D is for dogs past and present…
Are you a cat or dog person?
The answer is very obvious in this post which is a total PHOTO blog of my two dogs and a few others!
Nanuq is a husky-lab cross now about 7 years old, originally rescued from one of my work stints in the arctic. Nanuq is Inuktituk for “ polar bear “ and she has always been my baby polar bear!
Dysis, lovely Siberian Husky, came to us as an older rescue before Nanuq
These two were always companions both for romps in the snow, lazying in my office or the back garden, on trips to Nunavut or with fresh hair cuts and neck scarves.
Dysis left us all, this past January 2014 at age somewhere between 10 and 14 years.
Nanuq still does vigils on the back porch and now alone fights off the magpies, who try and steel her food.
Maggie, a young lab and great hunting dog lives with her family just outside of Calgary and forever will chase the ball.
Ilala, a young Rhodesian ridgeback, belongs to my daughter. Amelia and her husband Sean in Vancouver and even attends church!

Thanks for stopping by Cheryl. My photos always a part of my blogging. With this A-Z challenge it is the writing that comes with a bit more work!
Love the two huskies -- they really do look like small polar bears!
