Kazan

Kazan had his first bath today. He needed it! Contrary to my expectations, he didn't enjoy it. Perhaps it was the temperature of the well-water coming out of the hose!
Sorry, Kazan!



I love the diversity of colours and textures in Kazan's fur.

Kazan's front legs still aren't quite right, but according to our new vet, there has been some improvement rather than any deterioration - so we still hope to avoid an operation.



At nearly 7 months of age, Kazan weighed in yesterday at 65 pounds, half the weight we expect him to reach.
Here you see him doing his pug imitation.



"He was called Kazan, the Wolf Dog, because he was a giant among his kind and as fearless, even, as the men who drove him through the perils of a frozen world" (James Oliver Curwood).
My favourite childhood book.
