Nope, he really can't. Preacher is at least 11 years old now; he's blind, hypothyroid and getting very stiff. He was never very fast, but there's no way he could keep up now. He likes to bark at the team as they leave the yard though. He still gets around well, but he's retired from sledding.


Ah yes, I thought such things might be the case, but I was aiming to cheer the handsom boy up. If only dogs could talk, I'm sure he and Blackfoot would get along like wto peas in a pod.

Someone might sneak in and get her treats and that would be the end of Sleet's world!
Hehe. My Husky/Malamute is the same way with her food. Come to think of it..so is Blackfoot. They both watch their dishes and snacks as if they would suddenly jump up and run away.


He can't run because he got kicked by a horse last week.
Aww, poor baby. I assure you that he's not alone on that one. Both Blackfoot and J.W. have been under the hoof more than once. I hope he gets better soon.
