Like Ktuu, Cinnda was a sled dog. Age, infirmity and pain put and end to Ktuu's ability but Cinnda just plain decided she didn't want to do it any more. And if Cinnda didn't want to do something... She moved on as a result of cancer in early 2011.
Don't be decieved by this picture. Cinnda came to us as an outdoor dog, but it took her seconds to decide that she was now a house Husky.
The pose here in our 'Dogloo' was just for effect.
Cinnda loved toys that squeak. That is to say that she loved to eviscerate toys that squeak.
Here she had met her match. The octopus was seemingly indestructible and after two years, no dog had ever managed to even damage it. Cinnda had given up.
The main reason Cinnda became dysfunctional as a sled dog was because she grew to dislike snow, water and generally being dirty.
However, if food was involved, snow was fine.
Cinnda was a very intelligent dog and only had to be told once that she shouldn't be on the sofa. She never got on it again.
However, this picture was taken the day after we got her. Despite the fact that it was not allowed, I had to take the photo because her pleasure was so obvious.
Cinnda was a very good dog to go on a hike with as despite her sled dog origins, she never pulled on the leash.
Sometimes she seemed to prefer the rest stops.
