PUPPY TRAINING
20 pups done 7 more to go
|
|
20 chiots atteles 7 encore a faire
|
I am back on puppy training and they are all doing good.
I did so far 20 out of the 27 pups.
Some of the pups are getting to be a "pain in the butt" they now realize what they are going to do and love running and pulling and are completely CRAZY to put the harness on.... Wake and Skid were the worst today... Zoser already enjoy chewing neckline....
In couple of days I'll start on the Jewel pups.
|
|
J'ai repris l'entrainement des chiots.
J'ai débouré 20 chiots sur les 27 que nous avons.
Certains des chiots commencent a etre "durs" a attelés, ils ont compris ce qu'ils doivent faire et adorent courrir et donc ils sont de plus en plus dure a mettre dans le harnais. Les deux plus horribles aujourd'hui on été Wake et Skid et Zoser a deja bien compris comment manger les necklines...
Dans deux ou trois jours je vais debourées les chiots de Jewel...

Jacques also told me that Mushers have broken leg, broken hankle, broken arms...

trail from hell
VERY BAD TRAIL
|
|
PISTE TRES MAUVAISE
|
Just to let you know that I talked to Jacques last night and he may consider not going futher on the trail, he is in Rainy Pass and he describe the trail as DANGEROUS he lost the team last night but find them again all healthy.
He describe a terrible trail, no snow, hard, stumps sticking out and the same tree he encounter couple year ago and cause him injuries to his hand made him lost the team.
I talk to Mel and Doug got hurt apparently in the same spot and according to Doug "probably the same god damm tree" !!!
Dee Dee just scratch in Rainy Pass due to Injuries !!!!
I learn more today !!!

Juste un mot pour vous dire que Jacques risuqe de ne pas continuer plus loin sur la piste. Il m'a telephoner hier et il a dit que la piste était tres tres mauvaise et qu'il avait perdu son attelage (mais les avait retrouver tous OK). Il m'a dit que la piste est tres dangereuse a cause du manque de neige.
Le meme arbre qui lui a blessé la main il y a deux ans lui a fait perdre son attelage cet année.
J'ai eu Melanie hier et apparament selon Doug c'est a cet endroit que Doug a eu son accident.
Dee Dee Jonrowe vient juste d'abandonner a Rainy Pass car elle c'est cassé un doigt et fait mal a la main...
Des que j'ai des nouvelles je vous le dit.

STEVE VISITING FROM ENGLAND
VISITOR FROM ENGLAND
|
|
VISITE D'ANGLETERRE
|
Steve arrived few days ago for 4 weeks to visit us. He live in the UK near London and has one dog of us STING and he got couple more that are still here waiting for the Quarantine to be over to fly in UK. He has Siberian huskies and he want to have "real race dogs" !! so he came over to learn since he is almost the only one with Alaskan over there !!!!
Steve got a "wake up" with our 30 below temperature !! He is very nice and helpful.
I took him on sled and he drove his on 4 dogs team few days ago but I don't really have time right now with Iditarod coming so fast to teach time more... I promise when we come back from Anchorage I spend way more time teaching things.
He is so nice, clean the dish, scoop poop, walk puppies.... I guess he realize how busy we are...
I feel bad for him but I'll make it up to him in a week !!!!
OK I have to go back to my IDITAROD ACTIVITIES |
|
Seve est arrive il y'a quelques jours d'Angleterre, la température de -35°c l'a tout de suite mis dans le "bain" !!!
Steve a un de nos chien STING et il en a deux autre ici qui attendent la fin de la quarantaine pour prendre l'avion. Steve a des Siberien Huskies mais veux avoir des "vrais chiens de course" maintenant. Il est venu ici pour voir l'Alaska et apprendre car personne vers chez lui n'a d'Alaskans.
Il est super sympa et aide beaucoup, il nettoie le chenil, ammene sles chiots en promenade et fait meme la vaisselle.
Il a compris qu'on était super "OCCUPE", je lui a fait faire du traineau (premire fois pour lui) il y a quelques jours mais depuis pas le temp trop de trucs a faire avant le départ pour Anchorage... Donc je lui ai promis apres notre retour d'Anchorage j'aurais plus de tempa lui apprendre des trucs et lui faire faire du traineau.
Voila je retourne a mes activitée IDITAROD |
Steve learning to make line with MAO and Keops help of course

ALASKAN HUSKIES
I just read this article by Joe Runyan on the Cabelas Web site about the ALASKAN HUSKIES...
Great article it is so hard to tell people what is an ALASKAN HUSKY...
I always answer it is not a breed but a type of working dogs... They are only bred and selected for working/sport purpose and it should remain like this to have OUTSTANDING ATHLETES
This article is very good read it !
