Cat Watching

Once in a while, I actually put Laddie in his crate.
Gasp!
Yes, once in a while he gets treated like a..., dare I say it?... D...D....DDDOG!

It doesn't stop him from watching the cats when they get up on my desk.
Sometimes I look over and he looks like this:He'll hold that pose for as long as the cats are sitting there.
Today I looked over and he was holding this pose:Really, Laddie.
I think you need a new hobby.

It's All In The Eyes

I love my dog Hemp but I just can't take a good picture of him.They say the eyes are the window to the soul and in Hemp's case I believe it.
His activity level is very high and when you look into his eyes it reflects it.
His pictures almost always come out badly because of this.
I tried to take a nice picture of him and Lad in front of a stone wall and his energy even made Lad look a little crazy.If you can't see his eyes very well, then maybe...But most of the time it comes out looking like this.Kinda makes you want to sleep with one eye open when you know this is what shares a house with you!

The Visit

Monday we had a visit from some different kinds of working dogs.
The North Wapiti pretty sled dogs! They (and head musher, Karen, and the newest musher, Richard and Helen their handler) were passing through on their way back from a race.
We were excited to have them stop over for the night.
Their "truck-dog" is a border collie who used to belong to us so they are family now anyway.
They were the best behaved guests and since Scott and I travel our dogs in much the same way, we spent alot of time observing their chores and quizzing the mushers to learn how to make our travels easier.
Unfortunately we didn't have enough snow in the right places to get a sled ride but the company more than made up for that. Come back anytime, guyz!
