But it makes my back hurt just looking at her.

Week 6. I think she knows she’s home now. At least I hope so! Waiting on our embark kit - has anyone had luck finding the breeder or littermates through those tests? It’s not a huge deal but we’d just love to know more about her. Based on a few circumstances we think her owner may have been an ICE abduction - and if so I’d love to be able to let them know she’s safe and loved.

I've never been so wrecked by the loss of an animal. Bruno was our spirit animal. He went everywhere with us. I like to say that he rescued us during Covid. Adopted him at 4 years old and literally 3 days later, Ohio locked down for 6 weeks.

Talk about bonding. Never once whined about his former owner.

He peed only once in the house... On our live Xmas tree. 🤣

He would army crawl across each family member demanding pets from each one, but you could only have 10 minutes. Then he'd have to move to the next person.

We drove on vacations instead of flying, and rented a mini van so he would be comfortable.

He was truly one of a kind and may have wrecked me from ever getting another animal.

Not exactly sure what took him, Vet thinks he may have had a brain tumor.

Still makes me cry 4 months later. Never been this affected.

Finally can share my loss here. I've wanted to many times.

RIP Bruno.

Ty for advice im getting her vet appointment set up now

If you look at my profile a while back I battled with his paw being hurt from being hit by a car. He’s about 6 months now and he’s gained full use of his paw 🥺🫶🏻 many months of worrying about new sores from his knuckling and we’re finally in the clear. I rescued him and I’ve never dealt with an injured dog before and He may knuckle every once in a while and he may have a gimpy looking paw but we made it!!

I was lonely and restarting my life and he’s the reason I don’t sleep all day until I go to work anymore. I have a purpose again.

I love my Lobo bobo Baggins 😂💜

Okay, so I recently uploaded a picture of me (5’8 125lbs) holding my husky (65lbs-ish) to instagram and I got loads of comments varying from it’s hilarious, to that’s dangerous and also weird.

I pick up my husky quite often, and we do “practice lifts” where he puts himself into positions so I can lift him. I also pick him up out of spite to the lady with the growly little yappy dog who growls violently at my husky, I carry him into the shops etc also, cause if someone can do it holding a pug then why not my XL Pomsky?

I know I probably carry him more than most BUT I’m curious how many of you lift and carry your huskies? All the other larger dogs I’ve seen being picked up like mines are 95% husky’s, malamutes and samoyeds. Is it a breed thing?

My thinking with the practice lifts also was 1. Just wanted to see if I could 2. He’s a clumsy dog, in case of emergency I’d like to know I can carry that big dopey husky without him flailing around. 3. It’s funny and he likes it. 4. Professional groomers, vets etc. it’s a good piece of mind to know that he knows how to be handled without fuss.

Genuinely curious how many husky owners do and the reasons why and also why so many husky’s seem to be more okay with it than the average big dog?

I have to cut hair out of the roller twice every time I do the house. Plus they play a lot outside and track a lot of dirt in. Have you found a vacuum that can actually keep up?

Bigger pup is 50% GSD 50% Husky. Smaller one is his nephew and 25% GSD 25% Husky 50% Border Collie and 1000% absolute psycho.

I've posted here a few times but I never thought I'd be making this kind of post. I have a Siberian Husky Alaskan Malamute mix that is 7 years and 3 months old. Back in March, the vet told me that he's starting to show signs of arthritis and hip dysplasia. The vet recommended that we put him on Dasuquin, so we did.

About two weeks ago, my wife and I started noticing that he was stiff when getting up in the morning, and he'd struggle getting up from a prone position. Then he would stumble around, and then he'd be fine. Last week, he started having idiopathic head tremors (think of a bobble head), and he started to face plant into his food and water bowls. My wife had also mentioned that he didn't want to come up the stairs to our apartment, and she had to manually move him up the stairs. At that point, I knew it was time for the vet.

Fast forward to yesterday, he walked into my bedroom, looked at me, walked into my closet, and started peeing. He hasn't done that since I first got him around 5 and a half years ago. Later, I took him to the vet and he's usually walking around and all over the vet and techs for attention, but he just laid down and didn't move much. The vet did a full orthopedic exam and couldn't find anything, and gave me a few recommendations to make life a little easier, as well as a referral to a canine neurologist. She also recommended a mobility harness, said that I should consider transitioning him to a senior dog food, and that I may want to get him elevated food/water bowls.

