Introducing Cinder
[]
The guy who owns Image's mother, Fleo, is getting out of Siberians and into Alaskans and is selling off a good portion of his kennel. Opportunities to buy a young adult with a lot of sled time from lines you like don't come along all that often, so on Monday I drove up to Quebec to see a man about a dog. I had the *best* time. I got to meet Fleo, who's well-known for throwing large, consistent litters, some other dogs I know by reputation, and a bunch of Image's half-siblings. So that I could see the dogs move we took four at a time out on the trail, off-lead, to run with an ATV. That was about as much fun as I've had since winter, anyway, and the dogs were great. I ended up bringing home TWD's Cinder, a 3-year-old who's Image's half-sister. She's fast and muscular and has a terrific personality (the notorious Siberian Lap Husky). She's never been in a house before so things like the staircase were a challenge, but when I picked up the rest of the pack this morning she followed them up and down the stairs and got it figured out. She wasn't sure what to make of the cats but Moby George got her off on the right foot. I think dogs take one look at George and think "I'll eat nearly anything but that really is just too gross." Things are starting off well with the other dogs, too, but I find it takes a couple of weeks before a new dog settles in and issues start to surface. The funniest thing is that she's drawn to the full-length mirror in my bedroom. She keeps running over to look in it, and this morning when I let her out of her crate she made a beeline for the mirror.
