New addition to the Crowsnest Pack

Sorry I have neglected my blog for so long.  Laska's pups are all in their new homes now - go to my website http://www.timbalandshilohs.com/ to see more of them.
We now have another Shiloh in our family Timbalands Epic Raya Sunshine - Raya for short.  She comes from Epic Shilohs in Ontario & is out of two really beautiful dogs Nero & Story. I've been looking for two long years for my next Shiloh & this little girl is everything I had hoped for. Sometime down the line I hope to get her together with Timba for what should be some awsome pups but for now we are just enjoying this little bundle of fun. Very intelligent & mischievous, she's a joy to have around. Timba is her pal & Laska is her surrogate mum - they both let her take liberties with them. Jazz & Moose are not so patient & she has learned to keep a safe distance when annoying them lol.

Puppies!

Well our girl is definately expecting. If not I need to get her on a diet big time! The earliest pups are due is St Patricks day 17th March so watch this space. Nick has made her a a nice whelping box but she prefers the sofa . Timba has claimed the box.

Timba & Alaska breeding

Alaska came in season (for the fourth time!) a little earlier than expected so I had some quick decisions to make. If I wait until her next season  it would mean puppies ready to go around October time & that's not a good time up here in Canada. Cold winters do not encourage good socialisation, lol.
So we are going for it (well Timba & Alaska are vbg) & pups should be born around the 17th March if the mating is successful.

These should be just beautiful pups with brains & beauty.  To follow news of this litter check out my new website http://www.timbalandshilohs.com/ .
By the way Laska's Penn hip score came through this month with excellent results. Right hip 0.25 Left hip 0.36.

The damage


Next day we could see huge great paw prints everywhere - he had pulled down the log pile, knocked over the plant tubs but the only real damage was to our metal patio table. The big fat galoof had sat on it & bent it.

An unwelcome visitor

The dogs woke me up at 3 am barking at something outside - nothing unusual about that. Animals pass by our place all the time so I'm used to it. It wasnt until I heard some strange noises that I got up to see what was going on. There on our front deck was a bear standing on his hind legs (all 7+ foot of him!). It has been below freezing with snow on the ground for a few weeks now so they should be safely hibernating but obviously this bear had not read about that. I withdrew to the bedroom taking the dogs with me in case they got him angry but then I heard noises like he was trying to get in. "Oh no you dont!" I thought & out I came, picked up 2 metal dog bowls & bashed them together as loud as I could. Mr Bear shot off over the side of the deck (10 foot drop) & headed off into the dark.  10 minutes later he's at the back of the house sitting on the hot tub!  I got the airhorn out that we keep for just such occasions, opened the window behind him & blasted him. That did the trick - this time he took off running & didnt look back.
I have to give credit to my dogs. Timba & Moose were right by my side ready to go into action (Jazz & 'Laska right behind me, lol) &  they certainly gave me a lot more courage than I would have had if I'd been alone.
When Nick got home all he was bothered about was that he missed the action & that I hadnt taken any photos! He sat up the next night armed with bear spray & a camera but our new friend hasnt returned. Dont think he wants to tackle me & the Pack again.....
