My favourite boy husky....

Getting ready to run....

I am very happy today.

I got to run with my favourite boy husky for hours and hours and Lady Human told me that I am doing something very special and exciting on Friday…..

Lady Human was a little sad when she put my harness on today, she cuddled me lots and told me that she was going to miss me lots.  I thought that we were going out just her and me but then she got Kroi’s collar and lead and asked if he wanted to come too.  Kroi never says no to running or going anywhere with Lady Human. 

Kroi leads the way...

Kroi is allowed to run with just his collar and lead, but I need to wear a harness because I like to pull and Lady Human says it would hurt my neck if I didn’t wear a harness.  One day I hope I can run on the long lead and collar because it looks like so much fun.  Kroi runs back a forth between me, Lady Human and all the exciting sounds and smells of the countryside.  He likes to wee a lot, which is silly as he should go before we start running….

Finally won him over...

Kroi is my favourite boy husky and I like snuggling up to him when I am sleeping.  He likes it now, but didn’t when I first moved in.  He was such a mummy’s boy husky and didn’t know how to treat Lady Huskies.  He got really grumpy when I followed him everywhere and wouldn’t let him have any of the toys – he said they were his. 

He has changed a lot since I have known him and is now nearly a grown up.  He is going to be a daddy later this year and he said that if he has a baby girl he will call it Lara.  I think he was just being nice to me as I think he wants a baby boy husky to play rough and tumble with.

It is fun running with Kroi and Lady Human.  Sometimes we go really quickly and sometimes we just trot along admiring the view.  We always see lots of furry creatures and Lady Human gets cross when we try and catch them.  I think she is just jealous as she isn’t fast enough to catch them…

Lady Human kept on barking today and making “choo” noises.  And her voice sometimes sounded funny too.  I wondered if an alien had taken over her body like sometimes happens in the movies, but Kroi told me that she just had a bug.  That sounds weird as the only bugs I know are the ones that crawl across the floor and I try to eat….

See, I am prettier than him, but he is rather handsome

Another big scary dog tried to hurt me again today and this time it wasn’t Lady Human that protected me, it was my favourite boy husky.  He knocked the dog down and tried to sit on it, he didn’t hurt it, but the bad dog decided not to attack me again.  The bad dog’s owner eventually took his dog away.  I don’t think Kroi liked the bad dog or his owner as he stood staring at them until they were safely away from us and I think he was muttering something under his breath.  Lady Human gave Kroi lots of cuddles and told him that he really was turning into the dog that she dreamed of…..

Lots of other dogs came chasing after us, but we ignored them and kept on running.  I think the owners of those dogs shouldn’t let them off lead if they are naughty.  One dog chased us across busy roads and was very lucky not to get hit by a car.

It was safer when we were in the countryside as the country dogs and their owners behave.  It was the town dogs and their owners that didn’t have manners….

We met a nice old lady that wanted to talk to the Lady Human.  She said that it was amazing how well behaved we were.  I think she was mistaken as Kroi was pulling funny faces to make me laugh when the two humans were chatting…..

Shall we go upstairs now..?

When we got back home Lady Human went out running with Krofti and then Kez.  Kroi and I thought that she got lost when she went out with Kez as they were gone for ages.  We snuggled up together at the front door waiting for them to return. 

Then we all had lots of breakfast and Lady Human even let me have some of hers.  Lady Human then went back to bed so I lay beside her bed as it was warm and comfy.  The boy huskies all stayed downstairs – I think they were too tired to climb the stairs….

I think Lady Human forgot that today was Sunday as we all went running in the evening too….  Kroi and I had to wait until last and he got really upset about this and had a bit of a sing song to let everyone know….

We ran up the track to the big hill and Lady Human kept on asking us to stop and then she played with her little box that makes “dring, dring” noises.  Then she suddenly squeaked really loudly and crouched down low.  Kroi ran over to her and started making funny little noises.  I tapped her with my paw to make her run again, but she didn’t want to.  She turned around and headed home, we never made it up the hill, but I did try and catch a mouse on the way back….

I had a really fun day today and I think I am going to have even more fun next weekend…..
