Y'all asked for them....Deuce pics...

I spent most of today in Deuce's pen. Last summer we cut down a bunch of trees in there and then the wind knocked even more over last fall. They are all nice and dry now. Perfect for the new woodstove. So far I've hauled about three cords of wood out--there's lots left in there and we need way more than that to get through the winter! But whenever the chainsaw ran out of gas or I needed a break, I took pictures of Deuce and company.

"Guys, I think she's coming to see us"
(He's standing on top of his dog house in his sleeping pen. Deuce has his own pen to sleep in so Raven gets a break from him. He can't jump over and even if he could, he just ends up in another pen. There are four gates to go through to get into their pen!

Mac.."I think you're right Deuce and I think she has treats!"

The boys waiting for their treats. Antare, Mac & Deuce. Raven also lives with them, but she wouldn't pose for pictures today. Far too busy sleeping in the husky barn.

In his favorite place, on top of a dog house. I rarely see him inside the dog houses, but he loves to hang out on the tops.

"Raven, stop that, it tickles!"

"Just a minute, Mom, these flies are buggin me. "
Do not visit the Yukon in September. The black flies are awful! I had on full bug gear today, including a face mask. DEET does nothing to these little demons. The dogs get horse bug repellent put on them every day, but I'm not sure it helps a whole lot!

"Ok, rolling around got rid of them for a minute. What did you want?"
I wanted to rake where he was laying, but I gave up!

My handsome boy! The bump on his nose is still there, no worse, no better. It doesn't bother him at all though so I'm just leaving it alone.

That's all for now................

Deuce is gorgeous! I love the picture of him on top of the dog house :)

The pictures are gorgeous Glacier!! Deuce is such a handsome man. We love seeing pics of your dogs. They actually look like they could be talking in those photos. Is it getting cold there yet or are you working in shortsleeves? It's still like summer here basically but cooling down a little.:D

No shortsleeves here! I wore a sweatshirt and a waterproof jacket today--it was sprinkling occasionally. It's definately fall here. I have my windshield scraper back out. I've had to use it a couple mornings now. I cleaned my greenhouse out yesterday. It's getting cold enough to freeze in there a night now.

How gorgeous!!!
What great pics - they always seem to be smiling ..... :D

omg there beutiful doggies

Deuce is gorgeous!:)

OOOOuuuu, I just love seeing your huskies!!!!
I really like all three boys waiting for treats - being such good dogs, sitting pretty, waggin tails, big smiles! And the one of Antare being tickled is terrific, what a great expression on his face. Thanks for sharing your sweeties with us!

He's so unique looking! Those are wonderful shots of your boys, as always...thank you for posting them!

Such happy, happy doggies. Thank you for sharing their smiles.

I would love to have some cool weather here!! It must be nice. Enjoy:D

I just can't get over how happy he looks! It really shows that he's got a great home.

I absolutely love the one of all three of them. That is a good enough picture to put in a frame.

Those are really good pictures! Deuce has a great smile. I love the picture of all three. How cold does it get there in the winter?

-20C is an average high in December & January. We get about three weeks usually where -40C is the high and -30C isn't unusual.

Yay Glacier pups. They always look so happy. Must be a hard job to keep that many dogs happy. I like Deuce on top on the dog house, he's saying this is mine and I am king. :)

Cute pics!
I love Mac & Antare's smiles!!! :D

Great photos. Everybody looks happy. I bet they can't wait for snow!

:D

OMG, the "tickle" pictures had me LOL!!!! :D
Oh Deuce... he sure is a handsome man!!! WOW!!!
Great Pictures! I'm sure I'll go back a few times to look at them again... and again... :p

He's so handsome! :)

Deuce sure is a looker! All of your dogs are!

Do you think that Deuce showed aggressive behaviors becuase he had chosen you already? Just a thought.

Such cuties! :D

lovely :)

just wondering.. what are huskies favourite treats? :D

I think Deuce seemed aggressive because he was insanely bored. Deuce spent about 3 years as a stray. He had a route of houses he stopped in at and got food. But no one claimed ownership of him. The village he was running around decided that Deuce and two of his buddies needed to be shot as they were getting into garbage cans. A very nice young man tied them up in his yard and kept them until there was room in the shelter. So Deuce went from total freedom to a chain to 6X4 box. He'd never been inside before, never had any training, never known a rule in his life. He is extremely high energy, always on the go. He was bored out of his mind. He's never shown any aggression here where he has room to stretch his legs, even when he was hurt and in pain.

For commercial treats, they like Canine Carry-Outs, pigs ears and liver flavored biscuits.

Their favorite treat though can't be bought in a store. They love moose bones! Love them! Fortunately, we have a good friend who is a wild game butcher. He keeps the huskies well stocked with bones. He actually supplies with a lot of their food. They eat meat scraps several times a week.

Wow they're fabulous doggies!!!

The first picture is rockin' ... I don't know why but his personality just jumps out and hits you in the face and I love it :D
