Hike N' Howl 2007

Mom and I posing in front of the sled (Echo's dad took this pic!)

Today was a great day in the history of Siberian Husky (and other Northern breeds) rescue. Three rescues filled with volunteeer bipeds pulled together to help us pooches, past, present, and most importantly, future. I had lots of fun and got to see a lot of old doggy friends and made tons of new doggy friends. I even got to meet some more blogging doggies (well, at least mom did). I was so exhausted I passed out asleep as soon as we got home....Canyon and Sky were very jealous, but I am the Queen and had a duty to meet with all the subjects in my husky kingdom. I hope you all enjoy the pictures I had mom and dad take for me today.

This seemed to be an awfully funny looking husky (shhh...don't tell but that was Magnum and Blue's mom in there). Some of the doggies thought it was just another sibe, some thought it was a really, scary, huge monster husky and some, like Precious, were very smart and figured out it was just a very nice biped there to say hi to all of us doggies, HUSKY STYLE!!!!

This is what the MaPaw booth looked like...ready to go for the day!

Mom was assisted by Meeshka's mom in doing a talk on how to help us doggies in the event of an emergency. Mom discussed how to stock a pet first aid kit, how to learn more about our normal selves so the humans can help us to know if we are having a pupmergency, choking (that's Meeshka's mom demonstrating back blows for choking), allergic reaction, burns, and seizures. The talk concluded with Meeshka's mom telling everydoggy about GimpyDogs.

This is Maverick, MaPaw's newest foster.

This is me in the alumni parade....I got to be introduced with the Seniors. In my case, age and beauty go together. I was so proud to be representing MaPaw!

Remember Maximus?? His new name is Maximillion ( I do think the name fits...he seems to have struck it rich with his new family) and here he is with his new sister, Tasha (a MaPaw dog too). He was awfully interested in the goody bags and he looks very happy!!! Mom, Dad, and myself visited with him and his new sister and dad for a little while.

Last, but not least, can you believe this is Rocky pup?? Look how he has grown in a few short weeks. He was definitely soaking up the attention today.

We couldn't have asked for a better weather or turn-out of doggies and their humans. One of the park rangers guesstimated we had about 200 doggies at the event throughout the day. The numbers for money raised are looking to be very astounding...and it will be bigger and better next year. My mom is already very excited for next year...me?...I need to rest up for next year. Good night to all!!!

Woo Woo, Kelsey Ann

BTW, Don't feel bad for Sky and the annoying one (Canyon), Dad told them they get to go to the Scottish-Irish festival next weekend.
