Fall Break Fun

     This weekend I got a four day Fall Break. We got to rebuild the "Cozy Corner" blanket fort. I am glad to announce that the fort was not destroyed by "Hurricane Hoover". I don't know why he didn't attack but it was possibly because Nikita stood guard at the fort. She is worse than "Hurricane Hoover" when she is in the mood. With Nikita as guard, we slept like kings.

      I'm glad I slept well for the next day we practiced soccer. We have a created a new exciting drill. Mum hurls the ball at the goal and I have to block it without hands. I have to tell you, Mum can really throw some hard balls. Yet the drill has side effects. Mum got a sore arm and shoulder. And I gained a few bruises. It really is a lot of fun!
     On Sunday we had ODP. I enjoy practicing with kids throughout the state. We practice in the morning and scrimmage in the afternoon. It is kind of like IU soccer camp.        

    Jilly is a sweet fluffy Malamute at Northern Lights. She is not the friendliest with other dogs and you need to be experienced with other Malamutes. You will need a six foot fence because she is a very crafty escape artist. However, she is a very sweet girl. Jilly is affectionate and warm, winter is coming. Here is link for more on Jilly: Jilly 

   In other sled dog news, Lizzie and Hoover can dig long and large trenches. They dug along the whole side of our garage. We're not sure what their motivation was for digging, maybe a mouse or rabbit. They continue their squirrel hunting. They came close to a success. A squirrel visited our yard, yet it escaped up a tree with sled dogs in close pursuit.
    I should probably end this post, Lizzie is wanting some belly rubs.
