00:00Hiya, I'm Fern. And I'm Rory.
00:05Welcome to the Cairngorm Mountains in the Highlands of Scotland for the My Pet and Me
00:09Winter Special. I love winter, everything looks so different.
00:13The thing I love most about winter is when it snows and there is plenty of it all the
00:17way up here. And it's great to be able to get nice and cosy with hats, gloves and scarves
00:22in the cold weather. I've been thinking, how about we both go visit a pet today as a special
00:26winter treat. Oh, that sounds awesome, Fern.
00:29The ones I have in mind don't need hats or scarves because they have lots of lovely fur
00:33to keep them nice and warm. Would you like to come with us?
00:36Come on.
00:38My pets, my pets and me. My pets, my pets and me.
00:44Down every street are pets to meet. Some big, some small, some skinny, some furry.
00:52Some keep very still, some are always in a hurry. Some have four paws, some have sharp claws.
01:00Some bark, some move, some squawk, some cock-a-doodle-doo.
01:07My pets, my pets and me. My pets, my pets and me.
01:13My pets, my pets and me. My pets, my pets and me.
01:19We're at Lough Morlach in the Highlands of Scotland to meet Ella and her very special dog.
01:26This is so exciting. Let's go.
01:35Hiya. You must be Ella. Lovely to meet you.
01:39Hi, Fern. Hi, Rory.
01:41And you must be Dad. Hi.
01:43Hi, guys.
01:44Hiya. And who are these guys?
01:46Spirit and Bracken.
01:48Oh, they are gorgeous. What a lovely wee puppy.
01:51And look at Spirit. Amazing eyes. What sort of dog is he?
01:55Siberian Husky.
01:56Oh, I thought so. I have never met a husky before.
01:59He is beautiful, but he is not your only Siberian Husky, is he?
02:03No.
02:04How many do you have?
02:05Twelve.
02:06Twelve?
02:07Wow.
02:08Whoa. Can't wait to meet them all.
02:11Siberian Husky dogs originally come from an area in Russia called Siberia,
02:16which is a long way from the Scottish Highlands.
02:18Siberia is known for having very cold winters and wet summers,
02:22so husky dogs are well suited to that climate.
02:25What is the best thing about having Siberian Huskies?
02:28Cuddling them.
02:30Oh, that's lovely, isn't it?
02:33Ella, lots of people have got dogs, but not everyone has loads like you.
02:37Why do you have so many?
02:39Because we run them.
02:41Oh, you run them. You race them on sleds?
02:43Yeah.
02:44That's exciting.
02:45Sled dogs are dogs that are bred to pull sleds or sleighs,
02:48usually in Arctic areas that have lots of snow.
02:51They would move important supplies from place to place,
02:54especially in areas that are hard to reach. Very clever.
02:58So, what do you do if there is no snow?
03:00Because a sled doesn't work with no snow.
03:03We use rigs.
03:05Rigs?
03:06So, a rig is like a sled but with wheels?
03:09Yes.
03:10They sound like lots of fun.
03:12Do you think we'll get to have a go on one later?
03:14Yes.
03:15Oh, man. I'm really looking forward to that,
03:18but first I think we should go and meet the other huskies.
03:20Before we go and meet the rest of the gang,
03:22can you give us some fun facts about huskies?
03:24Of course. I'd love to.
03:25Let's go.
03:28One.
03:29Siberian husky dogs are powerful, athletic, energetic
03:34and have great stamina.
03:37Two.
03:38They range from black to pure white in colour,
03:41with coloured markings on the body that include reds and copper.
03:46Three.
03:47Huskies also have almond-shaped eyes,
03:50and this can help them to keep the snow out when they squint.
03:53Four.

