the sled dogs of team renegade ran their new private trail for the first time this morning. this is the first section out of three or four new areas we’ll be clearing for them.

we think they liked it.

I wrote a post here shortly after adopting Basil about 3 months ago. You all gave me some wonderful advice. I was overwhelmed, she was overwhelmed, we were both struggling to adjust. Every day for about a month I contemplated bringing her back to the shelter. But I couldn’t bring myself to do that to a sweet girl who I could tell deep down, if you saw past her raging panic and anxiety, she just wanted love and to know she had someone she could trust.

Even just three months in and she has become my best friend. Her and I understand each other now. The 3-3-3 rule is SO REAL! No, it didn’t make her perfect. Yes, she still digs holes in the yard and hates all strangers. But she also listens (most of the time), loves to do tricks and training, and can even settle down for a handful of minutes without being tethered!! We still have a long way to go but I can see the growth in her every day. It’s such a rewarding experience to take care of her, fill kongs and buy treats and toys for her, just because it will make her happy. I hope we get to celebrate lots more happy and healthy years together ❤️

Hey everyone!

I’m planning to build a 14 gauge wielded wire fence for my husky. It’s going to be 6 foot tall (which is enough for my husky since he ain’t really of a jumper). However, the mesh hole size for the fence is 2” x 4” (I fear he might be able to use it as a ladder).

It doesn’t look wide enough for my husky to get a pawn in but it is quite long. I wanted to know if any of you guys had any experience or suggestions on this.

Do you think a 2”x4” mesh hole size for a 6 foot 14 gauge wielded wire fence is good enough or will he climb it?

Took my husky mixed (husky/Klee Kai/Shiba) backpacking to Lake Mildred in the Sierras over the weekend, and to my surprise and dismay he was shivering and almost turned into a pupsicle. The weather was 20F with high winds so it was cold, but I figured he would be ok and so I didn’t bring anything for him to warm up; and, he was fine hiking in Mt Baldy when there was snow many times. Maybe he’s an LA husky and has lost his cold proof super power..and he does sunbath during summer heatwave.

Happy birthday you are the best dog I’ve ever had, I’d go to war 1 million times for you!!! 💜💜💜

Audrey has settled in quite well and thinks that she's in charge of all animals, including the 2 legged kinds. Her favorite thing, though, is getting treats. Did I mention her favorite thing is getting treats?

Can we go to the park already...

Alright y'all my vacuum has finally died .. what is yalls favorite vacuum for the husky fur

Here’s my best friend Obi-Wan on our fall hike that took us through Finnish/Swedish lapland and parts of Norway. Good times!

I'm so excited I can't wait! She's going to get so spoiled.

this is my muttsky. according to her DNA test, she is 15 breeds, with Siberian Husky the biggest contributor by far at 28%.

she has 3 other breeds that are >10% contributors. care to guess what they might be in the comments?

if you guess correctly, i’ll laser-engrave you a custom dog tag with your pup’s face or paw print or whatever you want on it.

sure, but why?

1. i work at a metal shop and I just got trained on the engraver. fun stuff!!
2. i just had a conversation yesterday that happens all the time: people insisting they know what her breed is and they’re dead wrong. it happened to me—i wasn’t exactly prepared for a husky. i get it now… 6 years of chaos later. i had a “breed reveal” party with my friends in SF when i got her results and we played a similar game with a powerpoint and all. she’s a stumper and we love her for it. :)

ETA: i’ll definitely be reading/responding to questions and giving upvotes. but i’ll DM the winners to keep the game going as long as possible. :)

Baby boy Sven turned 1 today!! Had a little party at my parents house, so he got to celebrate with his grandparents, sister Daisy, his auntie, and his Uncle Timbre! (whose nose you can see in the second picture, lol.) Had puppy cake, puppy ice cream, and got to open presents! Here's to many more birthdays! 🎉🥳💖

He loves kids and I finally brought one home for him

Does anyone else have a wave fighter? Mine loves the beach (first time) and the mountains. She always tries to bite waves, including pools.

I only let her do this for a few minutes and this is brackish water, but I'm still slightly concerned with the salt.

this was towards the end so she’s more lazy, but i’m so proud of her:) she listens quite well off leash compared to last year now that she’s over 2!

Have any of your huskies suffered with premature arthritis? Our 6 year old had arthritis show up on X-rays of both front limbs. She limps and it seems to be getting worse despite being on antiinflammatories, fish oil and joint supplements. She's also on a diet and is losing weight.

It’s at an animal hospital, and a lot of people say if it doesn’t come out around this time that you should just have it removed so I scheduled with the vet/animal hospital that she has been before. We don’t have pet insurance and I don’t think they would cover it because it’s a pre-existing condition but a big part of me almost thinks that I could get it out myself. She’s not in pain. Her breath smells bad and her gums seem slightly inflamed, but I think the price is outrageous for lab work sedation the hours they said it would be would be like five hours for the procedure or some shit like that and it’s practically a whole check for our family. We have savings and I have a credit card if needed, but it’s genuinely stressing me out because what if it could just come out on its own? It is slightly loose and my husband is able to wiggle it, but I don’t know if we should wait longer or not because we only have a week before the operation. Any advice or tips I would greatly appreciate because I feel like this is way too much just for one tooth especially with the holidays and traveling coming up. Thank you.
