the end of the season

it's almost the end of the sleddog season. Spring officially started yesterday. But it's still pretty cold, and windy. And they forecasted a siberian weekend. With windchill up to -10 to -15 degrees celcius.
We don't run that much with the dogs anymore, because when March began, it was up to +15 degrees and sunny.
We do runs only in the weekend, and every now and then on a weekly day in the evening, before sunset. Because the wild boar all have babies. I don't really feel safe going in after sunset.

3 weeks ago I had a call from an aquaintace who only recently adopted another half brother of Skippa. She already had one, and she has the father of Skippa's half brothers. The brother doesn't get accepted by his father. So he keeps getting attacked. So i picked him up. it was his 4th or 5th move.
He never had any rules, or disciplined, the only 2 things he knew was sit and shake.

So i took him in, and said I'll raise him, teach him all the basic stuff and find him a new home.
So he went off to his new home on friday, but returned on Wednesday because he kept being attacked over there by the alpha.
He is now an 8 month old "teenager".
Skippa is a bit jealous of him. While he accepts every other dog, but struggles when i give attention to Boris (his brother) or when I give Skippa attention and Boris comes near.
Boris is now to stay for us for a while until he is raised, disciplined, and a secure calm dog. He has hard times trusting people and other dogs.

A little over a year ago we decided we wanted another puppy again, we wanted to make a 3 dogged packed. Since we only had Skippa and Sky. So we put ourself on a list with the Kolyma's Siberians breeders. Only a few months after our neighbours came and asked if we could adopt Koda, which made him Skoda. We then decided to stay on the list with the breeders. And the day I had to pick up Boris the puppies were born. Eight healthy pups, 2 male 6 female. And one of them is ours!

Her name is Kolyma's Siberians Magic-Touch. And her regular name will be Skaraa. She is born on February 28th. And we can pick her up at the end of april.

Since we then will have 5 dogs *until boris leaves us* i decided it is a good time to look for new homes. Bigger homes, not really bigger, but with a larger back yard.

Then our final news. My old dog scooter finaly gave up. So we purchased a new one. And its way better!
