"we're coming, Mom" (Paxil, Chum & Ozzy) "Put the leashes away!"

Ozzy the happy!

Chum trying to catch Ozzy. It worked out really well to take those two with the two older females. They entertained each other and left Sleet and Paxil alone!

Stopping to check out a puddle. Sleet refused to go in. Mud does not touch her pretty paws!

Ozzy won't swim, but he tries to walk on water.

Sleet running as fast as she can. Oh, she's getting slow, but she tries as hard as she can.

More of Sleet. I don't have words for how much I love this little dog. She's my canine soulmate.

Heading for home. It's a little smokey out today. There are some big fires in Alaska right now. I think that's where the smoke is coming from as the forest fire season right around here has been pretty quiet.

One last one of Paxil. She is so happy when she gets to run loose.

That's all...........

Ozzys long legs made me :D he looks like hes part deer or something in that one shot. LOL

your crew always looks happy. :)

gorgeous pictures!

how do you keep up with your dogs? I suppose they walk ahead and then run back to you.

Look at these legs!!!!

My gosh, they go on and on...Great pics of your pups. Always looking so happy out and about. And the scenery is breath taking too. :)

I wish I lived somewhere where mine could go for walks off leash -your crew always look so happy! Do you think they stick together because they're used to pulling together?

Wonderful pics. Your bunch always seem so happy. Isn't it great to have somewhere to let them roam free, well, almost free. Ya gotta have borders.

Your dogs are so cute. How many do you have?

What beautiful photos. Have you ever come across wildlife when you walk your dogs? What's that paved road? Is it busy? You're so lucky to live in such a beautiful part of the country. I can't wait to see more pictures!

:D

That's what I was going to ask also.:) I love these pictures.
It makes me happy to see all your dogs just being themselves.:D

The pups look so happy! Sleet is such a pretty lady, I love her ears, I don't know why:p

Ozzy looks like he is trying to impress somebody, he must think the world is a perfect place, we need more of those around;) I love the shot of him try to be Jesus, and of course the "legs" shot, lol!

Great pictures!

I don't even try to keep up when I'm walking. I can keep up when I ride my bike. I keep them in sight and call them back frequently. They run at least twice as far as I walk.

I think it's mainly a pack thing. They stay with their buddies. A couple years ago we had a major escape--tree took out the fence. Even the dogs who aren't allowed off leash got out. When we found them, they had split into little groups. Everyone went with their best buddies.

We see critters quite often. It's been awhile since we saw a porcupine--knock on wood! We see lots of squirrels, grouse, ptramigan, and water birds. Occasionally we run into a moose. Moose tend to move more when it's cooler so we usually only see them when I'm out later in the evenings. Don't like Moose and moose don't like dogs. Fortunately, the dogs seem to know that and all come back to me. Except Muskwa, but you'll notice he's not in the off leash pics very often! We've had a couple bear encounters, but never any trouble with the bears.

That's our subdivision road. It's not really paved. They dumped some tar on top of the gravel and call it "chipsealed"! It's not busy at all. I have to cross it once to get to the lake and again on the way home. I rarely have to wait for a car. The dogs all stop at the road. I always stop the sled there to check for traffic so they are used to stopping before crossing.

That's so cool! And 22 dogs! Holy cow!

What fun you all are having. I wish I had an area I could do that in with my dogs. Great pictures.

Great pictures!

With all those pups, I bet you never have a dull moment :D

Great pictures. :) I always enjoy seeing your dogs, all 22 of them. ;) And I like the fact that they stuck together when they got loose, it kept them safe and easier to find. That is so cute. :)

Those are great pics!!! Thanks so much for sharing .....:)

Those are, as always, great shots! I love seeing your dogs out and off leash like that, they look so happy!

Those are some really nice pics! I love that one of Ozzy and I know just how you feel about Paxil. I guess we all have one dog like that in our lifetime. Looks like you had a nice walk.

Your pups look very happy as always :) Great pics! :)

"mud does not touch her pretty paws" sounds like Autumn in a prissy mood. I'm quite jealous of all the trails you have to take walks on. I'd love nothing more than taking a pack of dogs for a good walk through the wild. You've got the good life and so do all the happy huskies. I love pics of the older ones they have so much wisdom in them.

Love the pics, your pups always seem to have so much fun.:)

What a great time all of you must have had. I just can't get over how long Ozzy's legs are. You are truly blessed. :)

They are all beautiful girls...on a beautiful walk. :)

Great pictures and its so interesting seeing where you live and reading about the wildlife there.

Oh my, you have to know by now Glacier how much I dearly love seeing your pack. Happier dogs I've never seen! Can you imagine how drab and boring a walk by yourself would be? ;) I was thinking about that this weekend when I was walking with my two out at Quarry, a lot of the joy in the walk is watching their joy :)
