Perhaps the high winds in the coming storm will blow all the clumps of hair off Emma-Leigh. She never lets me brush her....her fur has to just fall off or be shampoo'd and blow dried off.
We are busy preparing the kennel and the house for the storm. I just screwed all the dog house roofs down and pushed houses into more stable clumps. We are picking up all the small things outside now. Later I am planning to put dogs in the dog truck for the worst of the storm. Maybe use part of the barn and also the puppy room for older or bigger dogs. I can't see Hakka in a dog box for long nor ancient Blanche in one at all!

Our other animals...aka dinner.

Emma shares her Sled Dog Bookshelf!

My two year old daughter Emma has decided to share her Sled Dog Bookshelf. We hope folks enjoy it.  She  loves books about dogs, but her favorite stuffed animals are a beagle and a basset hound!  Go figure.

Smart Emma-Leigh in 95 degree weather. She's clever cute & a good sled dog too!

One word...HANDSOME!

Kubota is a seriously handsome and cuddly guy.  His fur is thick and rich...his  eyes so beautiful...look closely....they are rather unique!  He is a dream on the dog sled tour team, a great leader I can trust to get through thick and thin!

What'r they doing it's 90 and 90% humidity...get out of the sun!You'r siberians

Feeding Sled Dogs...

Twinkle, Turbo then Bodhi demonstrate what sled dogs do for food in the summer.  In the winter of course they give dog sled rides...but in summer they have to do obedience routines in order to earn their supper.

Java Bean - Joyful Java! Happy Sled Dog!

My handsome Java Bean...love you boy! Why did he get that name?? When he was a puppy he lived at Donna Johnson's with his mom and litter mates. I could tell the girls apart easily but not the boys. Finally I could tell Java apart from his brothers. He had a small black spot on his muzzle. When it was time to give him a real name I thought he was small, round and uplifting...so I named him Java Bean! Then for his registered name, since he was bred at the Blackwater kennel, I named him Blackwater's Whitewater.

Hakka wonders.....

Hakka...what is dancing around you??

Baths....past the half way point!

The summer chore of giving baths is well underway.  Every sled dog deserves at least one bath!  Giving families dog sled rides in the winter is hardly a dirty sport, but the baths do help the winter coats shed out.

I have completed 14 out of 25 total baths.  Remarkably, the worst behaved dog was Angus, our Aussie, who does not participate in dog sled rides or tours.  Maybe he should...  he certainly has a lot of energy and he also has a lot of coat, he is always toasty!

Blanche, who is 17, managed her bath with grace and looks like a movie star.  Trader, who is 15, got through his with no muss of fuss either, but was quiet tired by the experience.  The prime aged dogs who make up our working dog sled tour teams have been somewhat more challenging, some being quite vocal about their dislike of water.  Oh dear!  But they all seem very happy to be clean, dry and separated from a lot of insulating fluff.

How can Blanche be 17??? She is so mobile and social. It's insane. Even after her bath she is full of life.
We love you Blanche!
