In Memory of Tukker

We lost our dear old dog Tukker, Canadian Inuit Dog, unexpectedly this morning at the age of 12. 

Here are a few photos of him.

Tukker in the river, a favourite spot!

Sleeping out back this winter.

Mark covered Tuk with this sleeping bag a few weeks ago, on a cold day, he slept like this for a couple of hours.

A close up view!

Thawing out in the front porch, he slept here every night this past winter.

He was a character, our big sweetie!!

Whoo hoo my first post!!

Wow, I am really doing this, I hope it works alright. 

My old boy Tukker came in this morning to warm his old bones. He is an old sweetie, who likes to think he is a tough old bum. 

Mark and Thomas are taking the younger two dogs, Kinoje and Cali out ice fishing this afternoon. Tukker cannot walk that far so he will stay at home with me. Poor old retired sled dog! Marks team is now down to two, they can carry the load but Mark will have to run behind, and help push up the hills. Good thing Mark has been running the past two years, getting in shape to be a sled dog of sorts.

This blog will be full of all kinds of things. New weaving or jewelry projects.. new recipes, or old faithfuls. I do love cooking!
