Chayo Northern Lights within Arctictribe ' WTD ' WPD ' WPDA'

Maddy was the Queen of the pack. But every now and again the puppy in her made an appearance..a playbow with a 'woo' and she was away! darting from one corner of the house to the far corner of the garden..
nothing got in her way, and she had been known to jump clearly over Elmo!!..I swear her eyes would spin around as she'd loon to and fro.., Maddy was also very very loving and adored people..if you hadn't had a Maddy nuzzle you missed out on something special
She amazed us with her working mentallity, she loved to be in harness, or have a pack on her back, you can see below how much she loved to work! She also took to showing and really showed off in the ring..but I sometimes think she should have been in the Siberian Husky ring as she moved at a pace only a Husky knows!!

Now a poem for Maddy who's name is Northern Lights

North of The Rainbow Bridge

The time comes. A Malamute lifts up its head. There is an untested adventure beyond. Time to go.

Across the Rainbow Bridge is a place for all dogs. A river runs wide and shallow with tennis balls that fly with their own wings; that is the place for a Labrador or Golden to await its master's arrival.

The Malamute is not content here. Northward is its trail....

There are soft pastures for Aussies and Border Collies, with sheep and geese to pen. Agility equipment grows like trees amid Frisbees and flyball.

But the North continues its sure wild call, and the Malamute's journey continues....

Now the air is colder. Now the moon is always full. Now the light is silver and it breaks and shimmers on fields of bright snow. Now there are no roads, no walls, no pens, just endless space to run. This is where Malamutes gather, North of the Rainbow Bridge.

They wait in this beautiful place, happy, but not complete. Suddenly, a howl begins, as one dog senses someone coming, someone very special. All the Malamutes raise their heads and join in the ancient chorus. They dance like moonbeams and sing like winter winds.

There are red ones like dawn streaks, black ones and silver ones like the first strange hour before light. They line up as if in harness and run together, in a scintillating, many-colored streak. The leader of the team guides the others past the fields and river, with racing feet and racing heart. They rush to greet the new arrival at the Rainbow Bridge, where the leader is rejoined with its beloved person, never to be parted again.

The glory of the reunion is celebrated by all the Malamutes dwelling beyond the Bridge, a glimmering, multicolored team leaping and whirling with joy. The light from that scene is what we see on magical evenings in the northernmost parts of this Earth: The Aurora Borealis, the Northern Lights beyond the Rainbow Bridge.

You will always be in our hearts.. we miss you so much but know that one day we'll see you again.. until then you have fun up there.. be free and happy Maddy Moo.....
