I understand your feelings about Huskies. We had Nanuk for 14 years. (a very long time for a Husky) Black and white with those steely blue eyes. We now have Alyeska, his granddaugter. Silver and white with the same blue eyes. Such magnificent animals should never be caged, nor tied down. Fortunately, we have forty acres for our dogs to run on. When Nanuk died, we were in some very serious mourning. Our friends didn't know if they should send flowers or bring a casserole. Smart, loyal, gentle and loving dogs. But they do need to run. And they also need cool climates and a snow bank to curl up on. Downside? They shed alot.

Yes, you understand.

I watched my little puppy live under a lock and chain for years.

We built a fence in order that she could run around the yard.

Huskies I learned are natural born diggers. She always got out under the great new stockade fence, and into trouble.

What to do?

She got out one day, and the car hit her, and I spent a couple thousands bucks for the surgeries needed.

A few years later, I was enjoying her enjoying of the neighborhood street and the traffic, children, and other puppies.

I was looking right at her when she jumped up and yelped, then died.

I got her ashes right there in the other room in an urn.

She was of the most wonderful species of Dog in God's good Creation.

Salute!

LOL, what is it with Freepers & Huskies? I currently have 9 (Duke, Fireball, Taz, Bear, Princess, Foxy, Kira, Lucky & Chinook. My best friend Kody,and sire to over 160 offsprings had to be put down 2 weeks ago due to cancer. He was 12 years old. He was the smartest dog I have ever had the privilege to train. He would sit, beg, speak, roll over,crawl, come on command, play dead, & fight the wife for her side of the bed.
Just placed 13 puppies into new homes since spring and have another one due next month. This litter I will be looking for Kodiak Kid Kody Jr.
And yes these guys are a sleddog team. We run in Oh, Pa, & Mn.
