Various Canine Companion pics...lots of pics

I'm leaving tomorrow for a week with my family. My Dad offered an all expenses paid ski trip in Jasper. How could I refuse that!? So since this is my last chance to post for awhile, here is an assortment of pictures taken over the last few days.

Chase the gentleman dog. He's such a polite boy, always crossing his paws when he lays down.

Preacher enjoying a moose bone. He may be old and blind, but his nose still works great. He can sniff out food from a mile away! His teeth still work too--that bone didn't last long!

more coming

Daisy was over for a visit the other day. Actually, she's here again right now! She might as well spend the day playing here instead of wandering the neighborhood or laying outside my gate.

Pingo playing with Heyoka and Daisy. Not a great pic, but Pingo is just learning how to play like this. Usually she runs away when the dogs start wrestling. I think it's cute that at almost 9 years old she's finally connecting with her inner puppy!

This time of year the dogs' water freezes so fast that they don't always get enough time to drink. A sled dog has to stay hydrated in order to work effectively and safely. So twice a day I take around "baited water". The bait is something tasty soaked in the water. I use chunks of meat or kibble. The dogs always drink it immediately.

nice pictures!

how often you give moose raws to who?

I love especially how sundin said it was tasty! :D

have a blast, tamaralyn!

ok thanks, and have a wonderful safe trip :)

oh I also saw sundin's missing part of tongue - unique - anything happened? I hope that's not the way they sign they're fixed? :confused:

Have a safe and fun trip. Thanks for our fill of pups before you leave and we look forward to your return.
