Continued... After her came the Alaskan Malamute, Laser Wolf, and the Siberian Husky, Precious. They ended up hanging around for some time. Laser Wolf was a male and he was my dad's dog. He was big, hairy and at moments scary! Precious was a female and she was my dog. She was a bit more petite but was full of energy. Maybe too much energy! After all she was bred as a working dog, a sled dog and having pent up energy didn't help any. For a time they lived together at my mother's home and we did our best to care for them and keep them healthy and happy. As any dog owner knows this is not simple task for such active and driven dogs.
It would soon be time for me to head out to college and who would care for the dogs? I couldn't take them with me therefore someone was going to have to pick up the slack. By default mom was awarded the task but I'm not sure how enthused she was about it. Yikes, sorry mom! She took up the cause and was stuck with the all important doggie duties. I must admit that it was quite a big task for such a little woman. She managed well for a season but soon thereafter it all became a bit too much. The question then became, "What do we do with the dogs?" They needed a home and preferably a home with lots of running room. Maybe we could find them a home? The hunt was on and soon enough my father encountered just the home and just family. One day on his rural mail route he found the perfect and home and perfect family. This is where the story came full circle. To be continued...
So Long for Now,
