Gettin' Big

Alethia and I flew home Saturday. Things are down right balmy in Southwest Alaska, almost 40 degrees today. Alethia and I visited with one of our new sprint dogs and her pups. I've included a few pictures below:

Minnie is so gentle and such a good momma. She lets us play with her pups all we want. Minnie wasn't raised with kids, but has taken to Alethia and Jake very nicely.

Two of the pups are mostly black and these two are mostly white. The pup in Alethia's right arm (big white blaze on her head) has a way about her. Anxious to see if she becomes a leader.
