Today we got another team member. Gus' sister Achoo came to us...a little pipsqueak of a dog, but my does she work hard! She's quite shy, just as Gus used to be, so I have my work cut out for me. She loves to pull, works hard, and we'll use feeding her to overcome her shyness. My dogs all learn to eat while being petted. If they won't allow themselves to be petted while they eat, the food is removed and we try again later. It doesn't take them long to figure out what they have to do to be fed!
I also learned where Gus' and Achoo's names came from. Many mushers give litters "theme" names, and this litter was no exception. These dogs were named about "noses". Gus is short for gezundheit, and Achoo is well, a-choo!
Welcome Achoo!
