Springtime is here!!!

Time has passed....soooo quickly!! I apologise for the prolonged silence.....
What has happened since the previous post? One last nice sledtrip in the evening with Johanne... Phoebe now has a total of 30 kms as a lead dog, and doing very well so it would seem! Easter holiday was spent dogless, touring around Scotland with some friends of ours. Very nice! Leaving one of the many castles, we met a couple out walking their pair of Irish Wolfhounds...huuuuuuuuge dogs! They (the humans) had alread got bitten by the "husky sickness", having spent 1 week dogsledding in Finland, and had been over in Alaska this year to see the Iditarod... The man was already planning to add some Alaska or Siberian huskies to his household.....

See some pictures from the trip in Priscila's site:




So - what was Phoebe and Nexus up to in the meantime?! They stayed at a dog and cat hotel....5* it would seem, since Phoebe was relutcant to leave when I went to pick her up! She enjoys the place, since she is allowed to run around with other dogs inside a large fenced area....FREEEEEEEEEEEDOM (of a sort...)!

All the nice lovely snow has gone and green grass and budding leaves have come to replace it... Time to take out the bike again! Phoebe impresses me with her eagerness to run... She has become an adept single-lead dog, and seems to enjoy the speed of low-resistance bike wheels rolling...
