Mommys dog list

I get to look it over and then we discuss..who will run where..and why.
I love talking dogs.

Hugging my dogs!

I love Ethan and Dakota! Dakota is Jackie's dog and she likes it when I hug her.

I even hug my pretend dog, Andy. I love to give hugs. Mommy says hugs are good.

Happy Birthday Mommy!

my first Halloween!

Mommy, me (lady bug) and daddy..he was a fisherman and mommy was a devil!
Daddy put real fish into his net-he wore the nest over his life jacket and once we were all dressed up, we went to Meier's Lake Roadhouse for some good fun and yum foods.

Kissing mommy!

Mommy loves her little lady-bug!

I was signing for milk! Mommy, too!

Our friend, Ania made us a cake with Nutella on the top! Thank you Ania!

It's been awhile since I posted on this...... Today was a loong training day--60 miles on the 4-wheeler; 36 dogs in 3 teams. The trail is very good for people on ATV's in areas, a little too easy for the dogs. Good for dogs in other sections and will beat you to a frazzle on the rig. We switched off; Zoya did the first run with Jackie and I took Jona for a hike in the woods, showed her some rabbit tracks in the day-old snow. She was sound asleep about a mile into the walk, so I brougt her back to the truck. Zoya stayed the next with Jona on the next run while I took our new hander out. We did the next run together and Jona had a couple of sitters with her. We put the 36 dogs back in the truck for the short run home---then out they come to go back to their houses; the handlers and I do that while Zoya is Mom. Finally all of the outside chores are done and the three of us get to have some family time. Dinner is later than that of most households I am thinking..... and we probably start a little earlier in the day......Jona gets some play time after dinner, oh yeah, I guess at dinner also----some food gets scattered here and there, the two house dogs, Maudie and Ethan are pretty happy with that. I'm not sure who enjoys the after dinner reading time more, Mom or Jona. I do know that Jona is sleeping first---at least tonight----sometimes it is the other way around.

play time at the library!

peek a boo mommy!

Me & Jackie!


ania and jackie played puppets with me!

Mommy is getting ready to load the sled dogs into the trailer. I like to watch from this window. Sometimes I have to share it with Ethan, our house dog!
