Dog Walking

We have had our rescue dog, Suki, for 5 years now. She is such a good dog and loves to give kisses constantly. I often call her licky looloo. Two weeks ago we got a new puppy. A guy in our neighbourhood breeds half Malamute and half wolf puppies. We have always wanted one but we couldn't shell out the 1000.00 dollars for a pup ( at least not until Molly's braces are paid for). We ran into him on a dog walk and he mentioned he had a pup that has cerebral hyperplasia and if we are interested in him, he would take 100.00 dollars. We immediately did the research and found that these dogs or cats develop this in the womb and it is a brain development issue due to a variety of reasons. It can be mild to severe but it does not get worse and it does not effect the lifespan or health of the pet. We were meeting the pup the next day and decided to wait and see how severe his case is. Well he has a very mild case and can go up and down the stairs without any issues. He does look like a jack rabbit when he runs! We as a family, chose the name Hatchi. The name comes from a famous japanese dog story of loyalty. Hatchi is super cute but is almost as big as Suki at 14 weeks!

Here are the two cuddling.




We are just loving the fall dog walks. The park is empty by 7 in the evening and we have the whole few acres to ourselves along with our neighbours. A real dog pack!
My choice dog walking footwear for the wet chilly fall weather are my Blundstones. They are really waterproof as well as quick to get on and off.
