Rainy is 6 soon to be 7. I’ve had her 7 months. She had been purchased for breeding, she has excellent hips but cannot breed. I took her and got her spayed. She is a sweet thing but skittish. She’s house broken and knows her name and what no means. Yesterday I had to travel a distance for a medical appointment. I had a friend not a complete stranger to her let her and Bogey out to p*e. She ran off through the woods and a State Policeman called me to say she was out on 101 a dangerous main road. The policeman chased her into the woods she got back to my house and the friend lured her inside with a piece of chicken from the fridge. Needless to say I’m at my wits end. I keep a watch on her. Keep her tethered at times. Use the dog beeper and voice commands which actually work. Any other ideas. She spent a lot of her life kenneled. Her homing instincts seem impaired. I have a fence.

In 1925, diphtheria affected an isolated village in Alaska. Due to the severe cold, it was not possible to transport the medicines by plane and ship, so the transport of the medicines to the town of Noma was organized with the help of mushers (guides or drivers of a dog sled team).
About 1120 miles (1800 kilometers) had to be covered in five days. There were several teams and they took turns on different sections. The Norwegian Gunnar Kasen and his main dog Balto were the first to bring the serum to the village.
It turned out that Kasen had not made a mistake in choosing the main dog, because when the team had an accident, Balto helped his musher, saving him from certain death.
When the storm reached its peak and visibility became low they crossed 85 km. Balto is considered a hero, and in 1925 a monument was erected to him in Central Park in New York.
He was truly a hero, like all the other dogs during this mission. However, the dog that did the most difficult part of the work was Togo who crossed the longest distance 260 miles (418 kilometers). He was part of Leonardo Seppala team of dogs. Togo is the husky, in the photo.

Desperate times call for desperate measures. Never a fan of dogs on the furniture foot surgery and Sams demise have changed all that. At least for now. Bogey and I are healing our broken hearts. On the sofa.

Samson passed away today. He was 11. He had been treated for pneumonia but it came back aggressively. We have his son Beau who is intact. And Sams frozen s***m which was collected when sam was 6. Beau passed all his health tests and is a proven breeder. Rest in peace my beautiful Sam. We have relocated to the southern oregon coast just north of Crescent City.
