large fluffly flakes overnight about 4 cms  so I decided before all melted to get out in the ravine with my x-c skis but with the challenge of bringing both dogs. Not unexpectedly the dogs are settling down with each other and fewer disputes. Dysis still grabs the odd toy but has accepted her presence in an aloof way. In the ravine they run together, Dysis chasing squirrels and Nanuq following to a certain point and then retreating. They actually have had moments of play-where Dysis on a mad run and the pup crouching and springing up. The leash-free area has been good for the pup in terms of socializing but the best play is always with another puppy like the chocolate lab we saw today. Nanuq is chewing everything and jumping up...and we often have tug of wars with the knotted rope
or any other object including towels for wiping feet or a snatched glove...somehow lost the copy of the rabies vacinnation so had to get it faxed via RCMP i Arviat.
