Rants and Raves

    I have some very sad news to announce about huskies and malamutes. There have been some recent killings in the Midwest for sled dogs. In total four sled dogs were killed. The first was a husky named Uconn who was adopted from Northern Lights six months ago. He got out of his yard and when his owners realized Uconn was gone they were in close pursuit. But then a man shot Uconn with a bow and arrow. The man claims to have shot Uconn because he attacked his chickens and threatened him and his dog that was chained up.

     Another man killed two malamutes because they followed him home and did not leave his home when they got out of their yard. And one more man shot another husky, named Tyson, because he thought the dog was aggressive with his tail between his legs. That is a sign of submission. 

     I don't understand it, it makes me sad. I'm glad that our neighbors have helped the couple of times our dogs got out rather than shoot first. But I should talk about a lighter topic.

   Lizzie improved her mole hunting tactics. She may have talked with Nikita for instead of coming to the mole she waits for the mole to come to her. So far she has caught no moles but still could. Hoover and Lizzie also enjoyed running in between the branches of half a tree that fell during a storm. That is until Dad and the neighbor chopped the tree up. 
   
  This week was a soccer week. I went to the YMCA and did British Soccer in the afternoon and South soccer in the evening. I think I did well because we won a tournament at the British Soccer camp and at South soccer I stood up to older kids when I was paired up with them. The coaches were nice and I learned a lot from them.
    But you will want to stay tuned for mole progress and an animal shelter camp. Also there is another bigger soccer tournament at Karst Park on Saturday, Hurryin Hackers. 'Nuff said!
