Robert's Photos

Patsy Stewart  Robert, years ago, I stepped on a treadmill not knowing anything but how to turn it on….and I had help doing that. That thing kept speeding up and I was soon running as fast as I could go and didn’t have enough sense to know how to jump off. The owner of the gym saw what was going on and ran to my rescue. The machine had been programmed to gradually speed up until you were running. Whew!!😰 I never got back on another one until I had to have a stress test when I was 24. I failed it too. Ha!! My point…..don’t let your new ‘treadmills’ run you through the mill! They are absolutely adorable!!🥰~❤️

Robert Young  PatsySage advice! I have had these kind of treadmills for the last 35 years. We put in a 3/4 acre fenced in kennel for them to have a good size exercise area to try and wear them down …..then walk them 2-3 times a day. But I hear ya!

Richard Munson  Robert: That was why our first 3 dogs were siberians and our last 2 were malamutes. A little calmer, but much larger.  Less escape artists. If and when we feel we can love another dog again, we will probably return to the smaller version due to our age. Did you find them locally or far away? We also built a fenced in fortress with underground wires. Must be a mass general thing. 

Robert Young  To my MGH mentor. We found them in Minnesota. Flew them here with a flight nanny. The 8’ fence and underground wires we did “may” work. Looking forward to many walks and joy in general 

Richard Munson  I just received an email from a breeder in north carolina that saw our grief on line concerning the loss of cassie. She sent me a picture of what she calls wooly siberians which i never heard of. We always liked the wooly look if you saw cassies picture. If and when, i might contact her. In our younger days ( much younger), we used to race our siberians, talk about a lot of work. One race , in mid straightaway they spotted a rabbit off the trail, took a hard right and crashed me into a stand of trees. All tangled up with some mild injuries to yours truly. One of our guys dug out of our pen. before we knew the ropes and got hit by a car which ended our racing. He lived till 14 but with a limp. You must be feeling better due to my mgh mentoring. I hope to see more pictures of your dogs as they mature. Our house seems very empty as you might expect. I still look out the window expecting to see cassie in her enclosure. 

Robert Young  Thank you guys they are all you have expressed! To my mentor: I hesitated to put the pictures on (we got them a month ago) out of respect for you and Cassie. But I came to the conclusion that you would approve. The breeder we got these from has some woolly pups also. They look pretty cool. And finally I am feeling better everyday. The advice and wit you provide are encouraging. All the veterans on this site are great!
