Struggles of a Working Breed

As Siberian Huskies, we know well of the struggles of a working breed dog, so we would like to share some examples.

Our Hu-Dad made us work yesterday by attending the Haywood Waterways Polar Plunge. For those of you not accustomed to watching working breeds, we suggest you shield your eyes.

Cute hat. Can I have it?

Cute hat. Can I have it?

We had to sit there with person after person wanting to give us hugs and kisses and loving. Can you imagine how difficult that was?

Work. Work. Work.

Work. Work. Work.

Hours and hours of this work. Can you imagine? We know we have your complete sympathy by now.

Not sure I can work any harder, but someone has to sacrifice.

P.S. – We received lots of Valentines in yesterday’s mail and will have a fresh tally for you Monday morning. Time is starting to run out, so make sure you mail your Valentines to Dog’s Name, PO Box 1835, Maggie Valley, NC 28751. And, if you wish, enclose a check made payable to Sarge’s Animal Rescue Foundation. Your donations will help homeless dogs and cats like Mabel:

    That truly does look like hard work! The collies attend “Meet the Breeds” events, so they really understand! You have their sympathy!

    Ah, the price of fame. The herd are such good breed ambassadors.

Wings of Doom

A simple nightly routine with my dogs led me to face the wings of doom, a hideous creature that lurks in the shadows of my yard.
