“And the rain, rain, rain; came down, down, down; in rushing little riv’lets; ‘Til the river crept out of its bed, and crept right into Piglets.”

• Here it is, the weekend before Christmas, and instead of Charlie Brown, Rudolf, and the rest of the holiday cartoons, I have “Winnie the Pooh and the Blustery Day” on my mind.  It’s been a loooonnnngggg time since I’ve seen flooding like this.  Many a rushing streams were flowing through our property, on the way to the river.

On today's edition of Thursday Throwback, we look at our 5th litter.  This litter was born 8-10-11 to Miya and Denali. It was a large litter, containing 8 puppies.  One of the puppies want a tiny runt which we tried our best to save, but in the end it simply would not take any milk from either us or Miya.  It died after holding on for a few days.  The seven surviving puppies included:  Jasper, Koda, Mika, Bella, Que, Keika, and Akila. 


Only a couple days old.


At the start of the weaning proces...

• After a couple weeks of snow and cold, we are now set for a rainy melt off.  It happens a couple times a year.  One big rain and a couple days of warmer temps, coupled with a melting snow pack, leads to flooding.  Here at the farm, The corner stall, as well as the horse stalls, are in the line of fire.  They tend to get wet and eventually puddle up.  It's Equine Fresh to the rescue.  Equine Fresh is a brand of horse bedding, ostensibly made to absorb moisture from horse stalls.  It is simply ...

Today, for Thursday Throwback, we look back to our 4th litter.  Sophie the mother, and Demon the father.  It was a very small litter, with 4 in all and 2 of them unfortunately died at birth.  Only 2 puppies survived; Eyezayah and Avalanche.  It was Sophie's only litter, and we've since found her a new home.  It was only one of two litters for Demon.

• Daisie is starting to behave like her cycle will be soon.  More moody, more talkative, and bouncing off the walls, etc.  Meanwhile, the boys are starting to show interest.

• Speaking of which, Denali has a nice little gash on the top of his foot.  A result of him and Demon fighting through the stall wall.  So it’s nurse Heather to the rescue.  It’s healing nicely now, and we moved Denali and Daisie to the corner.  

• Due to the extra cold nights, I am having to pay closer attention to...

• We didn't get as much snow as we hoped, but they all still had fun!  It's like turning kids loose in a toy store.  They are a lot more fun to observe on snowy days.
• Of course Zach and I had our fun in the snow with them as well.  We had the sled out, and while the dogs didn't pull it, they had fun with it.  Mostly chasing us around.
• Zach would get a running start and jump onto the sled, and whenever he did the dogs tried to prevent it.  Especially Miya.  One time was quite comical, when Miya li...

Meet the Siberian Huskies, Part 12…Nadia

Next in line for our Friday Focus is Nadia.  Nadia's story was special, and almost worthy of a "Saturday Stories" post.  Since she is now over a year old, her story is sometimes forgotten.  She is the daughter of Daisie and Denali, born 11-22-12.  The litter was very large, with 10 puppies in all.  When litters are that big, it's not uncommon to have small puppies, or even runts.  In most cases unfortunately, a runt won't survive.  We have had r...

Today we look back at our third litter, born 6-7-11, Holly the mother, Denali the father.  This litter had an odd circumstance, as we were preparing to move to our present location at the time.  The garage became a makeshift nursery so they could have their peace and quiet while we moved.  This litter includes:  Aurora, Pablo, King, Diesel, Storm, and four others.

Took a little break from blogging over the past week or so with the holiday.  I hope everyone had a great Thanksgiving! 

•  I will say this…I think the dogs love the holidays more than we do!  At least the food part. 

• It’s time to get ready for Christmas.  All the decorations are up, and we are putting the finishing touches on the Frosty Meadow Christmas cards.  Thanks to everyone who contributed holiday Husky photos!  They were great!

• Sounds like there is some winter weather headed ...
