EYES ARE HARDER TO ADOPT OUT

LOOKS.

LAKES RABBIT SANCTUARY ON OUR

THREE MILES DOWN AND GIVE THEM
THE PICKUP CHINO AND THREE MILES
BACK, AND I TRIED DO THAT EVERY
OTHER DAY AND THEN IN THE OFF
DAY IF THEY DON’T GO THAT
LENGTH, I TRY TO TAKE IT IN
BETWEEN DAYS.
THEY GET PLENTY OF WORK AND
THAT’S PROBABLY WHAT HELPS THEM
BE SO CALM.
>> WE GO TO WEST BORN USUALLY
AROUND 2:00 IN THE AFTERNOON AND
WE GO IN, THE PRODUCE MANAGER,
HER NAME’S ANNETTE, AND SHE
LIKES TO COME OUT AND FEED THEM.
THEY GET SO EXCITED, AND THEY
HARDLY CAN CONTAIN THEMSELVES.
>> CAN I PET THEM?
>> SURE CAN.
>> Reporter: SINCE CHEYENNE AND
YUKON ARE PRETTY WELL-KNOWN WHEN
I DRIVE TO THE MARKET THERE’S
GONNA BE TWO, THREE, FOUR PEOPLE
WHO ALREADY KNOW WHO THEY ARE
AND OTHER PEOPLE THAT HAVE NEVER
MET THEM, THEY’RE GONNA WANT TO
FIND OUT ABOUT THEM AND TAKE
THEIR OWN PICTURES AND ASK IF
THEY CAN PET THEM, AND THAT’S
ALL WELL AND GOOD AND MAKES ME
KIND OF HOPE THAT SEE THEM
HAPPY.
HE MET PRESIDENT CLINTON WHILE
HE WAS IN TOWN CAMPAIGNING FOR
HILLARY.
WHEN HE STEPPED OUT OF WEST BORN
MARKET WHERE WE WERE AT THE
TIME, HE IMMEDIATELY NOTICED
CHEYENNE AND YUKON IN MY VEHICLE
AND WENT RIGHT UP TO THEM,
SURROUNDED BY THREE SECRET
SERVICE AGENTS, AND HE REALLY
ENJOYED THEM.
>> THEY WERE REALLY EASY TO
TRAIN.
REMARKABLY EASY.
IT SEEMS LIKE THEY JUST WANT TO
PLEASE, DIFFERENT THAN MY OTHER
MALEMUTES.
ALL OF MY OTHER MALEMUTES WERE
GOOD, I’VE HAD 11 OF THEM NOW,
AND THEY’VE ALL BEEN GOOD BUT
NEVER HAVE BEEN LIKE THESE TWO.
THESE TWO ARE REALLY UNIQUE AND
IT’S PROBABLY BECAUSE THEY’RE
LITTER MATES BUT THEY’RE SPECIAL
DOGS.
I LOST MY WIFE EIGHT YEARS AGO,
SHE WOULD TAKE THE DOG HAIR AND
HAVE IT MADE INTO YARN AND SHE
WOULD CROCHET AND MAKE SCARVES
AND AFGHANS AND SHE HAD THE
PATIENCE FOR THAT, WHICH I
DON’T.
IN MY OPINION, A MALEMUTE IS A
GREAT FRIEND/PET.
I WOULDN’T RECOMMEND IT TO MOST
PEOPLE BECAUSE IT’S ABOUT THE
CLOSEST TO THE WOLF AS FAR AS
TEMPERAMENT AND PERSONALITY.
THEY REQUIRE A LOT OF WORK TO
KEEP THEM SETTLED DOWN.
THEY NEED RUN, THEY NEED WORK
OUT, AND YOU NEED HAVE A LOT OF
TIME TO INTEND THEM.
>> GOOD JOB.
>> THEY BRING ME HAPPINESS AND
MAKE ME CALM AND CONTENT.
IT’S AMAZING THE EFFECT THAT
DOGS HAVE ON HUMANS.

PARENTS HOUSE AND ONCE I GOT MY
OWN PLACE AND GOT SETTLED IN MY
LIFESTYLE I WAS READY FOR MY OWN
LITTLE FUR BABY.
HE WAS JUST A LITTLE ORANGE PUFF
BALL, AND HE WAS SO CUTE, AND SO
SMALL.
BUT I THOUGHT THAT HE WOULD BE
PERFECT.
HE JUST STARTED RUNNING
EVERYWHERE AND PLAYING WITH ALL
THE TOYS LIKE HE WAS IMMEDIATELY
COMFORTABLE ENOUGH TO PLAY.
IT WAS A LOT OF FUN, AND I CAN
TELL THAT HE WAS GONNA BE A
HANDFUL AND HE WAS.

AGE AND WE’RE REALLY GOOD
FRIENDS NOW, I GUESS.

BACK AND REALLY SPRAWL EXPOWLT
TAKE AS MUCH ROOM AS POSSIBLE
WHETHER IT BE ON THE COUCH, ON
THE FLOOR, I MEAN, HE JUST LIKES
TO SHOW OFF HIS BELLY BUT YOU
CAN’T TOUCH HIS BELLY.
WE’VE LEARNED THAT.
HE IS VERY LAZY AND CALM DURING
THE DAY.
BUT THEN AT NIGHT, HE’S READY TO
PLAY, ALWAYS WANTS TO CHASE TOYS
AROUND, EVEN HE’LL PLAY BY
HIMSELF.
HE’S GOT LITTLE LIKE STUFFED
BALLS THAT HE’LL TOSS AROUND.

TO BE.
