It’s been a while since I’ve had a post featuring my canine family. Having several dogs puts me in touch with many other pet owners. From the moment I started working as a real estate agent, the difficulties that pet-owners have finding a place to live have become a major focus for my business. So when I see my pets, I am looking at a source of inspiration

Jade & Tundra are with me everywhere. People ask me what they are and are they related. They are both white Siberian Huskies and yes they are “related” though not litter mates. The white color isn’t that common in show dogs (although it is allowed in the ring) but is more typically found in sled dog lines. When people think "Sibierian Husky" they are generally thinkng of a black and white dog with blue eyes. Hence the confusion over my green and amber-eyed white dogs. Although there are show dogs in their background, they also come from a line of true sled dogs.

When I first started blogging back in September of ’07 - Tundra was a puppy about 4.5 months of age. She was introduced into my household in late July 2007. Since that time she has grown into a dog and has established herself as the mover and shaker of our little pack. Bold and energetic she is always a source of inspiration – and trouble….Jade is a very mellow if shy dog. Talk about opposites! She’ll sit by my side for hours while I work while Tundra makes it clear she has things to do, people to see and dogs to chase. But don't let the quiet exterior of Jade fool you. She is a master hunter and has chased an caught squirrls, skunks, mice and rats.

Buddy doesn’t go with me as much as Jade and Tundra. Buddy is a rescue and is probably a mix between Australian Cattle Dog and Siberian Husky. Tough and strong, Buddy loves all people, but the same can not be said for other dogs – which is why I don’t take him on as many outings. He’s in fabulous shape for his 10.5 years, Buddy guards the house and goes for special extra walks with me when I get home at night. As far as the antics of the girls are concerned, he tends to sit above and beyond it all.

So here are some photos. I want to thank them as they have been a great resource for my blogging as well as the inspiration for my niche market.
