Muskwa means Bear in Cree. He was named by a Cree medicine man who has sinced passed on, but was good friends with my husband. Jonas said that Muskwa had a bear spirit. Until he was 3 months old he had no name. He still answers pretty well to "HEY YOU NO"

The dogs take turns coming in at night. Muskwa hates our other dominant male, Bandit and they can't be anywhere near each other. So they come in on alternate nights. Sleet & Preacher are inside every night and the rest are welcome to come in if they want to. Hoodoo tends to get very hot so he likes to sleep in the mud room. Kayleigh likes to eat cats, so we have to be very careful with her. It gets a little complicated with this many, but we are definately never cold!
