Out and About with your Dog

Lakota James

We got Lakota and his sister Yahzi from the same litter when they were 8 weeks old. They were my first dogs that were my own as an adult. We did everything with them and took them everywhere we went. They were inseparable. The very few times they were separated they each would go crazy.

Last year, during the last week of December, they both got loose when we were at my brother's house (who has their brother). We searched for them all night with the temps being below 0.

Unfortunately, Lakota was hit by a car about 1/2 hour before we found him on the side of the road. It was one of the hardest things that I've had to go through to see his life cut short and to watch Yahzi go on without her big brother. He was my "perfect husky". There was something about Lakota that made him stand out.

I took this picture in the field behind my house during a winter snow storm when he was 3 years old. Whenever there was a snow storm I would go out with Lakota and Yahzi to the field and let them run and play. I always took my camera and took tons of pictures. This picture is my favorite and I had it blown up professionally and hung above my fireplace.

Hi Kim, so sorry to hear of your loss. It's every dog owners' worst nightmare. It sounds like you're somehow coming through it and celebrating Lakota's life. He's gorgeous.
