"Sexual Tension In The Northern Forest!"

8/26/2017

Yes, there is unhappiness here at Miortuk.
There are many females in Heat causing frustration for Blue.
As he was used as Stud with the last litter we had here, he thinks it is his duty to perform when the girls are ready.
Unfortunately for him, Indigo has not come into heat therefore not needing his service.
That has not stopped him from moping and going on a four day hunger strike!
Finally, Friday he caved in and had some supper and a couple of biscuits.
He had no problem drinking water through this period of resistance and therefore kept well hydrated.
Ah, the burden of responsibility!
The rest of the males are having no problems at all with the current situation.
Weatherwise, it was another wet week here with daily rains. 
It has been one of the wettest summers I have experienced here.
There also signs of the Fall Season approaching with the migration of mice into the chalet (caught 6 last week) and the Fireweed starting to go to seed. When the Fireweed goes to silk the prediction is the first snow will arrive here 6 weeks after. Also another indication is the leaves on the trees are starting to change color and the nights are getting cooler with temperatures below 10 celsius.
Training season is scheduled to commence on the 2nd of October when Jack arrives.
Time has a habit of flying by!
​Until next week........

It has been another hot/humid/rainy week here!
However, the flies are disappearing!
Getting things ready for the start of the training season and everything is just about ready to go.
Just to give a glimpse of things to come: here is a video taken Spring 2016 training puppies.
​Until next week.......

"Another Week Of Unsettled Weather In The Northern Forest!"

Another crazy week here with unsettled weather.
From warm/humid sunnys days to Thunder/Lightning Storms!
It has been an incredibly wet Summer and recently with torrential downpours.
However, Fall will soon be here and another season of running the dogs will start.
The one photo above is of the Fireweed that is now in full bloom. When it goes to silk (seed), it will indicate in 6 weeks our first snowfall. You will be kept posted of when this annual occurrence happens.
On a positive note, the wild raspberries are plentiful this year.
Last night was the Annual Méchoui du club des épinettes. This a great party centering around BBQ'd Pork slow roasted/smoked over a wood fire, fresh Quebec Corn on the Cob and several side dishes. The Club had set up tenting for the participants to keep them dry. It was needed, as a thunderstorm/rains occurred throughout the early portion of the Get Together. 
No one got wet and the weather did not dampen the great time had by all.
 A special shout out to Denis Temblay for the BBQ'D Pork Roasts.
Until next week.......

"Wet/Stormy Week Here in The Northern Forest!"

Picture
It was hot/humid week here resulting several big storms with thunder/lightning and torrential rains.
However, Friday was the impediment of this of this freaky weather.
Around mid-day, we had a horrendous storm with thunder/lightning, extremely violent winds and a deluge of rain lasting for a little over one hour resulting in downed trees and flooding. On the service road here there was over 4" of rain on the road. Luckily the earthen base here is sand allowing the flooding to dissipate quickly. There was no damage around the kennel or with the chalet.
Never since living here for 20 years have I never witnessed a storm with this intensity here before. 
Throughout the weekend, waves of smaller rain storms passed through.
Today, the skies were still cloudy and the temperatures have dropped to the mid-teens Celsius.
It was still a great weekend as friends came up and we enjoyed fantastic food and great company.
​Until next week.......
