There’s an ancient tradition int’ Arctic
That dates back a long time ago
That of laggin’ up canines in ‘arness
And drivin’ em out over’t snow.
Well me and ar Mark said we’d like one
Dog sleddin’ looked like so much fun
So we drove down to Sherwood one Sunday
To watch the Siberians run.
Well you’ve never ‘eard such a commotion
All yelping and jumping abart,
The owners were ‘olding and skwarkin’
Just tryin’ to line up at the start!
We ‘ad such a good time a t’ rally,
We’d planned ar’ Siberian pack
But then summat moved across’t thicket
From then on we never looked back!
“By ‘eck luv what’s that behind t’ bramble?”
Mark said in ‘is best turn of phrase,
“It looks like a bloody gret Wolef!!”
Gobsmacked - I just met ‘is gaze!!
It were clipped to the belt of this woman
“What is it? I screeched like a crow
“Hang on ‘ere luv, I’ll go and Alaska”
And then I’ll come back and you’ll know!
So off went ‘ar Mark like a gooden
To check ‘art that gret wolflike Beaut’
‘Ee were back in a flash wi’ the info
‘Its Alaskan and called Malamute!’
All the way ‘ome we were silent
Ar brains were like whirligig cogs
Just thinkin’ and plannin’ and ‘opin’
That we could ‘ave one o those dogs
We searched and we read and we questioned
And ripped up the carpets we’d layed
We fenced and we tiled and we painted
We saved and we ‘oped and we prayed!
Then one night I ‘opened an-e-mail
Invitin’ us on to ‘Icebay’
And that’s ‘ow we came across’t forum
And ‘ow Mel and Joan showed us the way.
It were freezin’ and middle o winter
When off down to Chayo we flew
To meet Sue and the beautiful Perkle
And Missy and Scout and Blue too.
The white covered landscape were magic
We played wi’ alt’ dogs out in’t snow
Sue told us all about Mallys
And ‘ow she gets Blue groomed to show.
We drove ‘ome that night feelin’ special
We couldn’t believe it were true
In five months we would ‘ave a puppy
From Missy, Scout, Perkle or Blue!
By ‘eck the next months were a lifetime
The waitin’ were driving us mad
I spent loadsa time on Mel’s forum
I were getting’ quite geeky and sad.
It were ten years since we got together
We were talkin’ one mornin’ in bed
Well we can’t ‘ave a pup out of wedlock
So we went off t’ lakes and got wed!
Then suddenly t waitin’ were over
Sue said we could go and get’ pup
We shot down to Chayo in no time
To pick ‘ar new fur bundle up!
Its magic since Luca join’t family
She’s an angel from heaven and hell
An exceptional Malamute lady
Ar’ wonderful Chayo Blue Belle.