Needless to say, his neuro consult is on Tuesday, and I'm terrified. I'm scared that they may not be able to find anything, but I'm also scared that they will find something.

Anyways, that's a summary of the past two to three weeks in my life.

We just finished lunch. More work for me, after lunch MANDATORY pets and scratches.

Penny and Sky (husky)

I threw my blanket on her and she gave me this look. Reminds me of how sith lords look in Star Wars with their hoods up

So as the title says, when will my husky have her first blown coat?

She will be a year old in December, the week before Xmas.

Should I be concerned that she hasn't blown her coat yet? She is my first dog and first husky.

“don’t eat it alone, hear me out “

Guys, my Siberian husky keep hunting chickens and goats. I am truly exhausted with him right now because he is going to others house, fighting with people and killing goats/birds.

I have grounded him with chain, in crate, and even I belt him on knees long before.

He just hunted a kid (baby goat) by passing thru fencing.

Where am I going wrong? Otherwise he is a good human like dog… I don’t want to give him away, but where did I go wrong? What cruel instinct he has that he has to enter other’s farm and haunt.

Anyone else’s husky ever pee on the bed? She’s only done it a couple times but it’s seems intentional when she does do it!

I know some husky is in there but im not sure what else, I wanted some other opinions because she is absolutely HUGE for her age. she was born january 18th, so about 10 months now and weighs 80 pounds and her vet said she was pretty lean and is still working on“ filling out “ her muscle so being overweight is not a cause thankfully lol but just wanted to get some opinions before i spent a ton of money on a dna test!

Today I woke up and saw my shadow with this droopy eye.

I got an appointment with the vet as soon as I could.

Has anyone experienced this?

Shadow is 12.5 years old

One of the perks of getting older is that he can’t hear me coming from a mile away. So when I come home to let him out at lunch I can basically sneak all the way up on him lol.

He lays across our feet like this. He’ll start to scream when he can’t get out

How could I ever explain the love I have for this dog?

I never could.

7 years ago I met him at a shelter in the midwest. He was hot. I moved him to Alaska. He's been with me through everything. I've studied everything about him. He's complex. He's a good friend. The best!

But they say he's less because... He's JUST a DOG??!?

No.

He's a dog, and you're JUST a PERSON!

Know your place.

So I wanted some advice (if there is any) on breaking this fear she has...

I adopted her at around 9 months and she's 2.5 now. We have a great relationship, I worked with a trainer and she basically lives off leash as she's very obedient but also a wild child when I let her go 'free'. She's 75% husky, 24% german shephard.

So the first 6 months of me adopting her, she would come upstairs, nuzzle the door open and jump in bed to wake me up (at 7am no less) and to go out and use the bathroom, etc. She'd come into my office (where I have a bed and some toys for her) and hang out through my workday here and there.

Now if I say 'let's go to bed,' she darts into the downstairs bathroom and under the sink (her little cave) as she knows that means go upstairs. She rarely comes upstairs and if she does she's skittish and she must *really* need something (go potty, water dish empty, etc). And no coaxing will get her upstairs - the more I try, the further she runs away. Dragging her upstairs seems like it will only further traumatize her, so I just gave up.

Two things happened that I think have caused ger to fear upstairs. One is the first two baths I gave her I did in my bathroom (since it has a door to the shower) and I could get in there with her and give her a good shower (which no animal likes). I've since switched to what I should have done initially and I wash her outside with a hose. Secondly, one time she wandered into my bedroom and the door closed behind her and I think she was stuck in there for like 2-3 hours (I was busy working and assumed she was just downstairs chilling).

I've thought about moving her food and water bowl upstairs to force her to come up, but that feels little too manipulative. I don't care if she sleeps in the room with me (she honestly moves around so much it's annoying af), and I don't care about her keeping me company in my office or anything like that. I just feel bad she's scared of upstairs and wished she knew it was safe up here to come hang out and not be so scared of coming up. Any tricks or ideas to get her over it?

I do on occasion sleep on the couch because I feel like she gets lonely down there and she sure enough will sleep on the couch with me and snuggles up often through the night,
