at Mountain Home ~ 4 Girls! & 1 Boy!
(4 1/2 months back to 7 1/2 weeks)
We said good-bye to Gemma on January 23rd as she left for her new home
Here she is as the forklift took her crate to the waiting airplane
Gemma and Stealth, enjoying R & R on the couch
Snowplow Gemma
Is this a snow nose?
Gemma
Stealth
Heading back home
Skipper, watching us coming back
Skipper, keeping his eye on us :-)
Back home, the girls cuddle up next to the wood stove
January 15th, this is their last week together as Gem will be jetting off to Finland next week
The girls enjoying each other's company
We are ALL going to miss our buddy Gemma
Stealth checks out an old fence post
and of course, Gemma has to check it out too .....monkey see, monkey do <LOL>
I KNOW it's got to be down here somewhere!
Turbo may live in California, but his heart is in an igloo in the arctic ;-)
Oh, but hanging out in a warm house isn't too bad either!
Back at Mountain Home, early January is bringing more snow
Gemma on the *trail*
Stealth
But a Malamute nose can find buried treasure no matter how deep the snow gets
Stealth and Gemma found a deer leg bone today!
"Hey Sister... Goin' my way?"
Stealth says "Wow! It's getting kind of deep when you get off the trail"
View to the southwest,
a sample of the scenery we get to walk through

Another view of the scenery, this time looking toward Gardner Mountain
It is 15 miles to our northwest, as the crow flies
An interesting side-note, Gardner Mt. is the highest point in our (Okanogan) county at 8,974 feet
Santa came, and Stealth was a *good girl* this year :-)
Two days before Christmas and Stealth and Gemma are already poking their fingers through the wrapping paper trying to figure out what's in their present
"It's really hard to 'think outside the box' when you know what's inside" ;-)
Dec. 15th These two girls say "There's NO business like SNOW business!"
"How snowy can we get???"
Evo has been given her permanent name now, it's Gemma!
Gemma will be leaving for her new home after the holiday season is over
Stealth
Back home. Gem and Stealth drying off beside the woodstove

Walking in our winter wonderland

(actually, she's tip-toeing trying to stay up on the crust <g>)

Enjoying themselves

Dashing through the snow
They always come inside to dry off and warm up after our walks
Playing with their favorite toy
zzzzzzzz
Buddies, sharing their rope toy
LuckyTurbo has a really huge rope toy!
Turbo and his big brother Arwah playing tug o' war
All these fancy dog toys and what does Turbo choose to play with?
....A soda bottle!
Turbo, hanging out in his yard
December 2nd, the snow is getting deeper...
and the puppies' legs seem to be getting shorter!
The gang, digging for a gopher ....or something only Malamutes can know is there beneath the snow!
Evo, December 1st
Stealth and Evo on one of our walks
Usually too quick to get any pictures of them
At 12 1/2 weeks, they are full of energy and curiosity
Evo
Stealth
And they are off again!
Heading home-
Cruiser in the lead, followed by the 2 pups, Star, Annie and Sue
Stealth and Evo dry off on their blankets beside the woodstove
Because the couch is being hogged by the big dogs!
The pups' Great-grandmother Annie, their Mom Cruiser and Great-great-grandma Star
Bella is learning new and fun things at puppy class
Like jumping through hoops!
Go Bella!
April, looking beautiful in Oregon's autumn splendor

Sharing is good. What a couple of nice boys!

Bella at 10 weeks
Where'd Bella go??? Peek-a-boo!
April at home in her new back yard
...she's king of the pumpkin hill
After a hard day of playing in the yard, April sacks out on the couch :-)
She's living a *ruff life*
November 15th, Stealth and Evo experience their first snow!
The usual view of the two of them on our walks, all we see is their rear ends
They rarely sit still for a picture. Got lucky a couple times on this walk with Evo
Stealth, incognito in the bushes ;-)
Evo
Evo, heading off again!
Drying off after a walk on a rainy autumn day
Cruiser, Evo and Star take the couch ...OK, so now where are us people supposed to sit???
Evo at 10 weeks - the brightness from the window makes her pic too dark
So we tried covering the window for Stealth's pic
A little better, but still not good
Will try again ....outside in the daylight!
April left for her new home in Oregon on November 5th,
here she is with her owner Pat
April on her last day at Mountain Home
Talon is now known as Bella!
Bella at her new home, with her new friend Rocky
Not only do they have earthquakes in California, but they have GIANT spiders ....eeek!
Luckily,Turbo was not eaten by this one on Halloween!
Talon took a plane trip to her new home in Massachusetts on October 30th,
here she is on her last day at Mountain Home
Turbo is home in California!
And he's fitting in well with his new *family* :-)
October 28th, today's theme: I've got a bone to pick with you !!!
....the puppies get bones to chew!
Stealth says "Ooooh this looks quite yummy"
Talon wastes no time chowing down
April is going to go hide hers in the dog house
Evo thinks this is some really great stuff
October 27th, a chilly morning at 25 degrees
Turbo's new owners stopped on their way back from the National Specialty to pick him up today.
He's on his way home to California to live with his older half-brother Arwah
Includes lots of pics when the puppies were younger
