Happy 3rd Birthday Cascade Peaks Litter

BrownStone Cascade Mt. Trask, CGC

Trask was the first born and was all ready to explore his world before any siblings arrives.

I couldn't get enough of photographing my handsome boy.

Trask has become the Chinook I always dreamed of. Perhaps that should be restated. When Trask gets a bit more impulse control, he will become the Chinook I dreamed of. But then at 3, he is still a pup in Chinook years. And I do also adore and love his mom Koyuk and grandmom Cedar.

(Tule Loowit)

Hi KayLee!

Tule, as you know, is the light of our life! We just love her so much. She goes most places with us, although she really likes her house too. She is very independent and is fine by herself at home. She has traveled quite a bit - many trips to California, occasionally to Canada, and often to Ashland where her best friend the smooth haired collie Wyatt lives. She loves car rides to anywhere and is perfect even on very long rides.

Here she is with Wyatt on a car trip:

Here she is after a good bone session that tired her out:

You cannot get her to climb in bed with people in it, but if they leave...it's fair game!

At the beach!

We just love our Tule and cannot imagine life without her!

BrownStone Cascade Mt. Koma (Laika)

I can tell you that Laika is not happy when I am out of the compound. She constantly looks for me and waits at the gate (like “Lassie”) for my return. Laika visits her friends at our local dog park at least twice a day and loves to go for a long walk with me at night.

At Mammoth Lakes earlier this year I began training her to “skijor”, that is pull me on cross country skis (see photo attached). We have all the gear, but we still need to work on technique. Next winter we are resolved to master this sport.

In summary, Laika is the joy of our lives and a constant topic of conversation in our house.

Thank you so much for giving us Laika!

Bramble's family has been very busy baking thousands of cookies for a humungus charity bake sale put on by their son. This year they added Dog Cookies, tested and approved by BrownStone Muku and Bramble.
