Administrator Bellevue, WA Posts: 2737	Just started this post to show off the latest addition to the Troutnut family. We just couldn't call ourselves Alaskans without one of these: And a video: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=PAINsaQ7D30 We took her home last Friday at age 6 weeks, so she's coming up on 7 now and well on her way to being house-trained, crate-trained, and quiet enough that we can sleep through the night. She's a mix of McKenzie River Husky and Greenland Husky, and possibly 1/8th Lab. Both her parents are just 2 years old but are already very calm, sweet dogs. We got a good one!

Administrator Bellevue, WA Posts: 2737	It is definitely not the beginning of a sled team! I seem to recall hearing that from one of my labmates two years ago when we both moved up. Now she has ten dogs. So you'd be right to be skeptical. However, I've seen how much work it is for her (it's an all-consuming hobby, even more than fly fishing) and I've got enough musher friends that I can get my fill of it without all the work. (It is fun!) Taiga may get to run with one of their teams a few times this winter.
