I agree about spring. It's so so wet outside but under the water puddles there is pure ice.

Ya eh.
And...between slush and muck and ice and frozen clumps of mud/gravel/soil

Aw. That is just too darn cute. I want one.

Actually, I've wanted one since I was about 16or17or ?.... They are really expensive here though. I think just because they are so cute is all. Are you gona use him/her in breeding program? They will for sure put some fur on the racy looking K9's you have.

Sadly he is fixed, which was a disappointment, but he was also a free dog. He's a yearling and I got him through a friend. His owners are new parents and with their new work schedules, didn't feel like they could provide him with the attention and exercise he needs. I feel bad because you can tell they just adore this dog so I promised to keep them updated on him and send them pictures of his new life being a sled dog. Today and for the next two weeks his training will mostly be learned manners like "don't jump." "sit" "Wait" "Stay" "come" and socialization.

I was just touched by his story. I'm glad you're doing all that to/for him....... and keeping in touch with his previous humans.
But ya , too bad he's "fixed".
I'm sure that won't stop him from enjoying his life tho'. Well, other than the fact he won't be able to do what God originally intended in thar de to pro-creating.
Please forgive my forthrightedness., Although I know some people that have justified it, Ive never personally been proponent to surgical(or other) method of sterilization for animals........But I have known some humans.……...

We got another two inches of powder last night. Honestly, I want it to melt so I can cart train.

Jax is adjusting very to his new home. Once I get a harness his size, I'll harness break him, which will be fun
