Still Banana's!!!

Daemon Loves you!

Been Too Long...

Hi Y'all - the D-Man here. It's been a LONG Time since I have been able to blog. I have to give props to the blogs I read that keep it up every day - North Wapati and the Pretty Sled Dogs is my fave. 


There's been LOTS of changes in our lives the last few months - we have a new house and lots of new places to run and explore. We also finally have our  Sled - it makes funny noises and I'm not sure I like it yet. But mom and dad stay upright so they like it. Honestly, I don't know why they don't like skjoring on their belly's - it IS a low drag point. :) 


Well, I think mom has gotten her camera fixed, so I should be able to get more updates to you all soon. 


Loves, 
D

Racing Season Begins

WAAAHHHOOOOO! The Season is here! While all our friends are whining that the Rally and Herding seasons are over and they'll be locked inside all winter, Windy and I are putting our harnesses on and digging in for a great set of runs this winter. Mom and Dad are drumming up interest in the two dryland races we have and checking out new trails for us to run. 

Hank Goes Away

I am sorry to report that Hank and Daemon did not get along, and Arctic Breeds Rescue was kind enough to take him back as a foster. Hank and Daemon's mild seperation anxiety and food guarding were exacerbated in each other's insecurities. There was a scuffle and and ER visit, but I'm happy to report all are just fine. Daemon and Hank are now both under going some re-training in seperate locations.  Additionally, in D's case he is a spoiled brat and getting a 'de-punking' - as in he has to earn everything, his toy, his treats, his fetch time, his place on the bed, etc. D is a fairly obedient dog - and an exceptionally well behaved Sibe so he has gotten away with quite a bit the past 6 months, and I have to say I have enjoyed being lazy with him and Windy. However...that's over and time for everyone to get back to work and earn our keep! After that...we will look at fostering again.

Meet Hank (aka Penske)

Meet Penske/Hank: 

He's a very happy lovey boy:

He and Daemon have a similar size and gait - I think they will run well together. More to come on that later :) 

Hank (aka Penske)

We have a new foster - Penske - aka Hank (that's what Brad calls him, and he answers pretty well to it, P or Penske make him cringe and run so we re-dubbed him.)  He's a lanky sweet happy Alaskan Husky of about 5-6 years. Unfortunately, he's been starved into some bad habits - like counter cruising, dumpster diving and food guarding (not against people thankfully!) We are working on getting him a bath today and getting a picture, so we can track his progress. 


He's a very pretty guy and you can see a picture of him as a pup here: http://racerscycleservice.com/?page_id=10
