Colonel_Fluff Posted April 3, 2012 Report Share Posted April 3, 2012 Hi everyone; just wanted to introduce myself (Kevin) and my dog, Yuri (aka Colonel Fluff, THE FLUFF, Lord Fluffybutt, fluffball, etc...he has many nicknames!) Yuri is a very good dog. I got him from a shelter and he was already chipped and fixed, so he cost me a whole $20, which is the best $20 I've spent in my life so far. He has one blue eye and one brown eye, which was exactly what made me fall in love with him (I had gone to the shelter knowing he was there thanks to petfinder.com and I already wanted a husky; the eyes were just a bonus.) I honestly don't know exactly how old he is; the shelter put him at 6 years old but my vet said he's likely 2 or 3; is there a definite way to tell? Anyway...onward with PICS!!!

BingBlaze n Skyla Posted April 3, 2012 Report Share Posted April 3, 2012 Welcome :-) the only way 2 tell an age usually by the vet having a look at a dogs teeth , tho u can never be sure as it's just a guess n if a dogs not been very well looked after it might b young but might have bad teeth so you wouldn't b sure Hes lovely my boy is bi-eyed 2 :-) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rosemary Posted April 3, 2012 Report Share Posted April 3, 2012 Hi, to the forum. Your Yuri is gorgeous and looks happy and content in his new home. It breaks my heart that so many of these maginificent animals end up in shelters ........... but then someone like you comes along and saves him - he is a lucky boy Thank you for rescuing him Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mydiamond Posted April 3, 2012 Report Share Posted April 3, 2012 wow what a massive toy bone he has there LOL welcome to the pack, thumbs up for rescuing one way to make a dog's age estimation is by having the vet to examine their teeth. I don't know about the other methods, but there must be more than that Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Andy Posted April 3, 2012 Report Share Posted April 3, 2012 Welcome. You'll probably find that Yuri does strange things for a dog. But. . . . They are quite normal for a Husky.

Colonel_Fluff Posted April 3, 2012 Author Report Share Posted April 3, 2012 thanks for all the replies everyone! i should have mentioned, i've had Yuri for over 2 years now, but i just found this website. if you think the rawhide in his pic is big, you should see the one he has now! i used to get him the small $3 rawhides from wal mart but he just destroyed them almost overnight. he has to actually plan out a strategy on how to destroy these monstrosities, so they last a lot longer lol. he's currently curled up in a little fulffball by my feet. i have some hilarious stories to tell about his shenanigans, maybe i'll post them up...but he's my puppy and since i don't have kids he's pretty much my son and i love him so!

SA DA KA Posted April 3, 2012 Report Share Posted April 3, 2012 Hi Kevin, We want to first of all thank you for doing a rescue. That is very noble of you. As we always say, everyone loves a puppy, but there are so many dogs who need that Fur-ever home and it looks like Yuri got his wish. You will not find a friendlier bunch of Husky dog loving group. You ask the questions and many of us will give you ALL kind of answers. Enjoy this wonderful Forum. Husky Lovers in Vermont:doglick: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
