Niki
came to live with us in 1971. Nicki was
another outdoor dog.
The first snow of the
season always made Niki hyper.
.
She
loved traveling and camping. Nicki was such a cool Sibe, we
decided to breed her. Finding a mate was a challenge. Niki
turned down the first few suitors.
One
of Niki's favorite places was
on a picnic table.
Niki's
first litter
Nicki
had several litters and we had a hard time letting her
offspring go.
We did keep one pup - more about that later.
.
"Mom,
it's time to get up and go!"
Before
you know, they grow up.
Star -
named Star
because of the facial markings
We kept Star, a husky with a very gentle
disposition, except when competing with Mom!

and Star racing
on the ocean beach
Let
go! We want to run!
Niki
and Star take a break. Must have been a hard day!
OK!
Enough rest. Let's go!
Winter was
always fun. The two dogs loved to explore the trails around
our place in the country
