vinny1275 Posted May 25, 2010 Report Share Posted May 25, 2010 Hi, I saw a reference to the site in the Oxford Mail the other night (mother in law saved it for us), as we've just rehomed a Husky called Mickey from the Blue Cross. He's 11 months old, and I'm rapidly getting fit trying to keep him exercised! Tonight I think we'll try him with a bike, so he can get a bit more of a run, than if we just go out on our feet.... We've had a few tribulations with him so far - he didn't like getting in the car, he liked digging in the garden, he's claimed the sofa for himself, and he doesn't like letting us out of the front door - we've fixed the car thing now (which is just as well, as I was going to end up with a bad back lifting him in... ) and he knows now he's not allowed to dig, so that's calmed down a bit. We're able to get out of the door now with suitable bribery (a kong or marrowbone with some spam and kibble mushed into it), just the sofa to crack now! I'm taking him our for a run every morning at the moment and thinking of cani-x when he's got out of the habit of stopping for sniffs every hundred yards - we're doing 14 minute miles at the moment! Right, need to get back to work now.... Cheers Vince Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Spider_Crazy_Removed Posted May 25, 2010 Report Share Posted May 25, 2010 Welcome Vince to the forum. You will find lots of info about huskies here and loads of help with getting the sofa cracked, We have a 13week old pup and today he mastered the stairs so we need a baby gate to stop that. With Max I find you stop every inch and if he deems it good inuf to sniff he will lay down to sniff it lol. Look forward to pics of Mickey and reading lots of posts Take care and dont work too hard Peter Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They are a wonderful breed, never a dull moment with them around, he will keep you entertained - and fit enough to run a marathon. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Andy Posted May 25, 2010 Report Share Posted May 25, 2010 Hey, Vince Welcome to the pack. Unfortunately that was my ugly mug in the paper lol. BUT DON'T LET THAT PUT YOU OFF Yeah, Mickey sounds a typical Husky. Sounds like you are tackling him nicely Any questions or problems, do a search on previous posts you may well find the answer already there. If not then start a new thread in the relevant section and we'll all jump in with our 2 pence worth. AAAANNNNDDDD . . . we expect to see you next month (when we set a date) at the next Oxford meet. as you're just down the road. Just had a look in the members section and there are 5 other members in the swindon area. maybe you know some of them. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

vinny1275 Posted May 25, 2010 Author Report Share Posted May 25, 2010 Thanks for the welcomes all, Andy, hopefully Claire (my wife) and I will be able to make the next Oxford meet (we might bring Mickey as well if he's good.. ) I've uploaded some pictures into my gallery - we're not sure if he's 100% Husky, as his face is quite wide, not sure what else he might be - Akita maybe? He does like sleeping on his back though - first time he did that we thought it was really odd! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

kellystewart Posted May 25, 2010 Report Share Posted May 25, 2010 Hahah I just commented on his pic's before seeing this post...yeah he is defin part Akita...his bone shape is more Akita than husky and by looking at his size id' say he is a big stocky boy too.
