How the Colonel Taz
thread got started -- the inside story:
Taz is a two year old high spirited
Siberian Husky who came from a local shelter and is being fostered by Scott and Robbi
Ringwelski until a suitable home can be found for him. Scott provided Sibernetters with a
lot of belly laughs over Taz's adventures settling in with the Ringwelski family.
In early summer another Sibernet family,
Ron and Kirby and the Singing
Beasties of Husky Howllow (15 minutes east of Winnipeg, Canada) who are controlled by
Daytro, Bailey, and Santana, posted a couple of messages referring to the Siberian's
uncanny ability to read minds and possibly influence human behavior and foil beanies were
suggested as a way of "foiling" this ability. Scott responded with a spoof where
Taz took over his thoughts. In another message, Taz himself, responded in an e-mail to the
list. Then the Colonel/military thread began and it grew from there. Sibernetters jumped
in with creative glee and soon Siberians from as far away as Australia and New Zealand
were offering their services in the Great Husky Horde Conspiracy. At one point Scott
actually wrote to Ron about stopping the thread after three or four postings and Ron
agreed. But Sibernetters had other ideas and the thread continues offering humorous breaks
between more serious posts.

UPDATE ON THE COLONEL
We are happy to report that
since this website went up Taz has found a permanent home with Scott. After several
attempts to rehome him, Scott finally realized that Taz had chosen HIM as the pack leader.
