My Snowy Christmas 2009

Aunty Susan

It is with such sadness that we write of the passing of our great friend Susan Livingstone yesterday 20 July 2009.

We have so many wonderful happy memories of times we have shared together with the dogs. It was an honour to know Susan and call her our friend for so many years. She was always there for us when we needed advice, support, a hug, a help to the start line or simply a really good laugh, from the day we picked up Blaze and Zeni to just this weekend when she was helping us with Reiger.

Susan was mum to Loona, Turner's beautiful daughter and a wonderful kind aunty to all our dogs. Susan loved each and everyone of them and would always make a fuss of them and say hello to them individually when we were together. Blaze and Zenia adored Susan and Storm always greeted his Aunty like no one else. She always had a soft spot for Toddy and there was no one more special who could make him up to be a champion. And as for Woody, from the first day he met Susan he climbed up her for his cuddle and did that every time he saw her, no matter how dressed up she was!

Susan was so looking forward to her 'Loona and Woody' puppies and we were delighted she chose Woody for her special princess.

Susan will always be with us but we know she is already cuddling her old friends Blaze, Zeni and Turner once again.

Our hearts go out to Iain and Connor.

God bless you Susan, we miss you so much.

Hello All

Hi, Woody here at last!

Well folks, I am really sorry I haven't blogged for a while, I have just been such a busy husky, just no time to get on the PC!



So, where shall I start? Well, the biggest thing thats happened since I last updated you all is that I have become an uncle to baby Emma. Isn't that brilliant, me an uncle. Baby Emma is really clever, she has a blog already. I wonder if I can link it to here? Hmm, may be have to ask Reiger how to do that, I am sure he will know.

So, after becoming an uncle, the next HUGE thing is that I am a dad! Gorgous Jelli and me have 5 lovely little puppies.

This is them the day they were born, they are so cute.

Right, off to have my tea, back soon......

Hi Woody again...here are some more photos of me and everyone at home, including Auntie Lidia!

Hi Woody, I am HOME now!!! xo Dahlia

Hi Woody!!!
Guess what? I got to move home, to see MOM and Bridget and Bodhi and gosh, remember our buddies Boomer and Blossom??? Also Auntie Lidia came to welcome me home too, and she spent a day in the kennel with Miss W.
I am having loads of fun. I get to live with all the folks my age and we play nearly all day long every day. Things are getting muddy and mucky now, and I love it! I love to dig a little and get my white bits all nice and brown. There is a wee pup in the house who comes out to play during the day, I'd like to play with him but Miss W says I seem a bit too excited about it just yet. Both Bodhi and I are very looking forward to the day we can roll him around and tickle him.

I must say, I love being home, I wag my tail all the day and am willing to play with anyone anytime! I think Miss W enjoys my smiles, so I smile at her all the time. I also showed her how I know sit and down and wait, and she enjoys my good manners at feed time.

Miss W is a huge whale though, she used to be a bit more fun herself. She says she is having a human baby girl pup in 4 weeks or so. Yikes!

Lots of love to you WOODY!

Hi Woody from Vail

Hi Woody
This is a photo of your sister Vail, leading a 4 dog team at race down south. The 4 dog team won the 6 dog class! They were even in the local news.




This is Vail with Boulder again leading a 2 dog team.









This is Vail, baby Morgan, Boulder and Denver. They are about to be mushed by baby Morgan?

Aviemore 2009

Well Guys, Wot a time we have had recently.

We went to Aviemore. Its one of the biggest dryland races in the WORLD!!! Its huge.... I have never seen so many huskies, mals and sammys. It was a bit icy.... do any of you know about bootties made of wool that you can run on ice?

Me and Nakki, Mac, Minnie, Toddy and Spooky ran in the 6 dog class.........and wait for it.... we came 5th out of 29 teams!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! I was so chuffed as I ran lead both days.... dont let Dad kid you on that if I hadn't led the team into the heather on one day and taken the wrong turn the other we may have come higher.......

So, after we ran, Mum ran with Reiger and Moose. It was really emotional as my pal, Reiger, did so well. Remember he was so ill last summer, well, he is doing brilliantly and he and Moose came 9th out of over 40 teams....... and if Mum had been fitter and ate less donuts and been able to run up the hills they would have been even higher!!

Then Taggart and Zaki went out. Zaki was really scared on the ice (i dont blame him as it was scary) and he didnt want to run on Sunday. We are all really proud of him and Taggart and Aunty Kirsty as they did so well.

Ok, enough of my blethering ( Miss W, thats a scottish word i have learnt... it means chattering on about nothing). We have a race next weekend about 150 miles away but is is snowing a bit here. Honestly, if i was still at home with you guys you would say this snow is nothing...over here everything stops if they see one snow flake!!!!). So, we may not get to the race. I will let you know.

I hope you like the photos.

Lots of love
