Pets Need Nature Too

Boo and Roscoe are my outdoor companions. They are so fun, and funny. I can't imagine outdoor life without them. Roscoe is a full-blood Siberian Husky who weighs 65 lbs. Boo is an American short-hair of undetermined pedigree who weighs 6 lbs. Both are about 11 years old but still full of energy and curiosity. … Continue reading Pets Need Nature Too

We've gone hiking, biking, roller-blading, skiing, snow-shoeing, rowing--and now, paddle boarding. I didn't see this one coming because he's not crazy about the water. He … Continue reading A Husky on a SUP? Yes!

Jan. 25, 2019.  I tested Roscoe’s Siberian Husky genes today through the use of a harness and 12-foot rope, for a cross-country ski on Huron Bay. A few inches of snow covered the ice, which is perfect for skiing…but without a trail to follow, it was not perfect for mushing!  He wasn’t sure which way … Continue reading A Husky Wants to Pull!
