Love Fest!

Here is Ripper, "courting" a frisky Pooh Bear!


This game goes on and on and then I have to tie them up to keep them away from each other.

I think Pooh Bear! enjoys the foreplay part most.


What a tease!!


Cowdogs: as seen in their natural element - waiting for the ball to be thrown.


"Hi everybody, it's me! Pooh Bear!!!"
(I swear she actually thinks this, as if everyone should be thrilled by her presence!)


Esther comes in for a closeup. She's now in heat (great) as Pooh Bear! is finally ending hers, but Esther is having NONE of anyone sniffing her butt!






Here's a wee video of my skijor with Gracie, Lucy and George (in that order, l-r). George starts to act a bit freaked out as we start to go downhill (and as I yell at the others to get outta the way!), which is odd, because normally she is daredevil dog. But in harness, well, let's just say she'd rather run free. There is also a moment where my new ski poles (which I LOVE) are sticking out a bit too far as I'm videoing, and they briefly get caught up in tree branches. Whupps!


And after a hard 15 minutes of skijoring, Princess Gracie is wiped. So she uses Harris' head as a pillow for her leg. After the triple-monkey skijor, I took Harris and Jack skijoring while the others roamed around, so they were all pretty tired. Gotta love sleepy, tired dogs!! :)

Pooh Bear has grown up to look just like Tala! (And Rupert!) Great photos. I love Gracie's pillow.

LOL I love that last photo!!! Made me chuckle out load.

Great video! Nice recovery on the near-wipeout, too.

I'm feeling quite inspired as I admire your log cabin. If you wouldn't mind, might it be possible to outline the basic construction facts. What dimensions of timber did you employ? How was the foundation constructed, slab concrete or with pillars? Is the insulation from the timbers sufficient, or do you wish you'd used formal insulation? Please feel free to contact me @ roryhand (at) creighton (dot edu) if you're interested in sharing!

I couldn't an "email to blog owner" link otherwise I wouldn't have posted in the comments!

Have a nice day.

Yeah, those white dogs do look alike eh Laura?!?

Jen - yes, the WORLD is pretty much Gracie's pillow. Last night she had her head on Harris' butt as they both lie sprawled out on the couch.

Evan, thanks! I should show you the real wipeout!!! haha

Rory - I sent you an email!

Hi Pooh Bear! and Esther :) And all the Yukon Yahoos!

That vid is awesome...good steady little monkeys!!!

What a kick ass trail you have there-how long is it?

Sue - that trail is about a 4-mile trail that goes down to the river. But the monkeys only took me about 1km!!
