Hoss Retirement Update

We just received this sweet photo of Hoss from Tom and Cindy Eckhoff in Revere, PA, with whom he has gone to live out his retirement years. Looking at the photo, it's a little hard to believe that just this past spring Hoss was the main lead dog on Allen's Iditarod team! The emotional latitude and adaptability of our Alaskan Husky sled dogs is simply astonishing!

Tom and Cindy write:
We really love this boy! He adds so much to our lives, and he has fit right in... Even with KoKo-Kitty!

He continues to learn more about his new surroundings, some things were so new to him when he first got here. Like a refrigerator! Wow, good smelling things to eat come out of there! And the microwave was scary at first, but good smelling stuff comes out of there too! Hair dryers are still scary and serve no purpose. And the vacuum, OH MY!

We cannot thank Aliy enough for allowing us to adopt Hoss!
We've focused on puppies quite a bit over the past few weeks, and we always talk about the racing dogs. It strikes me that you may enjoy a little more information about the life of our retired dogs, so I'm going to put together a little series of posts on the subject. You can imagine that Hoss will be a featured dog!
