Kodiak Getting Comfortable

August 5, 2009 |

Get comfortable?  Sure I can get comfortable. See.  Stretched out.  More relaxed. Too relaxed?

Can You See Me Now? Part II

August 4, 2009 |

A month ago, Qannik showed you his attempt at hiding in the brush.  Many of you were correctly critical that Qannik might be able to hide in a snow bank, but the white fur does not hide him too well in brush. Kiska decided that she also wanted to try the hiding in the brush…

Cousin Tartok Working Hard

August 3, 2009 |

Warning, pups.  Our humans went to our hu-grandparents house Saturday night and came back with disturbing stories about how hard our Cousin Tartok is working.  Now we know that he, like us, is a member of the Working Dog class, but this amount of effort is totally exhausting.  Please don’t attempt this without sufficient training…

Good News

August 2, 2009 |

Good news for our big boy, Kodiak.  Long time readers will remember that when we first adopted Kodiak, we discovered that he was heartworm positive and had to go through the difficult treatment.  Fortunately, he came through that with flying colors and began adding weight, topping out around 60 lbs (27 kg). When we entered…

Cheoah Growing Up

August 1, 2009 |

Looking through some pictures of last weekend, I realized that “little” Cheoah is really maturing.  We think she is two years old now and still has much puppy exuberance, but she is learning to be much calmer on the drop line.  As evidenced below: Don’t I look all calm and relaxed? Bouncy?  Me?  Never. Sitting…

More Herd Publicity for Sarge’s Animal Rescue Foundation

July 31, 2009 |

Last May, we showed you a picture that ran in our local paper, The Mountaineer, of The Herd during Sarge’s Dog Walk.  Yep, that is Kiska, Qannik, Rusty, Natasha and Kodiak from the 2007 walk (pre-Cheoah days). Imagine our surprise when we opened the Mountaineer this week and found a nice article about the upcoming…

Family Portrait

July 30, 2009 |

We thought we were doing such a good job getting everyone to pose and look at the camera.  Everyone seemed to be following me with their eyes: But then I realized that they did not seem to be looking directly at me.  They seemed to be staring past me.  Mind you, I am used to…

Campbell Station Park – Farragut, Tennessee

July 29, 2009 |

Saturday afternoon found us out in the west side of Knoxville, Tennessee.  We needed to find somewhere to burn some energy off of The Herd (despite their morning walk and their evening walk – they needed a midday walk).  So we stopped at Campbell Station Park in Farragut, Tennessee.  Very nice little park with a…

Rainy Walk

July 28, 2009 |

An experience that any human should have at least once: You wake up.  It is 6 a.m.  You know perfectly well that if you move, change your breathing pattern, or open an eye, six Siberian Huskies will immediately start clamoring for attention.  You try to remain still and continue to pretend to be asleep.  This…

Norris Dam

July 27, 2009 |

Well, nice to be back home and have access to the internet again (since our hu-dad so carefully left the house without his laptop card).  That just means that we will spend this week’s posts telling you about our adventure this weekend.  We took off for Norris Dam State Park.  Yes, we have been there…

Kodiak has been well trained by the masters of the Army of Four – Zim and Stormy.  Click their names to see the post with their begging skills demonstrated.  And now that you have done that, could you resist this face when you are trying to eat your breakfast?
