Shadowwolf Sled Dogs

I just thought I'd add a few images, as we've not had much to post lately, as we don't do much running now. Meika is 12 &1/2 & Bear, although a really strong 3-year-old, hasn't got the hang of it yet.
Meika at the Links-East Haven trail when we had a fantastic Aurora. Missed by the cameras, she threw her head back & howled at it. This was not long after Ross had to let Storm go. Meika at Sunset, at the Cliffs just north of Arbroath, where, as a youngster many, many years ago, my family (and dozens of folks from our area) spent the summer weekends down on the beach shore. Last one is Ross's new dog, Bear, with Meika. They got on fine pretty much from the start.

Sorry to be the bearer of sad news. Our youngest Kobe at 11 years & 5 months has passed away. She had an internal bleed & there was little we could do but let her go. We're all sad & her big bro Wil & big sis Illa are still missing her. Maybe as the month's progress, we'll get back to posting the others. Running is now getting to be a problem as really only Ariel is up for it in a big way. The others Wil is 12 & a 1/2 now & has cataracts so seeing is a problem, Illa was diagnosed with diabetes earlier this year but I think will still be up for a run even at the age of 12 & a 1/2. Storm is heading for his 12th birthday but can still do a bit. Ross is running Ariel solo for the moment & I have the other 3 running in a fan configuration with Wil in the middle so he can at least get an outing as he has 2 looking out for him.
All for now looking forward to what will possibly be a last season of running for me & with Wil & Illa. Ross will possibly get another with Ariel. Take care all of you & enjoy the season :)

Hi folks, been a long and very wet summer with a few too hot days. The dogs have been on holiday ours up the west coast in a very wet & windy environment on our caravan trip & the other 2 out camping up the Angus glens. We've had a few medical issues as you do get with dogs now in their later years, 2 turned 12 in April & 2 at 11 with the one in the middle at 11 & 1/2. Wil is getting arthritic I think but he's on YuMove. Seems to have brightened him up but he has cataracts so he won't be running next season. Illa has been diagnosed with Diabetes just like he mum :( & Kobe has had a few infections from heaven knows where but she's OK now. The other 2, as far as I know, are OK. Ross will have to update on that :) So next season will see a reduced team out there & possibly for the last time. We've had over 10 years of fantastic recreational mushing with hundreds of miles covered & hundreds of hours recorded for posterity. Hope you can all look in from time to time, meanwhile Mush on Dudes & Dudettes :)

Not getting a lot of time out on the trails running as the dogs don't respond well to galeforce winds. The fact they are getting older too has something to do with it. The youngest girls Ariel & Kobe (sisters) are to be 11 in April. The Storm is already 11, Wil & Illa are going to be 12 in April.
