I haven't a chance to read the whole blog but I loved the part about spaying and neutering! My Sunny is a rescue from Alabama. Her mom was pulled from a high kill shelter and the puppies were all adopted out in the North. Her mom even made it out of the South alive and is currently living a wonderful life in Mass. Sunny and her mom got to have a reunion this past Summer. I also was the proud mom of a husky who I considered to be the most beautiful husky in the world(see pic below...his name was Stryker...he died at 15) so I will enjoy reading about your Sequioa!
