped my head! Mom was less than thrilled about that! Dr. Rick was very worried about me cuz I had a break in my head bone, but him and Mom took good care of me and it healed up just fine. I do got a little dent in the top of my head to remind me not to steal Heyoka's water! Me and Heyoka weren't allowed near each other for over a year, but we got re-introduced this fall and now we get along. We ain't exactly BFF's, but we're ok!

That's all for tonight. I'm going to snuggle with my humans for a while before bed. I'll introduce the rest of the pack soon!

WOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO

Playin' with Pacer

Wooo Furiends

We are having a fun day playing in the snow! Yup, snow and it ain't melting!

Some of my packmates are just being lazy and lounging around!

But being lazy just ain't in my nature! I've always got things to do, places to go, dogs to play with!

Like my buddy, Pacer! He's one of my favorite chew toys, wrasslin' partners, all that fun stuff!

Before me, Pacer didn't have anyone to play with! He's kinda shy and the dogs were just bullies to him! Good thing I got here before he was too old to play! He's like 8, but he still likes to wrassle with me!

See we are happy friends!

I gotta go back outside now. I haven't chewed on Pacer for at least half an hour!

WOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO

Dude, that's my dinner!

WOOOO furiends,

Today a nice human friend of my Mom's gave her some caribou bones. His dogger, my buddy Cobber, couldn't eat that many bones, but all of us can make quick work of them! So I'm in my pen, chewing my bone, minding my own business, when I noticed someone else was minding my business!

An Eagle was watching me! He wanted my caribou snacks! Sorry, dude, that's my dinner, get your own!!!

Mom did make all our cats go in the house. They have a fenced in kitty run where they can safely play. Safe from huskies and foxes and stuff like that, but Mom wasn't so sure it was safe from eagles. The kitties can't go back out there til the eagle finds somewhere else to hang out! They are pretty happy by the woodstove anyway!

How I celebrated my Birthday

WOOOO WOOO Furiends.....

I had a very good birthday. Thanks so much for all your nice comments. Mom gave us all moose bones to chew on. I got a new stuffy and some tennis balls. Pingo stole the tennis ball, but whatever, she likes them more than me anyway!

But my best birthday present came from Mother Nature!

She gave me SNOW!!!!

What could be better than running around with your buddies in the snow?

This snow didn't stay for too long, just a day or so, but more will coming very soon!
