"RAIN WAS THE MAIN ELEMENT HERE THIS WEEK IN THE NORTHERN FOREST!"
Picture
Yes, it was a rainy, wet week here with lots of cloudy days. This photo shows a clearing trend on Tuesday night which led to the one beautiful sunny day on Wednesday. The good news with all the wet weather the chance of forest fires is low and not a repeat of the dangerous situation here last Spring.
So far the pesty bug population has not yet exploded. But it will, as the Black Flies made a introductory appearance at the end of the week. The Swallows seem to be keeping the mosquitoes at bay with their morning and late day foraging. The frogs are continuing their nightly chorale, however it is dwindling in numbers. I have witnessed more activity with the Heron  as they forage for food to feed their young. The leaves are just starting to appear on the Birch Trees. Soon the wild flowers will be in full bloom. 
The female dogs are having fun digging holes and nesting. Only, to dig a new one the next day and thus filling in the hole from the day before. This is funny to watch, as their heads seem to disappear into depth of the caverns they are digging with their feet in an escalating flurry and the sand flying behind them.
When everything is too their liking, they lay down in their newly constructed nest. Cobalt is eating like crazy but not showing to many signs of her pregnancy yet. However, the whelping pen has been readied for the upcoming event.
Until next week......

" WET & CLOUDY WEATHER HERE IN THE NORTHERN FOREST!"
Picture
The wet weather has continued here this week. The photo shows a sunset through the fog. This morning a thunder storm rapidly passed through leaving hail & some heavy rains. 
We also had a couple of nice days with some sun & warm/humid temperatures.
The frogs are continuing their nightly mating songs along with the Loons. The evening through to early morning is filled with their rhapsody only to be replaced by the cooing of the Morning Doves. With the arrival of more species of birds, the increased activity of the wildlife and the budding growth of the vegetation, the forest is a very busy place.
This weekend also marks the start of the Summer Cottagers migration to the forest.
The dogs are getting used to all the changes, the new noises and smells and are adjusting to the new environment for the Summer Months. 
In a short three months, we will start running/training again for another Winter Season!
Cobalt is gaining weight and filling out around the rib cage indicating a good possibility of puppies.
Until next week.........

" FINALLY, A NICE SPRING WEEK HERE IN THE NORTHERN FOREST!"
Picture
It was a nice week here with some beautiful sunny days and warm temperatures.
 Spring activities are continuing with the continuance of the migration North of the Canada Geese, the frogs mating choirs are getting louder through the night and the Humming Birds have returned to the feeder. Yesterday , the squirrels were scurrying around with the younger ones teasing the dogs. The dogs quickly get bored with their games and start to ignore them. This weekend, more of the cottagers were returning to their camps and opening them up for the upcoming Summer. Last night, the frogs started their migration from the swamp overland to the lake. The ones that decided to migrate through the kennel, certainly got the attention of the dogs.
The dogs enjoyed the warm weather and basked in the sunshine getting prepared for the warm, lazy days of Summer and knowing that next Fall won't be to far away.
This week, the forecast is for rainy days all week! Time will tell!
Until next week......

"ALL THE SIGNS OF SPRING ARE HERE! BUT, WINTER'S ICY GRIP HOLDS ON IN THE NORTHERN FOREST!"
Picture
All the signs of Spring arrived this week with the returning of the Canada Geese heading north, the frogs starting their nightly choirs from the swamp, the ice breaking up on the lake and the return of the Loon with their nightly mating cry.
However, we received snow on Thursday & Friday!!!!
Monday, Tuesday & Wednesday, it was  rain.
The good news is with all the wet weather, we shouldn't have a repeat of the dangers of forest fires like last year.
The photo shows the sun trying to make an appearance at the end of Wednesday.
With all the rain, the kennel's ice is melting quickly and the ground is absorbing all the water leaving the area for the dogs nice & dry.
Some of the dogs, in protest to the wet weather, are remodeling their houses. 
Making it necessary for me to do daily repairs.
Until next week.......

" WET & MILD IN THE NORTHERN FOREST! "
Picture
It was a wet & warm week here at lac Charland. This photo shows the fog over the ice on the lake caused by the moist/warm air. Along with the rain, we are received several days of beautiful blue skies and sunshine. The weather this week is rapidly melting the snow & ice. Today, You can see a lot of open water on the lake. The colors are in a stark contrast with the pale blue sky, the deep blue water, the vibrant greens of the pines and all contasted by the white of the melting ice. 
Half of the kennel, the part that receives the afternoon sun, is now dry and free of snow & ice.
The dogs are enjoying the sunshine today in contrast to the rain & strong winds received during the week. The breeding of Cobalt & Tony was completed this week and all we can do is wait to see if it will result in puppies. The dogs feed is now been slowly changed to a more protein and less fat diet for the off season.
The BBQ last weekend turned out great and now I look foreword to more of the same through the Summer. It is a real pleasure to grill outside in the warmer weather. The dogs also enjoy the smell of the meat on the grill.
Until next week........
