High praise indeed. Thanks all. Glad that everyone is enjoying the images. If anyone ever finds themselves in the greater Toronto area (we're about 1 hour north on the "interstate"), I'ld be glad to arrange a live tour of the Sanctuary. Photos can be problematic though, since photography is not allowed except for designated shutterbugs (like Dana, me and another volunteer there), but even without a camera, it's an amazing experience.

Very nice pix - I was finally able to view them (the other day the first one loaded then it hung - tried
several times). Love the "play" (our dogs used to play like that - people would ask if they were
fighting (sure sounded like it). I told them it was easy to tell if they were fighting for real - there
would be blood
Here's one of my new puppy and the older female "playing" (look ma, no blood) - gives the
same feeling.

You can't have too many gadgets or too much disk space !!

My siberian huskies were the same way...they like to play rough, just like wolves. Funny thing, they would recognize other huskies and play rough, but with non-husky breeds, they would tone it down a lot. It's like they knew...."you're one of us"!
Your dogs Sammies?

With Northern Breed dogs, thick fur does help a lot.

I'm sure it does, but still, I'm often amazed at it. I've owned both cats and dogs, often playing exceedingly rough with them, and in spite of not being a furry creature, I've never been hurt by them. Been slobbered on, have walked around with a cat glued to my leg, but I've never bled. Wait a minute... When I was a kid, the family dog mistakenly jammed her tooth up my nose.

Yep - Sammies - the older one is the sister of the male that was poisoned last
June by the "alarm salesman" we called the cops on (he came back that night
and poisoned him). Still not over that. The little guy is 16 weeks old there.
Something really strange about sammies though - something about black dogs
sets them off. We have no idea why since we like black dogs (labs etc) - other
sammy owners have noticed the same thing. The northern breeds are definitely
a breed apart though (talk about thick heads !! )

I would have been doing something a bit more drastic than calling the cops. My animals are more important to me than most people I know...and better behaved too.
Thick heads? Just like their owners, in our two cases.
