snssewell Posted September 12, 2010 Report Share Posted September 12, 2010 Hello everyone My name is Silke and we decided to get a husky a little while ago as companion for our 6 year old, slightly overweight couch potato, chow mix boy Whisper. So we got lil Miss Zihna about 1 month ago. She is 3 1/2 month now and a pretty good puppy most of the time (lol). We live in Clarksville TN where my husband is stationed with the military but currently deployed to Afghanistan. I am originally from Germany but been living in the US for about 6 years now. Since the Husky is such a special breed I decided to sign up with this forum to learn as much as I can about them and also get some general help as I go along with training and raise her to be a well behaved dog lady. Looking forward to reading all your answers to my many questions in the future. ~Silke~ Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mazz Posted September 12, 2010 Report Share Posted September 12, 2010 Hi Silke, welcome to the Pack. You've got your hands full with your husband out of country, and a new puppy. Huskies can be challenging. Just keep your patience, be consistent in training, and make sure your Husky gets exercise and that you spend time with her. Look forward to seeing some pics, and as Rosemary said, if you have any questions please ask. This a very active forum with a broad cross section of members.

Yes it can be a challenge with him gone but she keeps me "BUSY" and the time goes faster . Plus I have a 17 year old daughter and she helps out a lot when she is home. As far as the exercise, I noticed today that if I walk her in the morning the whole day goes a lot smoother. It has been so hot that I would walk them in the evening but I think getting out and about in the AM really pays off. We also have a yard for them to run around during the day but they prefer the living room . And playing is most fun really close to my legs. lol. I have already noticed that Zihna is a bit hard headed compared to when my chow mix was a puppy.....oh boy!!! LOL! But now that she knows what "No" means (most of the time when the selective hearing is turned off) things have gotten easier and my couch and pillows are safe again. Thanks again for the warm welcome. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

snssewell Posted September 13, 2010 Author Report Share Posted September 13, 2010 Hiya, Silke, welcome to the pack So, what does Whisper think of his new house mate?? Do they get along ? Please, please, please post some pics of them both! Hi Val, Well....Whisper was not happy at first. I actually thought that I made a mistake by adding to the family. After exactly 1 week he realized that she is not going anywhere and here to stay so he said: Oh well...since she is here I guess I play with her! but she dear not take my bones from me. lol Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
