I like remote places-it runs in the family-I like to be left alone...

Your little pups would do fine on acreage, as long as it was well fenced, and they were not left out unattended. I told you about the neighbor’s Yorkie that escapes at least once a week to visit everyone and has to be fetched back. The owners are still looking for the hole in the fence he is using to escape...

Granted, most of the dogs around here are the huge, feared type-Husky girl is a poodle compared to the large dogs around here-there are other smaller ones besides the Yorkie-lots of those little ones are terriers, though. Just on this road, I’ve counted or met 6 Mastiffs, both English and Neapolitan, and 2 Bullmastiffs, so Mastiffs are apparently the doggie du jour. There is also a huge, scary looking Mastiff type of dog from South America-can’t remember the name of it, a couple of Great Pyrenees, a Dane, and a pair of Irish Wolfhounds.

Xs boy texted after we got home on Sunday evening that the Hockey house (where he lives) acquired a pure bred husky pup. Some girl was working on a project with one of the housemates - wasn’t allowed to have the dog where she lives apparently, so she gave it to them, papers shots and all. My first words were— it’s very beautiful and just make sure you aren’t the one bringing it home in May! He sent a pic, and he is gorgeous, already size able and 9 mo old. I asked its name and he said the girl was Asian and so the dog speaks Chinese and English and it had a Chinese name but the boys named him Oshie, which is perfect for a hockey dog— tj Oshie winning the shoot outs to beat Russia the day before. And I have to say I thought tj Oshie was Asian for years!
