This is the face of accomplishment. Notice the husky's mask is a little more dustier than usual. Her white areas now blackened in soot. We have a few redwood tree stumps on our property that were destroyed by a forest fire over 100 years ago. Burned tree stumps must make a comfortable home for vermin because she's come in looking like this a number of times this week.
It's hard to hide the disappointment in my voice as I sit her in the hallway to clean the soot off her face.
"Mom, what's with the third degree? Can't you see I'm working hard?"
But Mr. Wild Dingo feels strongly about the dog training in this house and intervenes:
"What a good girl Juno! You are such a fine hunter and gardener!"
"I'm so glad you see eye-to-eye with me Pop!"
Sigh. Praising the Sibe for her mischief. Now a fait accompli.
MWD likes bad girls. We knew that.

MWD is such a suck up..That's how he tries to get some lovin from Miss Juno? Pretty soon she'll be rolling over for belly rubs. It's all a ploy on MWD's part.
Psst. My Mr. Hubby says Good Job MWD. Whatever it takes to get the girl to love you more.
Mango Momma knows her stuff 😉

At some point with Sibes, you just learn to praise the inevitable.
P.S. - Mango Momma does have a point.
I don't think sibes have a guilty or apologetic face. She's like, "Thank doG, someone appreciates my hard work! It just spurs me to work harder at it."
Hey Juno! I killed a bird yesterday!!

A girl after my own heart, I love a dirty Sibe! We working breeds do get dirty at work from time to time 🙂
Mango Momma knows some things! LOL
My dogs killed a mylar balloon that randomly floated in the yard yesterday... better than that possum they got a few months ago...

High praise for MWD, he recognizes talent and hard work when he sees it.
...and what Mango Mama said, too ; )
