Some pics of the Canine Crew...

No theme really, just some pics I snapped today and some quick updates on a couple dogs.

Chum thinks the cats hog the woodstove!

The second team I ran today. This marked Paxil and Earle's return to the harness. Still using the quad as there isn't enough snow. I actually drove across the lake today. Never thought I'd still be on the quad by the time the ice was safe!

Paxil was very pleased with herself. She did very well too! Lead dogs don't come any more reliable than Paxil! Her wounds from the tumor removal have healed up nicely. She got a wierd abcess under one front leg from a completely unrelated puncture wound. It has also healed almost completely. She was back to her old self today!

couple more in the next post....

Since he started his thyroid meds, Earle has lost a couple pounds so I think it's safe to take him on short runs again. This team only went 7km. Earle didn't really work much, but he kept up and he had fun. Considering that a mere six weeks ago I was pretty sure he was dying, I don't care how much work he does!

Is there anything sweeter than a sleeping Pacer?

Pretty boy Chum!

That's all for now.

They are all so wonderful. Thank you for sharing.

What sweet dogs. Paxil looks so happy! I'm glad she's doing well. Pacer looks very content. I'm glad Earle had a good time and is doing much better. It sure looks cold there. Don't know if I could handle that much snow but it sure is beautiful.

What beautiful pictures.

It's funny when I first saw the sledding picture I thought, oh good they got more snow up there. I love the picture of Paxil, she sure does look happy, and it put a huge smile on my face.

And no, I don't think there is anything sweeter than a sleeping Pacer, he is adorable. Chum I think you are a very good boy to share the woodstove with the kitties.
It's really been six weeks since Earle's bloodtests? It doesn't seem that long. But the good news is that he is on the proper medication and is getting better. Good for you, Earle and good for you Glacier.

Love your crew.

Oh my gosh, those are great pictures...I just adore that picture of Chum, though, he's such a uniquely colored dog...

**cyber-sibes** · 01-03-2006, 12:01 AM

Paxil looks sooo happy! And good updates - sounds like they're all on the mend. Chum's airplane ears are cute!

**chocolatepuppy** · 01-03-2006, 04:58 AM

Nice pictures. I keep hoping you get more snow so we can see more beautiful pictures from up there!

**RobiLee** · 01-03-2006, 05:31 AM

I'm glad that everyone is doing well. Its always great hearing about your crew. I was just talking to my dad about you and your gang last night. My parents lurk around PT once in awhile and I was telling him he had to make sure he checked out any threads from you

. He had watched some of the movie "Snow Dogs" and I told him if he wanted to see some real snow dogs then he had to see yours.

Thanks for the new pictures. They all look happy and content. Love the pic of Chum and the cats snoozing. Chum has gorgeous eyes! I can't believe you don't have enough snow to get out the sled. I'll send out a little wish that you get all the snow you want. Please tell the gang I said hello and give them all an extra pat on the head from me.

I'm always so excited to see a post from you and see what everyone is up to

Wow, still not enough snow? That's just unbelievable. I hope soon you'll get all the snow you've been wanting!

Sure looks like Paxil was pretty happy with herself! I'm glad to hear she's all healed up now and able to get out and run with the rest of the dogs.

It's really nice seeing Earl out there too. I'm glad he's feeling better

Thanks for the great pictures and updates!
