Americano Blue's musher/mushing chat thread

[charnic44]

Good 1 Blue.
Char, if you can print that off, maybe even a few copies????? casually leave it on the coffee table????? on page 2 of 4???? Be reading it when everyone else is gathered watching TV???? leave the papers on the couch when you get up to go to??? the biffy???? the kitchen for a glass of water????
I remember a prayer I heard one time, "God, please grant me patience. But please hurry."
After a long absence from musher I got back into it when I was 36.

Haha I might do that. I'm also making a binder for all the costs and equipment needed and information about breeds and stuff. Then I'll give it to them 'cause if the won't listen to what I have to say, maybe they will read what I'm trying to tell them.

Do they know that if a husky is not penned or chained, they will run away and either get shot, hit by a cat, or killed by an animal?

Nala runs free. She comes back but nala also has ran away before. She was gone for 3days. She came back though.

Will they allow them to live in a horse stall with a pasture?

Thanks for the link.
I'm gonna do that.
Basically they're saying if the dog isn't loose it's whole life, it doesn't have a nice life. A good idea, though. I'm going to ask them about it.
They would only allow them to be loose. I'd be happy with even 1 dog. Though, I would want 16. (Which will NEVER happen while I'm living with them) That way I'd have a team of 12 with 4 extras (either older dogs for training pups, pups in training, or pregnant dogs). But for now, I'm okay with 6.

D you plan to go pro?

I was thinking of doing like 20-25 for the chains. I'm on 5acreas but animal are on the back half. So I might have to do less. There's always trial time.
The cutest thing just happened! Hank got out of the pen and can't up stairs to say hello to me!!
I'm alot better today, just light headed and dizzy to day.

I still don't want to risk it with the litte pups. .

There 7weeks old today!! I'm excited but so sad. The leave in a week!

Most kennels I've been to have 10ft chains or less. I would like to do 10ft or 15ft. But my current set up only lets me do 12 or 8

My freinds did. So if definitely pen up sibs! Nala's just strange. If I get hank he'll be an indoor/outdoor dog. So he'll have his own set up outside.

I have 4 dogs right now that aren't even on an acre. They don't take up much space, depending on how many dogs.

I know, but I plan to have a play area. For those hot days and days I can't run them.
