I Am an Alaskan Malmute by Bob Riddle

I am an Alaskan Malalmute.

The secret of where I first came from is hidden deep in the blizzard snows of the polar ice, and there is where it will stay. Modern man has no idea where I came from, and the ancient Mahlemut Indians that worked to develop my breed will not reveal the secret. I will tell you that I am a breed that loves man beyond even my own understanding.

I am one that has a sense of humor, I find joy in work that causes other breeds to cringe. Some humans think that I am stubborn, and therefore not very smart, but I am one of the most intelligent dogs in the world. I have often used my brain and humor to frustrate my human friends, but if you take the time to understand me and my independence, you will find out how smart I really am. If I sound as if I am bragging, I'm not. I do not believe in false modesty, nor any other falsehoods. I do not know how to lie. You will see in my eyes the kind of honesty that men can only hope to find.

Through my bloodlines God blessed me with a body that contains power that other breeds envy. Of the northern breeds, I have no peer. My fur is such that the most fridgid winter blast is to me but a refreshing breeze. While my size and appearance can intimidate some people, most are drawn to my looks.

If you help me understand what you want (by working with me a lot), and you treat me with love and respect, I will usually do as you ask of me.

I have courage that any Marine would be proud to claim. If forced into a fight, I am ferocious; in competition I do not like to lose. If a human chooses to become my companion, and treats me with love and kindness I will sacrifice my very life to keep that human from harm. When you fully comprehend the Aurora Borealis; then will you understand me........... I am an Alaskan Malamute

Barrow

Hi Nijah, Barrow is growing. He's a handful and very stubborn. Most times though he's a good pup, following me around now that I'm home for the Summer.

Grandma passed away last week - she loved you so, too. Walk with her for us, OK sweet girl?

Continue with your help of Barrow, he's learning but seemingly so very slow-he has a mind of his own most times. It's then I simply tether him to me and he calms down.

Miss you sweet girl. xx
