Name:  Skadi (pronounced Kaw-dee)
Breed:  Alaskan Malamute
Birthdate:  September 17, 2005
Weight at 9 months:  90 Lbs

On November 19, 2005 was the start of my new life with my new two legged mommy and daddy.  They came to pick me up and I was really scared, I hid under the chair.  Mommy picked me up and put me in this thing called a crate for the car ride home.  Mom was so surprised at how heavy I was, 18 Lbs at 8 weeks old.

When we arrived home I was a bit nervous but mommy and daddy played with me and gave me presents.  My first night, I was such a brave girl I didn't cry at all.  My new home was great, I got all this attention just for me.  My own toys, food and love, I didn't have to share with anyone.

Now is probably a good time to explain my name.  My mommy said that I was a goddess and I of course agree, so mom said that I should be named after a goddess.  Mom said that there was a goddess in Norse mythology named Skadi and she was the goddess of winter.  This goddess also had an obsession with feed and I LOVE feet so mom said that settles it your name is Skadi, goddess of winter.

I was very shy at first, so mom said I needed to be socialized.  I started by going to a puppy social.  I had so much fun, I love playing with other doggies.  Because, I was such a good girl, me and my new friend philly got to go on T.V. to show the benefits of socialization.

After a couple of socials and daycare days, mom said that now I need to start school.  I am now in advanced level 1.  School is ok but I'd rather be playing with my friends, but it makes mommy happy so I try my best.

I love to play with toys (well destroy them really) and wrestle with daddy, but my new favorite thing is hiking.  I love to visit new places and smell everything.

Before I end my bio, I just want everyone to know that I LOVE people and doggies.  I truly believe that everyone should love me as much as I love them.

Skadi.