07:45Yeah?!
07:46This looks yummy!
07:47Should I fill up the water and you can fill up the food?
07:58Yeah.
07:59Foods.
08:01Your huskies eat a lot, Ela?
08:03Yeah.
08:04Do they drink a lot of water?
08:05Yeah.
08:06A lot of exercise they need it.
08:09Excellent.
08:10Should we get the hungry huskies over here?
08:13Let's do it.
08:14Come on, Huskies! Come on!
08:16Come on!
08:18Ooh!
08:20Yum.
08:22Come on, Thor!
08:24Looks good.
08:26What do we need to do now, then?
08:28Wash our hands.
08:30Yes, come on.
08:32Hi, Ducky.
08:34MUSIC
08:36Woo!
08:38ALL SHOUT
08:40Wash your hands!
08:42Wash your hands!
08:44Ella, it has been so lovely
08:46spending time with you and your Huskies.
08:48I can't wait to go for a ride with them later.
08:50Yeah. How do you think Fran and I will do in the rigs?
08:52Great. I think you'll really love it.
08:54I like the sound of that. I'm really excited.
08:56I hope the Huskies are, too.
08:58Yeah, but if your Huskies could do anything,
09:00Ella, what do you think they would do?
09:02MUSIC
09:04If my Huskies could do anything,
09:06they would go
09:08on an adventure
09:10to Penguin Island.
09:12They'd go ice skating
09:14across the frozen lake.
09:16When they were finished,
09:18they would make some snow angels
09:20and then they would have
09:22some hot chocolate
09:24around the campfire.
09:26Yum, yum, yum.
09:28MUSIC
09:30This will be the first time
09:32on a sled for Rory and me
09:34and we are so excited.
09:36Yeah, but you've been sledding since you were very young
09:38so you're quite an expert, aren't you?
09:40Yeah. What's your favourite thing about it?
09:42Having the Huskies run.
09:44Oh, and do you like going fast?
09:46Yeah. That sounds exciting.
09:48And who's taking you out?
09:50Spirit and Luna.
09:52Are you going to show us how it's done?
09:54Yeah. Right, off you go.
09:56There we go. Come on.
09:58Wow!
10:00Go!
10:02Go on, Huskies. On you go.
10:04Look at them go.
10:06Yeah.
10:08Even though Ella's been dog sledding
10:10for a long time, it's still
10:12very important to have an adult watching you
10:14and to use dogs that are trained for this activity.
10:16MUSIC
10:24Whoa!
10:26Good work.
10:28Ella, that was amazing.
10:30Do you think it's time for Fern and I to have a shot? Yeah.
10:32Right, Fern, helmets on. Definitely.
10:34Time to put helmets on.
10:36I have Maya and Thor here to help me out.
10:38Who do you have, Rory? I've got Timber,
10:40my old friend, and Inca.
10:42Now, what do we have to do?
10:44Hike on is for go.
10:46OK. Hike on is go.
10:48And whoa is for stopping.
10:50Whoa. Whoa for stop.
10:52And do the brakes if they're going too fast.
10:54Say whoa and squeeze the brakes.
10:56That sounds good. What's left?
10:58Haw. Haw's left.
11:00And what's right?
11:02OK. I think I've got all that, Fern.
11:04Have you got that? I think so, yeah.
11:06Are you ready, doggies?
11:08OK, Ella, you show us how it's done.
11:10Yeah, you go first.
11:12Whoa! Whoa!
11:14Whoo!
11:16Whoa!
11:18Right, my turn. Hike on.
11:20Whoa!
11:22Whoa!
11:24LAUGHTER
11:26MUSIC

12:16Oh, thank you very much.
12:18Mmm, thanks.
12:20I think Maya and Thor did an awesome job.

12:24Yeah, that was incredible fun.
12:26Thank you very much, Ella.
12:29My Pet and Me!
12:37That was brilliant fun.
12:39And now all your friends have joined us round the fire.
12:41Hi, guys. Hi.
12:43And we have these yummy hot chocolates too.
12:45And marshmallows.
12:47Mmm.
12:49Can't forget the marshmallows and some water for these thirsty dogs as well.
12:52If you want a pet to play with,
12:54go onto the CBeebies website and play the My Pet and Me game.
12:57Thank you so much for introducing us to your huskies, Ella.
13:00And teaching us how to sleigh ride. It was so much fun.
13:03Thank you for coming.
13:05Thank you. What a wonderful wintry time we've had.
