Laid back Easter weekend.

Weather is on the unsettled side but the temperatures are enjoyable, up to +3 or so.

Saturday was a near perfect day; it even had many people out and about town in the morning, an anomaly as it is usually fairly quite.
There was hockey play offs at the Husky Centre and a scheduled giant bingo at 1.30 at the school gym. Alas the cards for the bingo didn’t not arrive in time so that was postponed.

We took the remaining two pups for a walk around town in the afternoon. Being responsible dog owners I made up some temporary collars and leads. No thanks said the pups, dug their bums in and were not going to budge. Took the leads off and walked down the road a bit, the female started off after us first, the male is on the shy side but eventually came along. After a short evaluation that all was copacetic they followed along quite well, just a couple of little diversions wanting to follow other people.


Today it is snowing lightly, tried again to get the pups out, not really interested in it this morning, kept going back into their little house and yard. These pictures are of mom and the kids out the side of the house, you can see the two personalities in the pups already. Mom plays a bit rough too so that may have deterred them.




Update:
Anyone wanting one of these cute little buggers let us know. Getting animals flown into the northern communities from Nain is turning out more difficult than people envisioned. Have one pull out and expect another, having trouble finding carriers.

Thanks for the photos of the puppies...I was wondering how big they are at this point.
