Ace Mischief is my- middle name     Barked: Tue Jun 18, '13 6:30pm PST  You shouldn't get any breed people have commented about here, unless you find yourself going "but... but.... but..." to all the negatives Love the one about how you shouldn't get a mix unless you're prepared to constantly doubt yourself on what you think the mix is I have that issue with my mix, who I think is husky and Belgian Malinois, but could be Aussie and Akita for all I know Huskies... Yes, they shed. Yes, they draw attention -- especially the reds! Yes, they dig. Yes they're escape artists... but... but... Once you fall in love with one, you will get more.... so you shouldn't get a husky if you want an "only dog"...they're addictive, like potato chips And I'll add, you shouldn't get a dog from a breeder without at least LOOKING at a rescue, at Petfinder, etc. Just look. If you still want to go through a breeder, okay, but just look ... You shouldn't get a dog from a breeder unless you've done all your research about what makes for a reputable ethical breeder. You shouldn't get a dog from a puppy store if... EVER!! my posts | my page | msg me | my family's posts | gift me | become pals [notify]

Sometimes sweep in between. Dogs not allowed in master bedroom, hubby's office, or the media room. They hang in the family room, kitchen, backyard. Not allowed on thee furniture, and for stubborn dogs, they learned this rule quick. my posts | my page | msg me | my family's posts | gift me | become pals [notify]

Senior Dogs > What is wrong with people?

Ace Mischief is my- middle name     Barked: Sun Jun 16, '13 1:03pm PST  I'm not a violent person, but if some dumbbutt said something about my dog like that, I might need to slap him/her. My sympathies - thank you for caring for Sabi and doing what it best for her. Ignore the idiots. my posts | my page | msg me | my family's posts | gift me | become pals [notify]

Dog Health > Eye Flushing

Ace Mischief is my- middle name     Barked: Mon May 20, '13 1:25pm PST  That's good to know, since I assumed anything that was okay to put in my eyes would be okay to put in my dogs' eyes a while back I saved myself a vet visit. One had a red eye on a weekend, I got my saline out, and he was fine by Monday. my posts | my page | msg me | my family's posts | gift me | become pals [notify]

Rescue, Adoption & Happy Endings > Rescue groups too strict!

Ace Mischief is my- middle name     Barked: Wed May 1, '13 5:08pm PST  My daughter was only 18 when she got her dog from a shelter, no problem with being able to sign a contract for him. Quite likely wouldn't have been approved by a husky rescue though, at that age and living in an apartment. I'm glad she went to the pound, Kale is a love my posts | my page | msg me | my family's posts | gift me | become pals [notify]

Ace Mischief is my- middle name     Barked: Wed Apr 24, '13 6:23pm PST  Ace is another that pulls and lunges to try to meet other dogs when she's on leash, but it's all friendly. I'm pretty confident she was well socialized during the three months she spent with a rescue, between 4-7 months old. Once we've run across the same pup a few times, she's much calmer seeing them down the road or across the street on-leash. It's the people that cross the street and she never gets to sniff the other dog that she continues to act up when she sees them. my posts | my page | msg me | my family's posts | gift me | become pals [notify]

Behavior & Training > how to stop pulling on leash

Ace Mischief is my- middle name     Barked: Wed Apr 24, '13 6:10pm PST  I bought what I think was called an Easy Walk harness. It has a D ring in the front of the neck. It is surprisingly effective on Ace, and somewhat good for Teeko - he still pulls, just not as persistently. I only have one, and Ace seems to have better manners with a regular harness now. She's not perfect by a long shot (SQUIRREL! BICYCLE! DOG!) but isn't regularly pulling as a habit. Teeko wears it most of the time now, and does fairly well on it. I don't really aim for perfection though. As long as the three don't yank my arms out of the sockets. my posts | my page | msg me | my family's posts | gift me | become pals [notify]

Small Dogs > Opinions on dog parks...

Ace Mischief is my- middle name     Barked: Tue Apr 16, '13 1:41pm PST  Despite one scary fight, I still take my dogs to the dog park. I really do prefer that people keep their small dogs on the small dog side, but mine are okay with them, I just worry about another big dog that isn't. I can walk my dogs all day, and it does nothing to release their energy like a good run and chase session at the dog park does. Huskies gotta run. 2-3 visits a week about does it. But the hours I go, there are rarely more than a handful of other people there, and sometimes we have the place to ourselves. I feel differently about trying to go on the weekend. my posts | my page | msg me | my family's posts | gift me | become pals [notify]

Dog Health > Shaking as if shes wet

Ace Mischief is my- middle name     Barked: Sun Apr 14, '13 6:58am PST  Or maybe she wants her own YouTube take on the Harlem Shake and wishes she could tell you "Catch this on video already!!!" my posts | my page | msg me | my family's posts | gift me | become pals [notify]

Ace Mischief is my- middle name     Barked: Sun Apr 14, '13 6:54am PST  The contents didn't seem oily or infected, it was more of a watery blood. That's not what I would think of when I think of a sebaceous cyst. my posts | my page | msg me | my family's posts | gift me | become pals [notify]
