Take two, they're small
[]
So yesterday I drove up to Quebec to pick up Crow, Cinder's littermate and my new leader. Today I drove home with Crow and Eclipse, the latter of whom is half-sister to Image, Cinder, and Crow (same dam) and now my racing team is set for next winter. They're athletic, affectionate dogs with active senses of humor and far too much interest in the cats (!!), but so far we're having a blast. The rest of the crew comes home from the kennel tomorrow morning and we'll make introductions then. In the photo at http://www.shellmer.com/craftsbury/05-0122_3682.html, which was taken in the 30 mile Craftsbury True Companion race, Crow is running lead on the musher's left (viewer's right) and Eclipse is in wheel on the same side. -- Melinda Shore - Software longa, hardware brevis - For two decades your payroll taxes have been used to offset the cost of upper-income tax cuts. |

Please add to cart 1 (one) 5x7 gloss archive print. Thank you for your attention to this matter. (Crow is very pretty, and I admire her levitating skills.) -- --Matt. Rocky's a Dog. |

sighthounds & siberians wrote: Both look pretty Sibey, at least in terms of head and facial markings. I'd say so. They both look a lot like Cinder, not so much like Image. But like both Cinder and Image they're a lot weedier than your typical show/pet Siberian, thinner coats, etc. And except for being crated last night they haven't sat still for more than a second or two since arriving here. Eclipse immediately discovered the various chew toys around the house - she obviously thought "score!" and is now building a stash in the kitchen. Both learned to sit very, very quickly, but learning that the kitchen counter is not an appropriate perch is taking a little longer. Closer pictures, please. Also, a photo of your now complete team, please. I tried to get pictures of the team last winter but it turned out not to be that easy to get a friend to hike a mile down a snowy trail in cold weather to stand there and wait for us to zip by. There are always plenty of photographers at races, and I'm expecting that we'll be able to get some pictures taken this winter. -- Melinda Shore - Software longa, hardware brevis - For two decades your payroll taxes have been used to offset the cost of upper-income tax cuts. |

Crow is 4 and Eclipse is 2.5, and yup, not only have they never lived inside before but they've also never even been inside a house before. One thing that surprised me is that they took to the stairs immediately, although Crow's descent is somewhat more, um, disorganized than her ascent. How about a picture of everybody in harness, stationary, during training or even in summer? Failing that, I'd settle for a picture of Crow/Eclipse on your kitchen counter. I'm definitely going to be taking around-the-yard pictures, and even though it's starting to get too hot for pulling I think I'm going to start occasionally hitching them to a tree and working on manners. I don't have any illusions about placing well in races but I would like to have an extremely well-behaved team. -- Melinda Shore - Software longa, hardware brevis - For two decades your payroll taxes have been used to offset the cost of upper-income tax cuts. |

In article e.net,
shelly wrote: so how's it going so far? It's going well. Eclipse was nervous about the other dogs at first and was hiding behind me, but she's relaxed and she and Crow are now parading around like "We own this town." Cinder and Crow are littermates and Cinder's been following Crow around with her nose glued to Crow's butt. Both went for their first walks ever yesterday and did pretty well. Meals have been a bit mayhemful as I've had to reorganize who eats where but it's improving quickly. In the past I've found that if there are going to be issues it takes at least a week for them to surface, but Siberians really tend to enjoy pack life and I think it's going to continue to go well (this is now a 4-bitch household [5 if you include me]). It's pretty great seeing the sisters together. Gee, think they're related? -- Melinda Shore - Software longa, hardware brevis - Amount George W Bush has borrowed from the "worthless" Social Security Trust Fund to pay for other things: $639 billion |
