Thanks so much for all of your comments. Honestly, i'm still not sure of keeping him, it's such a difficult decision I'm still not sure i'm enough for him - i certainly don't have the sheer amount of time he needs - the curtains he's pulled down, the carpet he's shredded and the amount of my daughter's underwear he's stolen are testament to that!! I am still trying to find him a home, but am refusing to put him in a shelter or other such place. The supposed Husky rescue places have been no help at all, since i don't have KC papers for him - how is it a rescue centre if they're so elitist?? What if the guy was in real trouble and desperately needed a home??? (Sorry for ranting!) I have to make the decision soon though - at the moment, he's sleeping in the bathroom at nights, as it's the only room he can do no damage in, and that's just not fair to him. I'm at the point where i need to make some investments in him - a cage, proper collar etc. I know you're all saying i should keep him, and i really really appreciate your faith in me, but i work long hours, travel a lot with work, and honestly, just hadn't planned a dog in our lives. And, like i said, although he's undoubtedly better off now than he was, i still don't feel i'm doing right by him. This is so hard.

That's awful Hope Grey is ok, and that Reece wasn't too traumatised by it all x

Hi Steve, we're in Mansfield

Hi all, thanks for your kind words, and warm welcome This is the first pic i've taken of Archie - he was smiling nicely for the camera, then got distracted by something shiny lol

Oh.. then it's already too late... i adore the guy :heart: My opinion is, he's already had a crappy start, i'd prefer it to get better for him from here. Like i said, i want to do him justice.

Hiya 10 days ago, i rescued a siberian husky that had been chained up in a garage for at least the last 3 months... Having not had a dog for at least the last ten years (And NEVER a husky!), this is all very new to me, to say the least!! Archie is 13 months old, just beautiful, very playful and very boisterous! I don't believe he was ever walked before. At this point, i'm not sure i should keep him - not because i don't want to, but because i dont want to let him down - i want to be a good owner for him, and do him the justice he deserves. I've spent the last 10 days doing lots of research into these crazy animals, lots of which has been on this site, so i just wanted to say hi, and thanks so much for the advice and insight (Even if you weren't aware you were giving it to me!) If i do decide that i'm good enough for him (he's certainly better off at this point than he was 10 days ago!!) then i shall be asking for more advice! In the meantime, i shall probably just lurk a lot ;o) Nikki xxx
