BrownStone Chinooks is devoted to fostering the excellent health and wonderful temperament of Chinook dogs. Hard-working Chinooks excel in many activities such as agility, obedience, back yard play, hiking, dog powered sports, search and rescue, and as service dogs. The affectionate Chinook is an excellent family dog matching its activity level to that of its companions - be it strenuous exercise or snuggling on the couch.

BrownStone Catch-up

While Dave is busy preparing for the big Cascadia earthquake during a statewide drill (our house may be a designated communications hub.  The guys are busy seeing how far and with whom they can communicate throughout the state.) and because it is raining out, I have the perfect opportunity to catch up on the blog.
Trask
Yesterday, when the Comcast repairman drove up, poor Trask had a dilemma . "Do I scare him by barking or with my catch". Not wanting to release the squirrel, he gave his best muffled bark. The "scared" guy about fell out of his rig, he was laughing so hard.
I almost didn't post this picture on FB, but chasing and occasionally catching squirrels is a reality around here. The difference this time was Trask giving his best effort to bark at the repairman with a squirming squirrel in his mouth. Almost as funny were the gamut of comments I got on the post including:
Good boy.
Disgusting!!!!
Funny. Yuck and ugh, but funny.
Poor Squirrel
You have to frame this one. What a hoot!
Disgustingly hilarious. I wish I could show Tule that picture! She would be soooo jealous!
Yuck!      
Koyuk
A couple weeks ago I took Koyuk to a Rally-O competition. She earned her second leg toward a new title.  If I had not moved my feet during signaled commands and missed a station all together, she would have her title.  We will keep practicing and try again in June.
Waiting our turn to go in the ring.
 Frontier Chinooks
I also traveled to Washugal Washington to visit a two week old litter at Frontier Chinooks.  My first Chinook, Frontier Rain Dancer McKenzie (McKenzie) was born in this whelping box.
Alaka'i
BrwonStone Cascade Mt Shasta, (Alaka'i) has moved to Florida.  His family sent some pictures.
Cape Canaveral
Ka'i livin' the life.
Muku and Bramble
BrownStone Iditarod Takotna (Muku) and BrownStone Cascade Mr. Mazama (Bramble) daily run forest trails with human family.
Ben and the dogs resting after a run.
Luca
BrownStone Cascade Mt. Klah (Luca) has earned her CGC title and will be traveling to the Chinook National Specialty this summer.
Raining harder. The guys are now downtown at the Sheriff command center swapping stories and filling out paperwork. Perfect afternoon to head for the couch and my book
 More Muku and Bramble
Today's run to Mystery Falls with Muku and Bramble was just posted on FB
I fell asleep reading my book and was awakened by Ginger with news about Trask's pups.  They are very large and heavy for 6 week-olds. Wolfe is over 13 pounds already. Ginger reports that they are all taking long walks with her and enjoying romps in the woods. Well-fed, active, healthy and happy (Cedar's) great-grandpups, Nice thought to end the day.
