"Stormy Weather & Expectations In The Northern Forest!"

7/27/2013

0 Comments

 
We had some stormy weather here this week with a violent (luckily short in duration) storm with thunder, lightning, strong winds & heavy/torrential rain.
The rain was whipping the chalet from all directions at the same time. 
Again, we were lucky with only a few downed trees and no hydro interruptions
The above photos are from another storm last week showing some weird looking sky. The dots on the photos are from the rain.
The work on the new dog houses is continuing with the cutting of the individual components for assembly later. I have decided to oil the surfaces to preserve & water proof the houses instead of paint. This will give the houses a nice natural finish that will blend in nicely to the forested kennel setting.
The other big story is the birth of Frodo & Tanya's puppies that are due on the 30th of July. However, they might be born early as Tanya is getting very restless tonight showing signs she could go into labor earlier than expected.
PUPPY WATCH IS NOW IN EFFECT! 
Puppies born 07/28/2013! Go to Puppy Page for details & photos.
Until next week.........

"Venison Chili & New Dog Houses In The Northern Forest!"

7/20/2013

What does Venison  Chili & Dog Houses have in common?
They were both made on the hottest most humid week we have had so far this Summer.
The temperatures here @ Miortuk reach 37 Celsius with the humidity readings in the 90's. Most of the week the temperatures were in the 30's with high humidity making for very uncomfortable conditions. This week also produced a couple of storms with the worst on Wednesday. That storm lasted only an hour, but it produced high swirling winds, a torrential downpour that hit the chalet from all directions at the same time. It also produced violent thunder & lightning! .
Luckily only a few small trees toppled over causing no damage.
I am so use to the colder temperatures of our Winter that these hot/humid days are a shock to my system.
Only a couple of months before starting Fall Training with the dogs!
The dogs handled the weather without any problem. However, Max was upset by the storm & didn't eat his supper on Wednesday Night. He was back to normal on Thursday.
I have plenty of ground Deer, so it was decided to make some chili to freeze for the Winter. It took 8 hours simmering the Slow Cooker to produce a delicious Venison Chili. I was very pleased with the results of my homemade recipe.
In the Spring, I had decided to make new insulated houses for the dogs & this week I completed the ProtoType. Now, I will cut & make all the components for assembly later this Summer & early Fall. 
Interesting observation: with Summer Holidays here, all the Oil Companies have raised the price of fuel. 
What a coincidence!
Until next week.......

"EXCITED PUPS & SUNSETS IN THE NORTHERN FOREST!"

7/14/2013

It was another beautiful week here at Miortuk.
We had a storm pass through here early in the week that lowered temperatures & the humidity. 
However, that changed on Saturday with the return of hot/humid conditions with beautiful clear blue skies.
The dogs & in particular the pups enjoying chasing the Butterflies that visit the kennel.
 With the storm that blew through here, we are experiencing an increase in House Flies that are gathering in clusters on some of the dogs ears & biting them. To combat this, I have been applying Swat every couple of days & this keeps the flies off the dogs. Hopefully this paise of the flies will end soon. 
As you can see, there are many types of flies this year. It is possible due to the late arrival of Spring & the hot/humid weather.
Started the prototype of my new insulated dog houses that I will complete this coming week.
Until next week.......

"Sunsets & Puppies In The Northern Forest!"

Another warm week here at Miortuk with some beautiful Sunsets. 
Had a nice visit from Valerie & Laurent Gonsolin who brought his visiting Mother & Father, from France, to see my place & the kennel. 
We had a fun visit while enjoying a cool beer & sampling some Smoked Moose as well as BQ Buffalo.
It was also a good week to update some photos of last years puppies. How quickly they grow up. I am really looking forward to running them this coming season.
 It should be a lot of fun!
Until next week.......
