The Million Paws Walk was on again today. This was Logan’s third walk, and Tayla’s second.

We caught up with all the superstars of the Adelaide doggy scene We met up with Amy from Advance Behavioural Training, bought some cool toys from Sam from Furberry, and got Logan a relaxing massage from Griselda from Doggy Bliss.

Lots of photos from the RSPCA Million Paws Walk 2012 can be found on the MyHusky Facebook page.

Everyone loves snapping their husky, but sometimes it’s not as easy as just pointing and clicking. Instagram is a great source of inspiration for high quality photos (and sure, maybe some less good ones too).

Each week we’ll be featuring some of the great husky shots on Instagram.

This week we have…

Snow buddies

Willow and Dexter are regulars at the South Australian meets (they’ve been too every meet so far).

Willow is nearly 3 years old, with only mere weeks between their birthdays she is nearly the same age as Logan. Dexter is much younger, with his first birthday last December.

For this owner profile we are talking to Willow and Dexter’s owners, Rosemary and Daniel.

Husky love

Occasionally it’s good to mix up the food a little with them huskies. Logan sometimes gets bored with his food and decides he’s just plain old not gonna eat it anymore. When that happens we find it’s handy to cook up some food for the week, just to give him something different.

Time for one of Logan’s favourites. Triple B; beef, barley, and bowtie stew.

Huskies in the wild

We went to see out first sprint races today at Jenkins Reserve. It was great to see how the races actually worked, and how much the dogs seem to enjoy it.

The experienced dogs did well, the novice dogs seemed to have fun at least

I don’t think we’re destined for competitions like this, but we are planning on getting one of the bikes for Logan and Tayla. They would have a ball running through the parklands pulling one along.

It’s time again. Iditarod 2012 starts today (March 3rd local time) in Anchorage, Alaska.

The Iditarod is run every year, between the towns of Nome and Anchorage in Alaska. The route switches each year, between the Northern route of Anchorage to Nome, and the Southern route of Nome to Anchorage. The Northern and Southern routes differ in which towns they go through, so as not to disrupt the same towns year after year.

The Northern route retraces the route taken by the dogs during the original Serum run in 1925. For more info check out the history here.

This year is the 40th Iditarod. Many former champions have returned for the anniversary, as well as many past champions from other distance races such as the Yukon Quest, Beargrease and Kusko 300.

Do you know who won the very first Oscar for Best Actor? Emil Jannings for his work in The Last Command and The Way of the Flesh.

Now here’s the real stumper, do you know who was supposed to win the very first Oscar for Best Actor? Here’s a hint, he’s a German Sheperd.

Rinty, the dog that played the first incarnation of Rin Tin Tin, received the most votes at the first Oscar ceremony, but the Academy of Motion Picture Arts and Sciences thought that no one would take them seriously if they did, so they awarded it Jannings instead.

First things first. It’s been hot.

At least in Adelaide anyway. I can’t really stress enough how important it is for Huskies, and dogs in general, to have adequate water and shade during the hot times of the year.

I was home during one of the hot days last week. Tayla and Logan were outside while I tried to sleep of my cold in the morning. And checked on them around 1130 and they had already emptied their water bowl. If I wasn’t home they would have spent the rest of the hot afternoon without any water. Nowadays they have their shell pool as well, but I know not everyone has one of these.

Please remember to take precautions during this hot weather.
