  1. When we got Mukki the foster Mom gave me some 'ear wash' and told me to wash his ears a few times a day because he had an infection.... It made no sense to me and I immediately took him to the vet. While his foster mom meant well, what she had done was keep his ears moist and a yeast infection took hold... it was one of the worst the vet had seen. Our vet prescribed meds and had us put our dogs on Revolution, which controls ear mites and is friggin expensive! It took a while to get Mukki cured but it has never returned.
  2. That would make a nice pillow for the sofa or a doormat at the front door or the back page of a party invitation... I had a very unpleasant neighbor visit once and she was very upset at the dogs, one was licking her ankles, one was licking her fingers and just as she started to relax Mukki came up behind her and licked the back of her neck, I could see the drool dripping down into her shirt LOL I smiled and said "They like you!" I am not normally that mean but she was telling me about my nearest neighbor who helped rescue "nice" dogs -little shelties... she actually glared at mine when she said 'nice'...

    real age...

    Okay according to Facebook, Jesus thinks I'm boring and my test results kind of confirm that :-) Biological Age: 52 Real Age: 32.8 Average Life Expectancy: 76 Your Life Expectancy: 95.2 You can expect to live approximately another 15800 more days. This actually sucks, the women in my family get mean and bitter after 90... but none have huskies, so that might save me :-)
  11. Tala and Mukki were reluctant to use the wading pool, I actually would stand in it during playtime (felt good, not a sacrifice LOL) after a long while Mukki got in and a long time later Tala joined him. Quinn took to it like a duck to water, LuLu just followed Quinn in.
  12. snow noses LOL......................
  13. Sarah is right, the fluffy undercoat is actually protective; the dark longer guard hairs absorb the heat and the fluff keeps the heat away from the body! They can actually over-heat if shaved and get skin cancers. Dog groomers are notorious for shaving huskies, you have to be very insistent they must not shave them -some are famous for ignoring you though. Petsmart has a few class action suits growing against them for this. That doesn't mean they can go mushing and romping in the summer, keep activity low. My dogs love their swimming pool, a cool dark hole they've dug and air conditioning vents. I take walks in the early morning hours and bring lots of water, unless we are walking near a stream. They sleep a lot and act like they are lounging lions on the Serengeti LOL so, no jogging on hot days with huskies or shaving! make sure they have lots of water! they may only stand in the water or lie in it -they often do not like to swim just the feet and belly -some will swim though. Quinn likes to stick his head under water and blow bubbles! We have a screen room with ceiling fans they love to lie in even when it's too hot for me! Tala lies belly up under the fans. Each dog has a favorite air conditioning vent No unoccupied cars, even with windows cracked open it will still get too hot! So, basically, have lots of water available, shade and either ceiling fans or air conditioning. Here in North Carolina they hibernate for the summer LOL
  14. looks like a great day! thanks for sharing
