Mushing by dinner

Todays short runs took us by the cows again. Thank you Mushing Boot Camp for teaching me to appreciate the chance to test the dogs! And I suppose I have hurricane Irene to thank for the cows still being in our mountain pastures and not on the river pasture.

Pema's puppies are here! 7 lovely puppies.

6 boy puppies and 1 girl puppy.  The daddy is Bodhi.  All the puppies are white because both the mother and father are, that is how the white coat gene works in Siberian Huskies.

Pema...one week left till puppies!

Pema looks great with 1 week left to go. She has a good appetite and a happy demeanor. We cannot wait! Emma is excited too. She thinks everyone in the family is getting a puppy and regular discussions about gentle handling are followed with Emma naming everyone who lives up here on the mountain.

Sled Dog Trade Fair in Hopkinton

I had a great time at the sled dog trade fair today. Saw old friends, bought mushing supplies and checked out new products. There were 2 vendors there with very nice training rigs.
This year I went to listen to the speakers Rene Marchildon and Mike Ellis. Very worthwhile!  I wish I could have stayed for the pot-luck dinner but momma-duty calls.

Check it out, tomorrow there are more fun events: rig race followed by more special topics from some of the speakers.
Click this Sled dog Trade Fair Link to see the schedule, speaker's topics and other information.

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.

Thats not a clump of siberian hair...thats a SUPER fuzzy caterpillar!
