New Puppy!

This is Kona, our new Alaskan Malamute. She's 3 1/2 months old and quite a piece of work. We love her and are getting more used to the idea of being a two-dog family, but she's definitely a tougher puppy than Banjo was! We got her from a breeder whose house recently burned down and had to get rid of these dogs who are too old to sell now. Problem is, she's been kenneled at a vet's for weeks and has no sense of of not sitting in her own potty anymore. Makes me so frustrated that even an animal health professional would put dogs in such an inhumane environment. But, we are happy to have her and optimistic about overcoming her current bad habits.

And Jaron is already talking to local Malamute trainers about getting her some time pulling sleds! Here's to living in the arctic. :)
