Avalanche...What a Guy!

Being handicapped as a dog I can definitely see some advantages. Avalanche our almost 5 year old Siberian Husky who is handicapped has become so in-tune with me that it is almost scary. A few days ago while on a walk, Avalanche comes to a stop and starts his talking routine. Rarararararara! Well, what's up guy? He repeats himself this time pointing his nose up in the air and looking up. Well, I look up and there on the street light is a beautiful hawk! Avalanche knows that I love to watch the hawks, so he was letting me know that there was one to watch. He spoke a couple of more times and I praised him and then the hawk got annoyed and took off, so back to our walk. It's strange how he knew there was a hawk up there. He never stops to talk to the crows, or doves or other birds. Dogs can truly be amazing creatures. I just adore this handicapped Siberian Husky...he is such a guy!

What A Guy...Avalanche

Avalanche, our almost 5 year old handicapped Siberian Husky is such a sensitive awesome guy. Last week I had a bad head cold and felt horrible. Rain or shine, in sickness or in health...my dogs go out for their morning walks. Well, I felt bad, but they sick need their morning ritual. Avalanche who often leads the pack (two dobermans, Diva and Deon), what totally awesome; he headed us out in the direction of a simple easy walk that was also very short. For two days, he was the most cooperative, easy going guy. He set the standard for the other two who followed. We had easy short walks, hardly any potty accidents, he cooperated with meals, etc. Come day number 3 when I started to feel better, he was instantly back to his old self. Dogs can be truly amazing creatures that can be so in tune with us, their humans; while maintaining their own doggy lives. I just love that dog, Avalanche you are AWESOME!
