Introducing Reggae....

He arrived a week ago, but I've been playing nurse to both my hubby and Heyoka so I haven't had time to introduce him properly. Both the sickies are still sleeping this morning, so...

Please meet Reggae. He was a little confused when he first got here. So many dogs, no tethers.....


But he is settling in nicely. Reggae is nine years old and came from the same kennel as Sleet and Paxil. Paxil's retirement left us more or less leaderless! Tehya will be a leader in a year or two, but she's not quite ready yet. It's still way more fun for her to stop and play with loose dogs rather than obey an "on-by" command! Reggae is a command leader and should help us get down the trail without too much ruckus this winter....just need a few more inches of snow so that snowhook will hold!

Tehya loves her new chew toy! Reggae is nine, but he plays like a much younger dog! So far he's gotten along fine with all the dogs he's met. He truly hates being alone so I make sure he always has a buddy in his pen. He's got a good howl on him that the neighbors might not appreciate hearing all night long!

I think he's happy in his new home!
