The Siberian Sulk

Dakota here. Have you heard of the Siberian swirl, where huskies curl up in a ball when they sleep? Well, I have perfected my own variation, the "Siberian sulk". This is what I do when I'm in a grumpy mood and want everyone to leave me alone. Like now, because I want to go for my walk.

See, I'm even ignoring Georgia, who just doesn't understand me and my moods.

Rediscovered Toy

Mom unpacked more boxes today (she's been pretty lazy about doing this), and she found a frisbee that they bought for us ages ago but packed away and forgot about. She gave it to Dakota, and Dakota instantly made it clear that it was hers.

Of course, Georgia was too tempted and couldn't resist it.

She goes in to investigate, but Dakota stands her ground.

Dakota defends her new possession (note the paw).

And it's game on! They spent the next half hour chasing it and each other around the back yard.

Happy New Year everyone!

Guess what I found on todays walk?

Dak here, my feeders caught me protecting my new find from Georgia today, even though I was having a wee snooze.

Merry Christmas

Merry Christmas from Dakota, Georgia and Oscar.

Movie Night

It's Saturday night, which is movie night. We are very excited about tonight's viewing--Eight Below!

Woo hoo!

Georgia watching.

Then Dakota watching.

Mesmerised (traumatised?) by the exciting leopard seal scene.

Dakota's New Ball

That's right, folks, she has fallen asleep with it in her mouth.

Home Sweet Home

Hello everyone. The girls here. We haven't been blogging lately because we have been busy settling into our new house. We have been exhausted by all the running, sniffing and exploring we have been doing lately.

Georgia has been particularly active the last two days--she has been a naughty girl and escaped from the yard twice. She found that she could squeeze through the gaps in the temporary fence that mom and dad put up and go and visit "Phat Boy" the dog next door. Unfortunately, she has taken after her husky mom with her desire to escape and wander. When mom found her and called to her, she just turned and trotted off, determined to continue her adventure!

Mom and dad constructed a fancy new dog run for us while they're at work during the day. Here's what our old run looked like:

It was adequate, but a little too small for us to play and have fun in. Here's our new one:

Have a look inside:

It's quite a bit bigger than our old run and much more sheltered. Unfortunately, mom and dad found out that on a hot day, it's a bit too hot in there, so they are going to make some windows in the walls so that we can get a cross breeze.

We need a name for our new home. We have thought of some possibilities--"Halfskie Manor", "The Puppy Palace", "Chez D&G" and our friend Koda suggested "Kamp Kota" (after Dakota, not Koda!). Any ideas?
