We got to puppy sit a bit last week, which was as enjoyable as I'd imagined...and probably the smelliest thing I've ever encountered. Who knew such cute little bundles could also create the most rank little piles? :)
It was a good experience, since I was considering sneaking one into our back little room (Sammy had a ball with them, Harley growled every time they got too close) but the smelliness won me over to be content with our 2 grown up, house trained "pups".
These little guys actually made getting pictures rather difficult. They never sat still unless they were being held or in their crate or box.
And, Husky or no, all puppies love shoe strings!
Sammy enjoyed playing with the little guys, though I think she was happy when they went to "work" up on the glacier, too.
Hard to believe in just a year those little guys will be the big, tough, real deal Huskies like these fellas. I think if anyone needs a new weight loss plan, it should be to eat and run like mushing dogs. They have a special high protein, low carb diet and there is no fat on these dogs! Poor Harley and Sammy look a little out of place around them. :) But then again, so do I next to most of the mushers we're working with!
With that thought, I'll finish this blog and my bowl of ice cream. Another reason I like it here? Alaskans eat more ice cream per capita then in any other place...is that true? I don't know, but a musher told me that and it just gave me yet another reason to like Alaska.
