BrownStone Cascade Mt. Koma, CGC (Liaka) second birthday pupdate and pictures from her human parents.
Dear Kay Lee, Our beautiful Liaka looks just like her mother. Liaka is a star at the Retirement Home. They love her and she loves them. Laika still turns over her bowl of kibble and eats the kibble off the floor. Liaka likes to sleep in our bed. But she thinks it's her bed now. Liaka teases out old dog, Hunter. she runs up to him with a toy and then runs away. He follows and they play tug-a-war with the toy. Liaka and Hunter are best buddies.
Laika likes to give kisses and cuddles. She vocalizes a lot and looks at me like "Why don't you understand?" I wish I could speak Chinook. Sometimes Liaka howls such a primal howl, I think that she could wake up the dead. Liaka is so healthy and beautiful. I wish that she could have puppies. Laika is very spoiled. She likes to have her left-over meat warmed up in the microwave. Laika doesn't much like to go out in the rain to do her business. I keep telling her she is a sled dog, but she insists that she is a California sled dog. - Elaine
Kay Lee, Thank you for writing and posting the delightful account of Alaka’i’s past year! What struck us the most is how similar Alaka’i’s temperament is to Laika’s. Laika is mellow, she loves people and she brings joy to the people of the Coronado Retirement Village that she has been visiting each month. In addition to several classes offered by PetSmart, Laika has taken and passed a class in Therapy Dog behavior in the last year and has also passed the Canine Good Citizen Certification test.
(Laika is the first of the BrownStone Cascade Peaks litter to get her Canine Good Citizen title.)
Like Alaka’i, Laika has had many and varied experiences in the last two years. Unfortunately there has been little snow at
Mammoth Mountain, CA in the last twelve months, so we have not spent much time there. But Laika is an outdoor dog and
loves the snow.We take Hunter and Laika wherever we go. When we can’t take them we have a pet sitter stay in the house overnight with them
We consider Hunter and Laika part of our family and
the get the best Veterinary care that is available in our local community. They visit and play at our local dog park
several times each day. - Jim
