pups and pens

Hi Folks, the big news is that Lucy finally popped.. she had her pups! 5 Healthy little bundles of fun. 3 boys and 2 girls. Lucy is super whooped after that and enjoying some rest in the house.
The other dogs are enjoying their new pen. we got the first of two free run pens finished and the dogs have all had their chance to run and pee on all the trees. They are super excited to have this space. Our plan is to rotate dogs through in groups so they can all play and burn some summer time steam. We are working on another large pen and the doggie wheel.. stay tuned for doggie wheel video footage.
Ursa got some r and r after her spay surgery. Thanks Natalie for the sweet bed. this dog is actually huge... the dog bed is even huger..:)

Dog Days of Summer


Things are pretty chill around here as far the dogs go. The days are getting very long and pretty warm. That means that the dogs lay around all day in the sun and get crazy all night when it is cooler. Above Lead Dog Windsor enjoys a rub down in the house... Below, Solo likes the cold tile.




Stout enjoys talking on the phone... We have some big projects for the dog right now. The Squid Acres Dog Park is in construction. We are working on making some large pens so they can run around more and get more exercise and play with each other. We also are working on making a large dog wheel, so they can get in and blow off some steam if they like.. kinda like a doggy gym. These large hamster wheels are used by a lot of top mushers to allow dogs to run at their own pace in the off season. We'll post videos of it when it is up and running.
