"A NEW LEADER IS DISCOVERED IN THE NORTHERN FOREST!"

9/25/2011

0 Comments

 
On Friday's run Cobalt was placed at lead for her first time. 
SHE WAS A NATURAL! 
She took to the position as if she had running there her whole life. She comes by this ability naturally as her father was also a leader (good genetics).
It was a great week: to start running the dogs again, introducing the yearlings (Blue & Indigo) into running in a team & the arrival of David on Monday.
Unfortunately, we were only able to get in two mornings of running due to warm temperatures. If the forecasts are correct, we will not be able to get the dogs back out running until late next week again due to the warm temperatures.
The two yearlings did a great job of running in a team and look like they are going to be great racers.
Of coarse, all the adult dogs enjoyed getting started in conditioning/training runs for a new season. ( there is a video on the "Training Page")
The Puppies are growing and getting big. Soon, they will be placed out in the kennel with the adults. If their Mother & Father are any indication of their abilities, they should be great sled dogs.
ALL IS GOOD HERE!
Until next week.......

"DEPARTURES & ARRIVALS IN THE NORTHERN FOREST!"

9/18/2011

Yes, today Hototo, Honaw & Honovi are leaving here with Rosaire & going to their new home. It has only been three months, however, I am already emotionally attached to them. As I have interacted with the puppies everyday since their birth a close attachment occurs. It is difficult to part with them! However, I still have the pleasure of playing & working on the development of Halona, Hurit, Hok'ee & Hinto. It is with thanks to Rosaire, with the loan of Tony, that I was able to produce this wonderful litter.
On the Puppies Page there are a few new photos of the Pups taken after eating their breakfast. They are now 12 weeks old and have really grown. It is interesting to look back and see how quickly they have developed. 
On the "arrivals" side, tomorrow David arrives here and starts his stay at Miortuk. He will be initiated on Tuesday Morning to the first run of the season with the dogs. It should be a very exciting morning as the dogs are all ready,with the changing lower temperatures, to get running.
It should be a busy week here with David's arrival & the Fall conditioning starting for the dogs (& Musher) with the anticipation of a great racing season ahead. 
Until next week..........

"9/11 REMEMBERED IN THE NORTHERN FOREST!"

9/10/2011

Yes, I remember well the morning of 9/11! 
I had just come into the chalet after training two teams , I  turned on the TV  while having a coffee and saw the second plane hit the World Trade Center. I thought at first, it was a movie advertisement and then realized it was not.
So, in memory of that day 10 years ago, I am lovingly remembering the dogs that ran that day & have since passed away.
Until next week........

"SIBLING AFFECTION IN THE NORTHERN FOREST!"

9/4/2011

Halona showing affection for her brother Hinto or is it she is just moving in to see if there is any more food on his face? At any rate, it is a cute moment!
It has been a week of excitement here with numerous thunder storms, great lightning shows and a visit by the Vet Saturday to vaccinate all the dogs. 
As I write this, the thunder is rolling through the rainy, cloud ridden skies. Already to day, the hydro was interrupted once due to this storm.
It certainly is an exciting time when the Vet comes to vaccinate all the dogs. Some are very easy & stoic, others very excitable. It is some times a challenge with the more excitable dogs. The Puppies got their first vaccination and showed no fuss. Of coarse, they were being cradled in the arms of several assistants. We have to take all the pups out out at the same time, as to ensure each gets their vaccination ( too difficult to tell them apart). The pups showed no effect from the experience & it didn't slow them down afterwards. 
The squirrels are getting busy gathering their winter supplies and teasing (with their chatter) the hell out  of the adults in the kennel. The hunting instinct in this type of husky is certainly showing.
The weather this week has turned milder. Along with the warmer temperatures, the humidity is back.
Both David & Charlie have contacted me this week and confirmed their arrive times here at Miortuk. All the harnesses are now clean & two more freezers should arrive here in the next couple of weeks to ensure the frozen meat will be taken care of for the Winter. 
All is coming together for the upcoming season.
Until next week......
