After 18 hours of stage 2 labor and a trip to the e-vet for oxytocin and monitoring, Loaf had 8 beautiful puppies yesterday. She is doing an excellent job as a first time mom and all babies have gained weight on their day-old weigh in.
I've been keeping a little secret from you all 🤭 Puppy count xray is tomorrow!
It is maybe a little bit overgrown in the back of the dog yard
HAPPY SOLSTICE!!!! From now on, days get shorter, and you know what I'm thinking about
Cheesecake is almost as bad about body slams as Watkins 🤪
I know I am terrible at taking photos, so please enjoy this rare episode of "Melissa takes her phone outside"
Finally got around to scrapbooking the odds and ends from this past mushing season 🥰
Introducing my newest team and family member, Pommac! I've adored this dog for years, so I am over the moon that my friend Liza Dietzen Weaver of Choixlibre Kennel entrusted me with him. He's been here a couple weeks and has settled in nicely. He is just what I like, a big dopey happy boy.
Our very last run of the season, aka "how many ways can I eat shit leaving this dog yard," installment 48
Video of Cheesecake's first run a few weeks ago! Harness breaking and running puppies is one of my FAVORITE parts of this sport.
The @kobuk440.bsky.social trackers are beep booping! trackleaders.com/kobuk26f.php Kevin Hansen was parked next to us at the iditarod restart. He had some HANDSOME dogs.
