Wow, thanks everyone for the information and pics.
Really great stuff there.
Had a quick look at the link and will dig deeper once I get home from work.
Koda has settled into our family pack very well and stolen our heats in the process. We had a wonderful and busy weekend betweeen the dogs and the tank.
It was simply histerical this weekend. We have had nice extended fall and although we have had flurries here and there, this weekend was the first real snowfall that stayed on the ground. Koda came to us from a rescue in Texas ( can you imaging how miserable he would have been in Texas in august with a coat like that) Anyway, we have a sled dog that had never seen snow, didn't know how to walk in it, he kept slipping and falling on his butt. Pawing at the stuff falling from the sky and eventually just sat there looking at the sky with a confused look on his face.
I took the shovel and gathered some into a small pile and he vas very curious....smelling...tasting... then he just dove in and started rolling around. We laughed ourselves silly watching him experience it all.
We walk him 2 x day for about 3-4 miles each and it burns off his energy and keeps him very mellow. I found a back-pack for him and he really liikes wearing it. Currently we only have a can of soup in each side but will increase the weight gradually over time.
All of our dogs get people food.....but only raw veggies and fruit and they love it. Other than that we feed Blue buffalo kibble only.
thanks again, looking forward to seeing the puppy pics in Dec.
