Snow Shoeing At Northstar with Hunter

This past weekend I went on an amazing moonlight snowshoe tour at Northstar in Tahoe - dog friendly!  The tours occur at the end of each month, on schedule with the full moon.  We did not have the full moon illuminating the hike, but instead were graced with an amazing downpour of snow that just wouldn't quit.

While I was fully soaked by the end, the hike itself was one of the most beautiful adventures I have been on.  Snowshoeing on the mountain without a single skier was so peaceful and being able to enjoy it with Hunter was an experience I will never forget (and one I want to do again).

Here are some pics from the snowshoeing trek:

Brushing Hunter

If you are a Siberian Husky owner (take note if you are perspective Husky owner) you know that when spring rolls around and you are looking summer straight in the eye it's time to get out the brush and vacuum. Tis' the season for coat blowing. As such, you are practically required to give your dog a thorough brushing once, if not twice a week.

Their fur practically falls right off when you pet them, and it is no exaggeration to say you can continually pull clumps and clumps of fur directly off of their coat. I spent 45 minutes today brushing Hunter and the hair never ceases to stop coming. You can see the results for yourself. And mind you that this hair was all wadded and clumped together after it was brushed off

Hunter needs some face time!

Hunter was acting like a super model with a wicked coke habit for some time, refusing to eat day in and day out. Now he has decided to take up chowing down on non-human food on a regular basis and dad couldn't be happier. Man I feel like an overly proud parent.

Hunter's day @ the Dog Park

Very rarely does Hunter get to stir it up with a Husky, let along three. Today he was in Husky heaven...
