A quick update / run down on us. We got our first malamute Kane back in 2003, he was our angle and the reason we fell in love with the breed. He was everything a true mallie isn't and the reason I found the original Wildpaw forum In 2007 our second malamute came along Aspen, she was a special girl. At 3 yrs of age she had done both her ACL's so had 2 TPLO surgeries but sadly in 2012 just before her 6th birthday she was beaten by advanced kidney cancer. Eleven months later we lost my heart dog Kane to cancer of the spleen at age 9.5 yrs. I lasted 6 weeks without a dog, I found out our breeder had puppies from Aspen's sister so Nigel contacted her. We were lucky enough to be able to take one on, that is when our current boy Tonrar came into our lives. 13 months later we decided to look into fostering to give Tonrar a friend, this is when my first husky came into our lives. She ended up our first foster fail, we just went the long way around it but that is another story. We soon learnt about dry land sledding here in Australia so we went to an intro Day with Tonrar, I fell in love with the sport and soon got hooked. Not long afterwards Nigel had a go and too became hooked, soon it became a family sport and well with that we needed more dogs lol This is when my second girl came along after being born in care through the rescue I help out. Savi (sauvignon) became my birthday present 18 months ago and my fast runner ;p Next we took on Tonrar's sister Tinka in September 2016 as a foster while our breeder is off training for the services, we still have her at the moment. Before I knew it August just gone hubby comes home with a 13 week old puppy for our youngest son who named him BB (star wars fan and a red), he had been handed over to the rescue and of course will not be leaving us. Lastly came along Zayne a 10 month old that I was asked to pick up for the rescue from the RSPCA. We all fell in love with him and after our eldest saying how unfair it was as everyone had a dog but him we decided to keep him also. Yep suckers haha This was how our current pack was formed and our sledding team. Yes we have more huskies at the moment but in the not to far away future we are hoping to bring in another 2 malamute pups that Nigel will run with Tonrar. The kids and I will stick to running the huskies |

Hi - still trying to figure out the new forum, but its "Teakamom" from the old forum, which I joined in 2003. I was looking for answers to the question of Cushings for my girl Teaka. Teaka was followed up by the famous Amos Wildpaw, who went to Rainbow Bridge last year. In between, a few foster mals, including Aly, one of the Montana Mals. Mocha joined our family at 3 months old in September 2016. He is from the Catoico Kennel in Texas and is a solo-Mal at the moment. He is a little over a year and a half, and all puppy!

Oh boy, where to begin. Life is so crazy now, it's hard to sit down and quietly write anymore. Such a sad reality. I came to the original forum soon after I added Montag to our lives. At that time I had Sky, Kelly and Shook in my life...all now gone to the bridge. And here Montag has recently turned 10. I currently have a family of 8 dogs and 2 human children (and the husband of course). My website says so much more...again...time.... I need more of that. www.skypackmalamutes.com |
