We are extremely saddened to announce the sudden and unexpected death of our Siberian Husky, Faraday. Faraday was quirky dog, like any Siberian husky, and the daughter of Sarah’s first sled dog, Chena. She was a beautiful dog and guests visiting our kennel often commented on her gorgeous coat and almond eyes.
Faraday was an extremely happy dog who enjoyed the simple pleasures of a dogs life: a bowl of kibble and a good scratch on the head. She had a very distinct howl that would yodel out when it was time to eat and would smack her two front feet on the ground repeatedly in excitement.
As more of a pet, she enjoyed some time in our house though she often preferred to be outdoors. When she came inside, she did so very quietly and tried to be as stealthy as possible. Once, when Travis and I had left for an evening out with friends we came back to Faraday sitting on our kitchen floor, paws crossed, looking quite vexed at us for having been out so late. She greeted us with a wagging tail and her signature feet stomp.
Faraday was an exceptionally fun and entertaining dog. I am so heartbroken by our loss and the fact that neither Travis or I were home. Travis was training on the Denali Highway and I was at home, visiting family for the holidays.
Faraday also loved our good friend Ben and his dog Moe, who originally came from our kennel, and was always excited when they came to visit. She thought Moe was “hot stuff” and loved following him around. When she was tied up, she also enjoyed sleeping at the base of the pine trees in our yard and accompanying us on dog runs. She once took herself on a 40 mile jaunt with the team, getting so tired at the end as she hadn’t been in training that she finally allowed Travis to carry her. In the fall, on shorter runs she enjoyed running in front of the lead dogs and making them chase her. 
We love you Faraday. May you find snowy fields to run on and an unending supply of kibble. Rest in peace, dear friend.
