here we go, it is time to go again. howling and barking. i think the huskies know what is coming. i think they know they are going for a ride. that sound! jonna s role is similar to that of a sports coach. she has to rotate her squad so her dogs don t get tired, know who plays well with who, and knows who performs best in certain positions. the two in front are the clever ones, leading the pack. into the middle we take the fast ones, and to the back, the strong ones, the power dogs. the tourists arrive and the sled rides begin, as the huskies take them off deep into a winter wonderland but this new season was never a given.
only if we need it for huskies. jonna knew her plan had to work, as if it didn t, the consequences would have been dire. that is something i don t even want to think about, because when the lockdown started, there were people talking about, if there is no people coming, if you don t have enough money to give food for the dogs, take proper care of the dogs, maybe you have to put them down. and that wasn t an option for me. no. not at any time, it was like totally, don t even think about it. it has been well over a year since the adoption scheme started, and with godparents donating anything from 3 to 360 euro, jonna has covered her costs. all the huskies are happy and healthy, ready to do theirjob that they love so much.
that we will start taking godmothers and godfathers for the dogs husky parents! husky parents love it. jonna spread the news of her adopt a husky scheme on social media and through the finnish press. soon potential godparents came forward from all across finland and as far afield as norway, germany, the netherlands and hong kong, to start sponsoring the huskies. for the huskies we have their own bank account, and the money from the godparents go to that account, and i am very, very strict that when we take money out of that bank account, giving, buying food for the dogs, and doing this, if you need to have some payment for the vet or something, so it goes
