2012    -  some highlights

 

 

Our special dogs for 2012

  ~        River   ~    Nova  ~    Jingles  ~    Stanley   ~

 

The start of the year saw both of us still very emotionally raw and mourning the tragic death of Taxi on a country road just after Christmas.

This Husky was our special house dog, sleeping beside the bed and genuinely wanting to interact with us, his people.

Particularly poignant was that his death came just weeks after he became the first Siberian Husky in Australia to be awarded titles in the new sport of Dances With Dogs and Heelwork to Music

 

 

Rally O came to Australia with the first official trials in

January 2012

We took River along, and though she was still too young and too inexperienced, she did her best 

 -  and passed at her first Trial!

 

 

There was no respite from the continuous stream of Huskies needing new homes. January saw us place out the white litter sisters, Sass and Mailen, and we had Shadow (with deformed front legs, then Cyba (11 years young!) fostered here for some weeks.

Cyba had been fostered with us back in 2007 - it was a shock to find him dumped in the Griffith Council Dog Pound at his venerable age
