• Well…What a difference a week makes weather-wise!  From an intolerable cold to sweatshirt weather.  It gave me a opportunity to observe the dogs a little on Sunday while they were out playing.  Daisie had to come out early, and go back in before I let the others out because it finally looks like she is starting her long awaited heat cycle.  So we should soon be able to approximate the date her litter soon!

• She wasn’t happy with having to come back in when the others were out, but it w...

“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.

• 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...

The coldest weekend of the year doesn’t do much for us humans in terms of getting things done outdoors, but it does provide for some additional “Huskyisms”!  As I watch from a wind-shielded area, it never ceases to amaze me how much they love the cold.

• Wind chill?  What’s that??  Kallen is facing the wind trying to catch it in his mouth.

• The plastic pool is still out, with a couple inches of water and now frozen on top.  Ice is no fun…Let’s break the ice so we can play in the...

• The past few days have been very nice weather-wise, and as usual the dogs enjoyed it.  For the past several days however, they have been a little irritable.  So we have to put them out in stages. 

• When they are behaving this way, Daisie, Aleu, Miya, and Rose must go out at separate times.  Same with Kallen and Demon.  The problem is they behave like teenagers that don’t get their way!  You can hear the “It’s not fair!”, and “Why do they get to?” and “My life is over!” comi...

 Monday edition of the Sunday Funnies…(again!)

Seems like the computer issues at home just don’t want to go away.  We may be heading for a new one.  Good in some ways, not good in others.   I will have to temporarily suspend weekend posting. It seems only during the week, when I can go into work a little early and use my computer there, can I get a post done.  Oh well…

It’s the first full day of Autumn, as it began Sunday at 4:44pm.  (Can you get it a little more precise?  Like do...

May I please have some?  I've been a good girl!

Holly and Brutus playing.  Holly misses him too!

My apologies for not having a "Saturday Stories" edition this week. Computer issues prevented our normally scheduled post.  Blogging can be exceptionally difficult when you don't have a reliable computer!  Oh well...Viruses are a part of everyday computer life and we must deal and move on.

Today for the Sunday funnies, I have a series of snippets.  Observing their zany antics can be difficult when there is a lot to be accomplished.  That was the case during this entire week as we worked while ...

It's time again for the Sunday Funnies as we are getting ready for the upcoming fair.  The dogs were out as usual, and were being their normal goofy selves. 

• All the dogs are out except Miya, who is pregnant and has an attitude.  Which is typical.  She was out with me on a leash and we were walking around the fenced area.  Lots of growling but Miya was safe outside the fence.  Or should I say the others were safe inside.  If I let her in, there would surely be a fight.  More on that subject i...

Or at least a trial size after a very busy weekend.  Jenna's soccer team had one last Summer soccer tournament this weekend.  So most of the weekend (for Jenna and me anyway) was spent on the road.  So after no Saturday post, I will try to get in an abbreviated Sunday post!  (Ok...enough excuses!)

• One thing that was accomplished this weekend was taking down Zach's fort in the dog's play area.  Holly has been using it as her perch to peek into the back window since it went up a couple months ag...

Another very hot day, even though they kept promising lower temps and humidity.  Dogs were out as usual, but the activity is a little lower during the heat and humidity.  In addition to a few little items I picked up on between chores, I will add something this week I will call Sunday Snippets as part of the Sunday Funnies.  The Snippets will basically be pictures with captions or descriptions.  We have hundreds of pictures of our Huskies on file, and many times they depict the humorous side ...

It’s time for more Sunday Funnies and observations after doing the Sunday Morning chores.  Our Sunday Mornings are not typical of most.  After early church, or church on Saturday night, we are up and at ‘em to get busy on chores.  This time of year especially.  It is much cooler at 8am than during the later parts of the day.   The dogs are out during chores.  It’s easy to keep an eye on them while we work. 

• The first thing we typically do when they come out is the removal of the fur...

We here at Frosty Meadow Farms remember all of those who have served or are serving our country, and especially those who have fallen or have been injured protecting our freedoms.  As we celebrate with the typical cookouts and parties, we also take time to let the dogs have their fun.  It was a beautiful weekend here at the farm, and everyone enjoyed the outdoors. 

Here is a picture of the bloom of the poplar trees.  We have several here at the farm, and they are great to look at in the s...

Sunday Funnies (or today, maybe we should call it “The week in review”)

·         It was a chilly but very nice weekend here at the farm.  The dogs certainly had their chances to play, but a very busy weekend kept the normal observations to a minimum.  Most of my time while they were out was spent doing farm chores.

·         There are still two puppies remaining from Aleu’s litter as of today.  Both White males.  All of Holly’s are sold, with the exception of Chance.  Ch...

Today, I thought I’d throw in a few pictures with the thoughts and observations:

·         Last summer, I blogged here about “The Best Day Ever” in the world of a husky.  It was about our annual hog roast we hold for our extended families.  It is a feast for us, but for the dogs, it’s a dream come true.

·         I will officially proclaim today as the “Second Best Day Ever”.  Today is the day we pulled out and opened up the swimming pool!!!!

·         I can remembe...

·         For the third weekend in a row, it’s been difficult to get though the normal blog routine.  The “Saturday Stories” was once again pre-empted by an unforeseen circumstance.  Saturday itself was quite eventful, including the addition of our newest horse “Buffalo Hunter”, or “Hunter” as we call him.  This was a big event, but it was overshadowed by the Appendicitis flare-up that overcame Jenna, my daughter.  I am certainly happy to report that she is doing well...

In lieu of being out of town last weekend and this weekend being Easter, I took the opportunity to jot down my notes and observations while watching the dogs as they play.  They run and play on a regular basis, but only on occasion do I get the opportunity to observe and take notes.  Today, Zach and I were out practicing golf shots while they played. 

·         Aleu and Holly are limited in their time out, mostly because they don’t want to go out.  Typical for new mothers.  It u...

A happy St. Patrick’s Day to everyone!   Time for another rendition of the Sunday funnies.   (Well, I see the funny, if no one else does)  J

·         Holly is officially as big as a house!  If she has fewer than 8 puppies, I will be surprised.  I am surprised, however, that she has not yet given birth.

·         Meanwhile, over in the direction of Aleu, the jury is still out.  She seems to now be getting bigger.  She has always been difficult to figure out.  She has ...

Sunday Tidbits and observations!

·         It’s great to see a nice snowfall.  No doubt the dogs love that.  With every snowfall however, comes the eventual melt off.  Today was 60 degrees, and while the warmth is wonderful, the tradeoff is MUD!

·         It is an absolute mess out here, and the dogs really don’t mind a bit.  Sometimes I think they like it better than snow.

·         Oh, and joyous news!  What better to follow up a slopfest with the prediction...

·         Rose’s pups are getting chubby.  They are getting around well.  They like the warmth of the box with the heat lamp, but they also love to run around and play everywhere else too.  They will be 4 weeks on Wednesday, so in another week or so they will be weaned.   

·         Rose broke the heat lamp, and shorted out the entire barn.  Finding my way through the dark and solving the problem proved to be a fun task. L 

·         Aleu is really starting to toy w...

More random thoughts and observations as Heather and I take care of chores while the dogs are out playing and Aria is in her pasture:

1)      If I wasn’t certain Nadia was Daisie’s puppy, I would be convinced she was Holly’s!  The two are very similar.  The snack today while they played was carrots.  Yes they love carrots!  If there is food present of any kind, Holly and Nadia are always first in line.  They both have “the stare”.  They all love the snacks, bu...
