As a breeder I am always looking for a nice dog! naturally we cant continue the "Cloud Walker Kennel" with out another dog in the beginning I wanted to save them all (don't we all) So when Jane called me and said she had dogs for sale she had decided to sell her Eskimos I said well I could look at a couple (Bought all of them) Zelda was one of the "ALL" she was 6 years old when she came to Cloud Walker and any one who knows American Eskimo dogs understands this is a dog that is already set in her ways and comes with a car load of baggage While Jane took great care of her dogs she to is a breeder and has a kennel. Zelda was never treated as a house dog or as a pet she was a "working girl" and took care of business of producing sweet babies IN purchasing Zelda I knew that her days of production where close at a end but just felt she needed more than just "Retirement" so she made the long trip to her new home here Once again she was treated well lots of play time, lots of interaction with the other dogs grooming and good food but still not a house dog not a pet. She produced me a wonderful litter of puppies in the year she was here but as she reached the age of 7 she was retired and spayed (Still bless her heart NOT a house dog not a pet) Zelda has the baggage remember She had a little shy temperament, always looking like she wanted to be involved with the family adventures but still standoffish I was afraid too shy to adopt out so I had decided that maybe it would be best if she just stayed here to live out her days as part of the "old crew" (Still not a house dog and not a pet) Well here comes Laura and Kevin after their adventure with Mistianne and the heartache of loss they wanted another dog and it had to be an Eskimo! I suggested an older dog not thinking of Zelda at the time (Still not a house dog not a pet) well a love affair has been born after long thoughts and lots of conversations phone calls emails and prayer Zelda IS A HOUSE DOG AND IS A PET!!!!!!!!! with a wonderful family who loves her very much and takes excellent care of her (yes I hate to admit it but better than I ever could) Here are clips and stories of Zelda in her new home with her family members Smoky-Dakota Joe- and Serria Rose (oh yea Kevin and Laura live there to!) Now understand that Zelda at 7 years old carried lots of baggage, was quite shy in temperament, and while friendly with other dogs she had concern of humans most of the notes are from with in the week of her placement in her new home (IM AMAZED) Read her story |
