Spiritual Messengers:  Sea Gulls
Sea Gulls are messengers from the gods, especially ancient Celtic deities.
They bridge the gap between the living world and the spirit world.
Opening yourself to their energy enables you to communicate with the other side.

The Sea Gulls helped Neesh on June 14th--one lone gull came to our yard just before his passing.



I tried, You did

I tried to be patient and understanding
You did
When I asked you to try something you did not like
You did
When we would try something new and unfamiliar together,
I tried and you did
I tried to give and not take so much from you,
you just gave and gave more as time passed.
I could count on you, even when I could not try but you did.
I tried to keep you from pain and suffering
I tried
You did everything unconditionally.
I tried to say good bye,
You said “It is not good bye, I will always be with you”
I tried to be strong for you.
You said, “You did. You are strong because you gave when trying”.
I tried and You did it all.
God Bless your Spirit

30 April 2008:  Naoisha is out of remission.  We have decided not to do the rescue chemotherapy for him.  He is taking prednisone and antibiotics for now.  We know our time left with him is short and we will make sure he is comfortable during his spirit of transition.

He was winners dog at the 2000 Samoyed Club of Minneapolis Specialty (4 pt. major), Best of Winners at Mason City, IA  April 2000, Winners Dog at Granite City Kennel Club show in Dec. 2000 and he took back to back majors at Minnesota River Kennel Club shows Nov 2001.  At the few shows he has competed he has taken the Open class and has received Reserved Dog.  Naoisha will only be back in the ring for a few select shows.  He is a sled dog first.

Naoisha  (NEE-sha)
Naoisha is one of our main wheel dogs, plus will run lead if needed.  He did a wonderful job this past winter working in harness with the team and also for Bob skijoring.  He is a very independent young male but yet wants your acceptance.  He does have a stubborn streak, which makes it challenging to work with him.  He has been in the conformation ring this spring and is trying to finish his championship.  He is most content though when in harness--he is a very smooth mover, and hard worker.
