 It doesn't matter who you are, how strong you are or where you live; life gives us challenges that we have to overcome!
Some of these challenges are easy to overcome. Some are not. This year has been a difficult one here with the suffering of lose, dealing with Covid and the resulting difficulty of getting help. One of the things that makes life meaningful is the daily interaction with my canine family and looking after their physical and emotional needs. They are a daily comfort. Although, things have certainly been difficult this season (one like no other), we will persist and make the best of things that we have control over. There is hope that a new Handler will arrive in Mid-January and we can finally get them running. We have to stay positive and handle these challenges in our own way. Things will get better! Until next week......  Thank you one and all for a great Birthday!
Here is a video produced by Rosalie Cerro: https://youtu.be/dqCHsSKLYxo Just so fantastic!!!! From snow flurries, to sunshine, to mild temperatures to rain; that is the type of weather here this week!
However, the forecast is some snow all next week which will make great conditions to start running the dogs. The dogs are getting anxious to start running! They all look great with nice weight and shinny healthy coats. Unfortunately, last Sunday Laura had to change her decision to come here due to family challenges with relocating here in Quebec. I totally understand her decision and respect it. The good news is there is another person interested in coming here to join the Miortuk Team for this season. I am hoping all will work out, as she would be a good fit here and I would be happy with her joining the Miortuk Team. Until next week....... Living in a remote area, doesn't mean you have not to enjoy some great meals.
The only difference is have learn how to make them yourself! The above are for those special occasions when you need to treat yourself. The weather here is starting to get colder and with a forecast of some light snow this coming week. The migrating birds have all departed, the tree leaves have fallen, the squirls are busy getting ready for Winter, the fox are out looking for squirls and the Grey Jays are back coming to me for feed. The dogs ae getting more excited with the anticipation of a new running season and this years Handler/Trainee is scheduled to arrive here this week. Life is good here at Miortuk. Until next week......  A beautiful view from here at Miortuk is one thing that we are thankful for!
Life here in the forest makes one realize the beauty, tranquility and serenity of life here in the forest co-inhabitation with Nature! It is my pleasure to announce that Laura Soulat will be joining the Miortuk Team as a Handler/Trainee for this season. Welcome Laura and looking forward to your arrival. Happy Thanksgiving! Until next week....... Yes, the start of Fall Training is just around the corner with the hope of starting this week when this seasons Handler/Trainee arrives here from France.
The last couple of weeks we have had a lot of rain and now with it's departure cooler temperatures suitable for running. Last week and today huge flocks of Canada Geese have been migrating south for the Winter. The dogs are in great shape and have been introduced to new dry food in their diet. They are slowly being weened on to it with first half old nuggets with half the new nuggets. This will take place over a week with the old being slowly cut back on the daily feeding. This method is aid in the dogs slowly getting use to the new feed. After the first three days, they are adjusting fine with no signs of digestive upset. The dry food is just 10% of their diet with the balance being a raw meat mix of chicken, beef an fish. Until next week........ Soon a new season will commence here at Miortuk!
The dogs are ready, the equipment is ready and this week the Handler/Trainee for this season is in place. It has been quite a journey over the years with some great adventures with some wonderful canine athletes. The excitement for the first run still exist even after 50 years of running dogs. Until next week....... It was a relatively quiet week here at Miortuk.
Warmer temperatures returned during the days with cooler nights. Tuesday night a big storm with heavy rains, thunder and lightning. It was areal light show! Also some nice Sunsets. A large flock of Canada Geese were spotted migrating South for the Winter. This was the first of the season. The dogs are all doing great and are in super shape for the upcoming season. Still have an opening for a Handler/trainee for this season. If interested contact me at miortuk@hotmail.com Until next week...... No matter what the season or the weather, there is always beauty here at Miortuk.
