tjhinch Posted July 22, 2010 Report Share Posted July 22, 2010 Heya everyone My name is Tracy, I live in East Anglai UK, I am married with 2 children and now have the wonderful addition of 2 beautiful Siberian Huskies. I have allways had dobermans in the past but have always lusted after the husky breed, thinking i could never afford to get one Star my Doberman was taken very ill last November and after a large operation was left very healthy, she was allways a nervous dog (rescue dog) so we thought we would get a pup in the hope she would get a new lease of life. We visited and picked Kaiser early December 2009 and were due to collect him on 12th Jan 2010 but in the New year i found a lump on her, this lump doubled in size in 24 hours, suffice to say got her straight to the vet, it was cancer, growing into her muscle, they could operate but would not be able to get it all so we decided to go with pain med and keep her comfortable untill the time comes. So I then spoke to the breeder knowing huskies were not too good on their own and she told me she still had his sister, so yes we decided to get two. Went to pick them up, 4 hour drive in the horrible January weather. Got Kaiser and Mishka home and introduced them to Star, it was sooooo lovely, Star decided they were her babies and for the next two weeks despite her illness, mothered them beautifully, unfortunately the pain got too much for the meds so we made the decision as soon as she had no quality of life, that was an odd day we took Star to the vets held her whilst she went, sobbed our hearts out and then home to 2 beautiful puppies, an odd stack of emotions. Kaiser and Mishka are now 8 months old and i really do think that the benefited from the short time they had with their adopted mummy. We have been training Kaiser and Mishka with the commands for mushing and have decided that as my hubby is off work we are going to start training them to pull, so that will be fun, so any advice any of you have will be greatly appreciated. Kaiser and Mishka are now the big loves of our lives, even my daughter who has been very indifferent to any of our pets is besotted with them, they are beautiful, loving and have fantastic personalities, i couldnt ask for more, oh appart from maybe another eight huskies but then my husband may divorce me lol. Anyway sorry for the war and piece story of how i got my babies, I would have liked to post a couple of pics but i tried and they were just HUGE, so i will have to learn how to do that hehe anyway, nice to meet you all, thank you for the personal welcomes and i look forward to chatting with you all Tracy, Kaiser and Mishka xxx Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ShantelXXXHBK Posted July 22, 2010 Report Share Posted July 22, 2010 Welcombe to the pack!!!!! We had a shetland collie that had a cancerus tummer in his stomach. We ended up letting him go. its really hard. but now we got 2 huskies lol Me and my mum do a bit of mushing with ours it really fun. we taught willow left and right by throwing a toy in either direction and when she went for it we said left or right. It works pretty well. Luv Shantel XXX Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Val (Zebedee) Posted July 22, 2010 Report Share Posted July 22, 2010 Hiya, Tracy, Kaiser and Mishka, welcome to the pack Sos orry to hear about Star, but I bet she had a wonderful last few months with the 2 furballs to mother, RIP, little girl. We have a Rainbow Bridge section, please feel free to post Star's pic & some memories of her I have a Myshka & Sarah (admin) has a Kaiser, when they get together, the madness starts! Hope your two are better behaved:lol: Look forward to chatting more with you around here By the way, they are still a little young for pulling right now, please wait till they are over 12 months, they are still developing now & damage may be caused, carry on with the mushing terms so when they're ready, they'll know the commands without a second thought Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
