Kay Lee, By the way, Congrats for the great show earlier this summer. Sounds great. Would really like to get down to meet you and have my family and Nomie meet your pack. Koyuk and Nome look so much alike.Nomie has really mellowed lately. He did ok in boarding for a month - got out of shape - but is getting back in shape lately. He got lots of good visits with Carrie and her dogs including he met Kaltag (Kole)
We haven't left Nomie's side since returning from Maine and his being boarded. Nomie's become quite hotel and travel savvy since then. Stayed with us for a soccer tournament down in Olympia at the Red Lion recently and even better, we went to Vancouver BC last weekend (Sheraton in Surrey is dog friendly) and he had lots of new experiences. He crawled across a suspension bridge near Vancouver (he didn't love that hence the crawling) then he hung out and played in the river with us - which he did love. He's been on ferries to Vancouver island and back and went high atop a bridge over Nanaimo River Gorge that my son was crazy enough to bungy off of. He's getting calmer about meeting other dogs and people (he's so social).
I'd like to him trained to pull, that would be so fun for he and I. I've been having some success with roller-blading with him which allows him to get a faster paced exercise and still be on leash. It's hard to find a good flat area but the Red Lion Hotel parking lot was perfect and it was great way to get him some solid exercise while spending lots of time in car rides that weekend. This coming weekend he's going to Idaho with me and will do a 13 mile hike there. I hope he and I are ready for that. He'll camp with me and my old college buddies there and one of his favorite lab friends.
Again, Congrats on the show and pulling experience described in your e-mail and hope to meet you guys one day. Sue
