Girl scouts, First snow, and only 2 months left! How time flys! I can't believe I have already been out here a month! Well it began snowing in the very early hours of yesterday meaning when I had my VERY early wake-up call (4:30am!! so that we arrived for our girl scouts event on time) there was a great expanse of snow outside my window! Admittidly you couldnt see it very well being pitch black! But it was there :) We had collared up the dogs the night before so at 5am we quickly loaded and departed the house while worrying that we wouldnt be able to get home! The weather forecast predicted 5-9 inches and the latter end of the scale would mean travelling would be a little tricky. As we were on the ... read more

First frost, Running and Peanut Cookies! This morning I woke up to the MOST amazing sunrise I have ever seen. I have put a piccy up for you peoples to see it however my damn camera isn't good enough to truely capture the absolute awesomness that I witnessed :) AND the ground was covered in FROST!! Real life frost :D also the puddles and dogs water buckets had a layer of ice covering them! By layer I mean over an INCH thick!! So we loaded the dogs up in the van, however this time one of the female is in standing heat (meaning she is a baby making machine!) so the poor males were going loopy in there crates trying to get to her! Poor mutts :) we then drove to the other side of ... read more

Visiting a real American Town! Today Linda had to drop off some candles (she makes beeswax candles!) in a town called Stillwater which is one of the FIRST towns ever built in Minnesota! So I came along so I could see a proper old-school american town :) (Watertown though awesome is..kind of small!) Stillwater practically borders the next state eastwards called Wisconsin and they are only separated by a river. We ventured up and down the shops and there was this AMAZING christmas shop that sold absolutly fabulous decorations! I think it was german as it had all the old fashioned 'cuckoo clocks!' and LOADS of wooden nutcrackers in the shape of people!! I literally felt like it was christmas already! Then we went to a proper All American Diner!! Yes there were little booths, ... read more

Meet the Huksies :) Well the last couple of days have been quite quiet so I thought I would introduce the glorious beasts that brought me out 1000's of miles from my home land :) Linda has 13 Huksies at the moment. Most of them are Hedland huskies and a couple are Alaskan breeds. When I came over in April earlier this year she had two inuits which are the dogs that the native americans used to use 'back in the day'! They're far more aggressive and pack orientated than the others but her two where absouletly lovely :) However Ilu (the male and son of Icoa) had a bad back so him and his mum moved up north to carry out the rest of their lives with a Lady that takes in inuits! Anyhoo's ... read more
