"Busy Week Here In The Northern Forest!"

It was a busy week here at Miortuk with Handler/Trainee interviews, visits to the medical clinic to remove stitches from my finger & go for the monthly supply of meat for the dogs. However, I didn't get anything accomplished on making the new dog houses. Hopefully, this week will be productive on housing project.
The puppies are growing & getting more stable on their walking. They are starting to play with each other  more & are experimenting on getting to taste their mothers food. With this method of feeding & watering Tanya with her puppies, the puppies develop their taste for solid foods  resulting in them being weaned by five to six weeks of age. When the puppies are weaned, Tanya will be placed back in the kennel.
The nights & early mornings are getting cooler with temperatures below 10 celsius. With these temperatures the early conditioning phase of the new seasons training will be able to commence in early September. 
It is my pleasure to announce that Michelle Staaf & Christoffer Gustafsson, from Sweden, will be joining the Miortuk Team for the 2014/15 season. 
Now the Handler/Trainee positions here are booked for the next two seasons.
Until next week..........
