Fishing

Hi Woody. we have not met yet. i am Reiger and i will be your pack leader when you join us. i am told that i am a very fair leader and everyone likes me.

This is me fishing for salmon in the river by our house. i was down there today but i didn't see any. They usually come in October so i was a bit early. Me and dad had a lovely walk and i paddled for ages in the river. Mum was working.

i am really looking forward to meeting you.

Love Reiger. XXX

Dad went to a show too!

hello Woody

Just ignore Storm..... i know he is going on about his weekend but he is not really big headed. He hasn't been to many shows so he is really chuffed. He wants to go to Crufts next year but he can't as we are all going to Sweden instead.

Does Mr Terry like dog shows? Dad doesn't so he and uncle Matt went to a car show instead. This is his car, she is called Kitty. For some reason we are not allowed in her. I don't know why?

oops...have to go...mum says tea is ready...... bye for now, love Toddy xx

Hello Woody

Well, hello Woody. My, you are growing into a handsome little boy. I loved your photo of you in the truck. Dad said he liked the truck too.

We have had a really busy weekend and went to two championship shows. On Saturday we went to the Scottish Kennel Club Show. Mac won his class and Minnie got third in her class, which was good as there were lots of girlies in it. There were lots of boys in Toddy's class and he was short listed to the last 7 but wasn't placed. Mum said he moved really well but looked like a sack of potatoes as he is so bored in the show ring and just wants to be in the forest running.

On Saturday night we had 6 people and 50 dogs staying so we had a real party!

On Sunday we went to the Scottish Husky Club Championship Show. We had Simon Luxmoore judging the girls and a danish judge judging the boys. Well...........we had an amazing day. Minnie won her class and then won the Reserve Bitch CC. Best Bitch went to Mac's granny, Lara ke Teklanika, who came over here from Alaska 3 years ago from Judy Currier. I hear my old pal Turner was actually her first 'husband' before she came here. Miss W maybe met their son, Chatters, before he moved to Sweden.

Then, would you believe it, I won vintage dog and then the Reserve Dog CC. That gives me my KC stud book number which qualifies me for Crufts for life! I also won Best Vintage Dog in show. Me, ....a vintage dog... I'm only 10 and 3/4s! My pal Naska also won 3rd in the Open dog class which also gave him his KC stud book number. The picture is of me and Naska. I am the handsome light one and Naska is talking to Dad.

I have asked mum to take pictures of me and all my trophies and rosettes but she hasn't yet. You know, after all these years, she still doesn't always do what i tell her!

well, snooze time now. Us more mature dogs need our beauty sleep.

Regards

Dear Loona and Steelie and Toddy
How did they go???
Who else went???

Love Woody

Woody at the Vets

Hi Woody here again.
I hope no one thinks I am bragging, but here I am with my new friend, my vets daughter. She's a fourth grader! WOW!
She was with me when I got my micro chip and I hope she will back me up when I say I did not make a peep!

Love Woody

Woody and the Wood Truck

Hi all
Woody here, sending a big tail wag and a woo woo.

This weekend was really rather quiet, accept for my getting to go to the vet for a rabies shot and a microchip. I met some Boston Terriers and also a little girl who belonged to Dr Moritz. I also met a crazy bird dog who shook drool all over my head and Miss W almost gagged. That part was funny!

This is me in Terry's truck, but I did not get to go for a ride. It was just a photo-op. Maybe next time he will let me drive??? I think I am almost big enough to at least reach the steering wheel. Someone else will have to run the pedals. Miss W says she got to drive the LOG truck, which is way bigger than the wood truck. But no photos to prove it...funny that....

I am still looking for stories and pictures from all you out there...

Lots of love
WOODY

More photos

Hi everyone!
Hey, I think it is story time.
Toddy, it's your turn to tell a good story I think....
I don't have much news here. Miss W has been letting Nikka play with me and my siblings lately. Nikka is black and white like I am, and seem to think I need an extra ounce of attention... she likes to tickle my belly a lot. Bodhi was gone two nights in a row sleeping in the house. And now Bridget is! I want a turn too!

Woody and Ford say Hi

Hi Everyone!
Woody here. That's me and my pal Ford hangin' out at the farm.
We are celebrating bcs Miss W is back from North Carolina where she went for training for work. We wish she would just quit with this work thing, but anyhoo.....

Sad news for the team, our entry missed Can Am. We don't even seem to be on the waiting list.
Maybe this is fate though.... bcs in a few years my friends and siblings here will be ready to join in on the fun???

Well, toodles for now. We are busy trying to drive Edith, our kennel nanny, crazy. We escape INTO the house!!!! Fun Fun!!!

Hello from Ammo!

Hi everbody, I am Ammo, brother of Woody and Dahlia and the other pups for those that don't know me. My posh name is Barking Brooks Amarillo Slim of Shaytaan, it is a very important name, well I am a VIP (Very Important Puppy) according to my Mummy.

I live with another 21 Siberian Huskies, and they are all VIP's too, well they are VID's now, except for Cassie and my best friend Eclipse who are still VIP's like me!

I live in the girls pen with the 5 girls, they are BEAUTIFUL, all the boys next door are jealous of me and I keep barking at them and showing off 'cos I'm in with the girls. Mummy says I won't be in here much longer and then I have to go in the boys pen, and I won't be laughing so much then and that Uncle Keelut and Uncle Cal are going to bite my arse for teasing them. I think she's joking (I hope!)

