Posing Pacer...3 pics

[Glacier]

I love the way the tips of Pacer's ears flip back--his little devil horns!

"I am not going to look at you,so just put that thing down!" Pacer is not a fan of having his picture taken.

Yup, he had just had his morning bowl of baited water. I put a couple scoops of kibble in 5 gallons of water twice a day and haul it around. This time of year their water freezes so fast that they can't drink whenever they want! A couple of the pens have water troughs with heaters in them, but not all of them yet. The pens without heated troughs get baited water. The bait ensures even the fussy ones will drink and it keeps them well hydrated, ready to work.

"baited water", how interesting! Tell Pacer he has a counterpart here. Star hates having her picture taken too, she will not look at the camera! I can't tell you how many of those eyes-shut turn-my-head shots I have of her. silly dogs! He does have cute ears! He looks really cool with all those snowy trees in the background.

There's that handsome man. I love seeing him, he reminds me (look wise) of Nanook when he was younger. :D

How is Sundin doing anyways?

Pacer you are so handsome, let your Mom take your picture so we can see you. :D

Baited water.....hmmmm, one of the things we Floridians don't have to worry about. We have to worry about keeping the water cool enough to drink. :rolleyes:

Pacer is quite a handsome dog. He looks a little cat-like with his eyes closed like that! How long does it take to care for so many dogs everyday? It must take quite a while in the winter.

What a cutie! I just love his frost beard. :D

How is Sundin doing anyways?

Sundin is probably the happiest dog in the yard. He's full of energy, bouncing and running all day. He has discovered rope toys and almost always has one in his mouth lately. He's eating well, gets along great with his pen mates(Pacer and Chum). He just won't let me touch him. Stuart and I tried to corner him a couple days ago. Sundin thought it was a great game!

LOL i can see you running like crazy LOL what fun time he had, i´m sure

How long does it take to care for so many dogs everyday? It must take quite a while in the winter.

It definately takes longer in the winter. I have to take water around much more frequently. In the summer, I can fill up big bowls, but that doesn't work in the winter. I have to put more time into their food as well--thawing the meat enough that I can chop it, soaking kibble, cooking "slump" when it's really cold. I would say on average, just the basics of food, water, handing out pills, poop scooping, straw delivery ect takes about 3 hours a day. Running them takes at least 2 hours more. Plus there's all the other stuff--playing with them, clipping nails, making sure they are healthy & happy, cuddles on the couch ect, ect. They take up the majority of my "free" time.
