What a glorious fall we have had here in Fairbanks. It just recently frosted and almost broke a record for the latest frost. My flowers are still in bloom at this late date.
But the dogs are breathing in that winter air. They are restless and getting a bit more feisty now that it is getting colder. We continue to let them loose every day to run off that energy, but they really just want to be out running in front of the 4 wheeler. We will start training very soon.
Skittle is going to her new home on Saturday. This is a very happy, yet an extremely sad day for us. We have had her since she was a 10 day old puppy, emaciated and full of lice, along with her sister and her mother. Skittle has found a home with a family in Anchorage and Don will take her halfway to meet up with her new family. I love her so much but know that she will do great in a home with a family and one other dog.
Shaman, our newest rescue, continues to improve on his shyness. Although we still can't directly approach him without him diving into his house, he often will come up to us when he is loose for a sniff or a quick pat in the yard. He loves playing with Kiche and is very full of energy. The dog is non-stop motion when he is loose. He lopes around the yard the whole time. He is probably a year old now and we are excited to put him in the team.
All our rescue/SCL dogs are doing well. We are all looking forward to snow and colder weather.
