Mackey - Pony Pasture - 11.24.07I hadn't really intended to get a new dog this soon but for some reason the stars just lined up and here he is. He was born on 6.1.07 so he'll be six months old next week. And he weighs 46 pounds and he's cheerful and outgoing and friendly. It's around 1030 and he's snoring at my feet. He's starting out in life with a lot more advantages than Nicky did and if he makes even half the improvements Nicky made, he will become one of the world's great dogs. He is named after Lance Mackey, the first person to win the Yukon Quest and the Iditarod in the same year - an astonishing feat of dog athleticism.
He's already had one great walk at the river plus one to the pet cemetery and he's worn out. And so am I, and he and Ivory and I are getting up early to head back down to the river for our Sunday walk. Stay tuned - more updates soon. Have a great day,
Jay, Ivory and Mackey