Anyway I play with Uncle Keelut and Uncle Cal in the house and they are just like puppies too, it's great fun! They are MUCH bigger than me though, so sometimes it's a bit scary! They told me stories about when someone called Winter comes and he's really cold and white. I wonder if he is a husky? I know lots of white Huskies, but they are all warm?!

Anyway, when Winter comes, all the dogs put harnesses on and get to pull Daddy and Mummy along on something called an ATV or a sled, which are those things that are hanging from the roof where my bed is I think?! It's all very complicated. Keelut and Cal said it is GREAT FUN and they got all excited talking about it. It sounds like hard work to me, but they promised me I will love it!

Anyway, I had better go now, Mummy wants the computer back and she says I've left muddy paw prints all over the keyboard........oh dear!

From my wee sister Dahlia's Mom

Written by Corina from nearby Kiana Siberians.
About Dahlai (Woody, Bridget and Bodhi's sister) and the 3 puppies she has joined:

Anyone who has raised a puppy knows that they like to put everything in their mouth. Sometimes they eat the object. Other times they chew on the object until they destroy it or drop it because they found something new to put in their mouth. Raising four puppies at once means that we are always running around behind them pulling things from their mouths.

Last night we drove the puppies up to our usual walking trail. We let the pups out of the car and off they went to find fun things to put in their mouths. Each night we walk this 1.5 mile trail with them, and each night they find new things.

Two minutes into the walk Lucas found an old spray paint can. He held his head high and ran down the trail with his new prize. Lucas could not believe that he found such a neat treasure which made such a cool noise as he ran. His sisters, jealous that they did not spot it first, were in hot pursuit. Weather knocked Lucas off his feet, and Scott took away the can.

Off the puppies went because only a few feet away was their favorite rotting log. Yum! All four puppies started chowing down. We caught up to them and told them "on-by" which got them moving again.

Then came the mushroom feast. They ate mushroom after mushroom. It is hard to get them to not eat mushrooms because they are everywhere and they eat them so quickly.

When we get to the stinky mud puddle they forget all about the mushrooms. They love to stick their faces in the mud and get their fill. We have to catch up to them and tell them "on-by" to get them moving again. No worries because their is an even bigger, even stinkier, mud puddle just up ahead. In they go getting their fill of stinky mud. We catch up and tell them "on-by" to get them moving again.

The next thing on the trail is the rotting hay. Every couple of weeks a farmer spreads hay on the trail to help with the stinky mud puddles so that they can get the tractor in to hay the fields. Each night we have to catch up with them to get them to stop eating the hay.

The puppies got to the end of the trail when all four stopped to look at something off the side of the trail. Half joking I said to Scott and Ali "It must be something dead because of the interest they are showing!" we quickened our pace to catch up to them. All three of us caught up to the pups and saw that it was a dead bunny rabbit. Mr. bunny looked as though he was sleeping. The poor thing must have been hit by the tractor. He had dark brown fluffy fur. Part of me wanted to pick him up and send him on his way, the other part of me knew that he was dead. We called the puppies off and tried to get them to head back. Lucas and Letty came, but Weather and Dahlia were still trying to investigate. Dahlia started barking and poking the bunny with her nose. The bunny was almost the same size as her, but since Mr. Bunny did not fight back she decided it was safe because she grabbed the bunny by the middle and took off towards Letty, Lucas and me. I was horrified. Everything went into slow motion. Dahlia's little feet in the air at the same time as the bunny's head and rear end went into the air. Dahlia's little feet hit the ground and down went the bunny's head and rear end. A great big smile in Dahlia's eyes. Letty and Lucas, now interested in the fluffy brown treasure left my side to catch up to Dahlia. Weather trailing right behind Dahlia. I screamed to Scott "get it away from YOUR puppy!" Scott got her to drop it. I called them to me, but only Letty came. Scott got two sticks to use like chop sticks and he picked the bunny up by the leg and tossed him into the woods. It was horrible, and I could not help but do a full body shudder.

Fan Hitch

Dear Toddy, Steelie, Loona, Erif, Mac, Hugh and Judy
Hi it's me Woody, getting a quick chance at the computer while Miss W is away in North Carolina and some silly computer class.

Hey this is me with Bridget, Bodhi and Blue Dog. Guess where we are?!??! Hill Village, the mecca for local mushers. We are wearing our play harnesses for the first time cuz Miss W says we just choke ourselves pulling. After this photo we started working on gee-over. We also tried a little swimming (oops) and splashing. It's been hot.

What have you all been up to? We've been doing the usual, a few good walks each week, romping every day a few times with the Cinni Buns in the big yard. Trying to break out of the big yard has been fun too! We keep Terry busy filling holes and fixing fences.

Well, must run and cuddle with mom.
Luv-
WOODY

Visit from Auntie Vicki

Hi Toddy and Mac
I love the photo of everyone and Dad.
You are lucky you get to go train in summer. Lately it's been hot and humid here. Only us little puppies get to do much. We can run loose on the trail out back, or go on leash on hiking trails. But we have to stop lots and get in the stream or swamp.

This past weekend our friend Vicki came to help do stack shots of the cinni-bun puppies. She played with us too, and I especially loved her. This is a photo of her and I bonding. She is a nice lady and has lots of big beautiful doggies at home, she has Malamutes! Way cool.

Tell everyone I said hi. Oh - and Mac - which one are you in the photo????

Love,
Woody
