If there are no dogs in Heaven,
then when I die I want to go where they
Jack was owned by Paul & Shelly Whitney and was training & running on their team of purebred Siberians. Jack died as a result of eating too much pea gravel. Paul categorized Jack at the time of his death as "his best sled dog". Jack was a pure white boy from our Ice Cream Toppings litter.
Nikoma died as a result of being a Siberian. Unfortunately for her, she escaped from her run and did what came naturally. Yes, she killed a neighbour's cat on their front porch. The unfortunate part is that her owners were novices who did not call us from the animal shelter when they were told she had to be "put down" because of her behaviour. We didn't find out until the vet's received her for cremation and recognized our kennel name.
Nala was a wonderful black & white girl from our Ice Cream Toppings litter who started her life with Father Al, a local priest. When Father Al was moved to another parish he was unable to have a pet and was able to find a wonderful home with one of his parishioners. Nala died of cancer just after her third birthday.
Blizzard lived with, and was loved by Geoff & Teri Bertin and their two kids, Josh & Brianna. Of course, there was also his Siberian "sister" Kyra ( Ch Wolfseye's Born in the USA from our US litter) who is pictured on this site a couple of times. Blizzard also shared his family with a Shih Tzu, Spencer, who ran around the outside of the compound teasing as much as he could get away with. Blizzard recently passed over the Rainbow Bridge after a valiant fight with some unknown viruses.
Terra left us in November 2003 after a brief illness. She was a wonderful girl. Always had a "smile" on her face. She loved the show ring and she loved being a Mom. But best of all she loved running with her brother Bacchus in front of a sled. Terra and Bacchus were our very first Siberians. They are both gone but they will never be forgotten. They live on in their children and their grandchildren.
Pepper suffered from a neurological incident, which translates in the human world to something similar to a stroke. He had a number of these episodes, but he was unable to recover from the last one. Pepper left us with dignity on February 16, 2004. He achieved many miles towards his sled dog title (SD) running for Paul Whitney on his purebred team. A few years ago Pepper returned to Wolf's Eye to live out his retirement. He never made it into the show ring, and I never was able to breed him. Our loss, because he was a nice all-round dog. We'll miss 'ya Pep!
Ch Wolfseye's Electra of Keetukka, lovingly referred to as Snowball and unlovingly referred to as the "bitch from hell" has left us. Terry was present to say goodbye to his team mate, as he was the person who named her so aptly after a fight on a 6 mile race. Snowball had lymphoma (cancer in the lymph nodes) and she refused to eat one morning. We knew it was time when she refused to eat! She loved her groceries. She spent her last months as a house dog, crated across from the Sheltie "Dillon" & she licked her lips every time he passed her crate. She would have loved to have "played" with him! Snowball would have been 11 in October. She was the mother of 3 of our litters, 1 a litter of 9. She will be missed.
Dak owned & loved his buddy Mike Menard and spent the majority of his life in Pickle Lake where Mike worked. Dak & Mike moved to Thunder Bay where he tolerated living with some German Shepherds. Dak is the poster dog for our new Siberian Husky club "Amethyst". Mike took this photo of Dak while they were enjoying life in Pickle Lake.
Meeko passed away in her Dad's arms one evening after a walk. Gary & Elaine Budd and family missed her so much they called me to see if we had any puppies. They wanted another Siberian, not to replace Meeko, but to keep them company. I was able to find them a puppy here in Thunder Bay & they are happy again.
Sydney passed away while on a walk with her Dad, Ronald Lund in Duluth, MN. Jonathan, her "brother" found her to be a wonderful companion during his illness. He had a fear of dogs having been bitten as a child, but found Sydney calming & peaceful to be around. The family is devastated to lose her so young.
Rest well, Sydney.
Misqua means "red" in one of the Aboriginal languages. Misqua came to live with us for "a couple of weeks" and stayed 10 years. She was a wonderful mom and enjoyed being in front of a sled. She had just celebrated her 15th birthday when old age caught up with her. Misqua spent her first few years up in Northern Manitoba basically running free. She never made it into the show ring because of a break on her front leg which wasn't treated & didn't heal straight. That didn't stop her from enjoying life. Rest well, old girl. We'll miss you.
Blue was Terry's buddy right from the minute he came off the plane from Montana. So much so, that he was named after Terry's favourite drink Johnny Walker Blue. Hence the photo taken by professional photographer & friend, Teri Bertin. Blue would do almost anything for Terry. Even sit in an old bathtub while Terry enjoys a scotch! He is sadly missed by Cuji, Bruce & Blaze (his house buddies) and his human family, of course!
Windy passed away quietly...just like she lived her life. She starred in a movie called Morning in the Northwest and played the part of a Native camp dog. Windy was our first home-bred Champion and our son, Justin's, puppy. He showed Windy to multi Best Puppy in Shows and to many Junior wins. Windy is sadly missed by Frankie, her kennel-mate and the rest of us at Wolf's Eye Kennels.
Chinook was a beautiful pure white boy owned by Jennifer & Jim Commuzzi of Kammick Kennels here in Thunder Bay. He was shown to his championship by Justin Young. He is sadly missed by the Commuzzi family and the gang at Kammick Kennels.
