Boomer of The Vermilon River- A Post To Pet Pride.

To All A Merry Christmas!!!


The test of a northern dog is how they get water. 


Ever Attentive


Hey Look at that.....
I already told you Boom's story. These are just some typical photos of Boom and me interacting. Photo 2 is standard for a malamute in that every day out is a free popsicle from nature and the sound of  crunching ice puts my own teeth on edge. This is how ,of course,arctic dogs get their water. There is no point putting out a water bowl.
Boom ,as civilized as he is, is still a feral animal in his DNA, and in the body he inhabits. His hearing and sense of smell is that of the wolf and his eyesight catches movement.I am not saying he is a hybrid! In these last two photos he senses something, and if it is something that I should know about he will grunt not bark. These guys are not barkers, although they will howl, and talk back in a sing song low growl, which is funny to hear.

    Boomer is a handsome dog. I have heard malamutes sing. Our neigbours used to have two that would sing whenever they heard a fire engine siren. Gee, I miss those guys!

    What a great looking dog. I love it when my Husky 'talks' to me but not everybody understands it.

    To Digital Flower Pictures: Boom likes to include other people in his conversations if he can get away with it. Most seem amazed that it actually seems to be a conversation because he seems to be saying something.
