    Chum's second anniversary...

    Today marks 2 years since Chum first showed up here.

    We were supposed to just be hiding him from an abusive owner. Short term, then he would go back to the shelter and get adopted. Except that the shelter thought he might be aggressive. Chum growls ALOT. Until you get to know him, it is easy to think he's being aggressive. Once you know him, you discover that he just has a vast vocbularly and likes to talk. Chum has a story for every occasion! We often have long chats while I am cooking. My hubby says I need to get some more human friends!


    Chum is the most people orientated of all my dogs. He adores people and has never, ever had enough attention!


    He's a long, lean running machine. He loves to stretch out and let his legs go!


    Last spring his sled dog brain started to work and this year he's been even better. A friend of mine who runs a highly competitive team told me once that some of her best dogs took a long time to get serious about working dogs. Chum is turning into one of those dogs. It's even snowing today so hopefully he will be out on the trails again soon!

    Happy Anniversary Chum. I'm so glad you stayed!

    Man, I love your stories! You seriously need to write a book. And, let me know when you do, I'll buy several copies. Lovely Chum, happy anniversary!

    My Lacey is like that, very vocal, she even growls when you pet her.

    I can't believe it's been that long! I just love that first pic. What a sweet dog. I would love to be able to have nightly chats with him. You've got a great dog heaven on earth there.

    I did the right thing by setting you free
    But the pain is very deep.
    If only I could turn back time, forever, you I'd keep.
    I miss you


    I hear you whimper in your sleep
    I gently pet you and say, no bad dreams
    It will be alright, to my dog as dark as night.

    Fur as dark as the night.
    Join me on this flight.
    Paws of love that follow me.
    In my heart you'll forever be.

    How I wish I could hold you near.
    Turn back time to make it so.
    Hug you close and never let go.

    Chum, we'll call you a cook's helper. That's what Mom calls us since we talk to her while she's cooking too. What a handsome young man you are sweetie! Happy Anniversary and we hope you'll celebrate many many more!

    Thanks Barry!

    Happy Anniversary Chum!!! There are no better conversations in the world than those had with a dog. I love it when Sasha tells me stories. And I really miss Sami's stories, especially the ones after I'd told her to get off the couch.
