calvinandmommy Posted June 25, 2013 Report Share Posted June 25, 2013 Ever since Drake left to go back to his owner earlier this month Calvin has been pretty depressed. We have been looking for another husky to add to our family but we haven't been actively looking since I will be out of town for two weeks at the start of July. Yesterday though changed all that. I came across an ad of Craigslist for a one year old male husky that somebody was trying to find a home for. I sent the ad to the husband and he said to go ahead and contact them to see how much they wanted. I finally got a hold of the guy and he wants $150. We are meeting the husky tomorrow at the dog park to see if him and Calvin get along. If they do we will be a two husky family again! I am slightly nervous though. All next week the husband will be on leave for work. But the following week I will be gone for two weeks and the husband will be back at work. I just hope the new boy settles in quickly. But I will be sure to post pictures of the meet tomorrow and I will let everybody know if we get this lovely boy. Here is a picture of him from the ad....his name right now is Lobo...

calvinandmommy Posted June 26, 2013 Author Report Share Posted June 26, 2013 Well it is official! Lobo is now a family member. We met today at lunch. The owner was def just in it for some money. When I gave her the money she took it and said ok thanks and left. Lobo needs a lot of work. He seems to do ok in a kennel, but he is not fixed, and not trained well at all. Oh and he is scared to go upstairs. I guess the owner kept him in the garage from what she was saying. Calvin and Lobo get along but Lobo keeps trying to mess with Calvin's bits and it is slightly annoying. Calvin keeps pushing him away and will yap at him. Hopefully they settle in more with each other soon. If Lobo will sit still long enough I will try to get some more pictures of him lol. And we are figuring out a new name for him...suggestions welcome. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He looks like a 'Kavik' to me. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Emma Posted June 26, 2013 Report Share Posted June 26, 2013 Congratulations. When we brought ice home it took a while for the pair of them to slot into place. He wasn't raised in a loving family and had a few issues to prove it but over time he adjusted and now they're inseparable. Not exactly a good thing but cute in a way. If he's constantly licking Calvibs bits initially it could be that he's 'sampling' him. Dogs use a variety of senses to explore and gain information, he could be using his mouth in order to suss out who Calvin is. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jarn Posted June 26, 2013 Report Share Posted June 26, 2013 It sounds like he's way better off now. Glad he has a good home! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

calvinandmommy Posted June 26, 2013 Author Report Share Posted June 26, 2013 Lmao!!! I really wish he was neutered now!! Hahahaha!!! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jay Posted June 26, 2013 Report Share Posted June 26, 2013 Congrats on the new addition!!! I just brought home a rescue as well a couple of months ago. At first I was worried because he got into a few fights with Nikko, and well Nikko is my baby and a spoiled brat lol. It took him a few weeks to get adjusted but now it's like he has been here the whole time! That's sad though, sounds like they mistreated him Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

What about Tyrion (keeping with the theme)? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
