Well it is still raining here... We have good drainage in the dog yard but after so many days your gonna get mud, Tsarko(Sharky) is cleaning up the pink dinner mix bucket in the photo, He is like a cat with his affection, aloof at times and other times he will rub against your legs and roll on the ground belly up and swat his paws at you ... Just like a cat.. We had him here 2 days and he was acting like he was born here. Watch this video I was amazed at how calm he is (2nd day here) .. He took to me right off when we first met as well. I was worried he was gonna be some sort of slacker in harness... Nope took to the harness like he was born with it on, and running with some of our Huskies He was kicking the pace up constantly, tight tug and leaning into it on the hills... He's young ( going on 2 years) a natural sleddog to be sure.
