Chance
Chance is from Holly and Kallen's litter from 2013. He was one of a litter of 10, and at first seemed normal. As they grew, and reached the age of 4 weeks or so, we began the weaning process. This is when we realized Chance had issues. He would vomit up anything solid he would eat. He grew fine to this point, because he does just fine on liquids. When solid food was introduced, even the soft canned food, he would vomit it back up. A visit to the vet and an x-ray later, it was determined that he had a band wrapped around his esophagus which constricted it almost completely. Since that time, Chance has had surgery to correct the problem, but still remains on a semi-liquid diet (milkshake consistency). Chance is a very active and courageous husky. He gets into everything, and we have to watch him closely so he doesn't eat anything solid. On several occasions, he has almost choked on solid foods that he was not supposed to eat.
Today, he is as spoiled as they come, and we have affectionately nick-named him "Crackhead" after his father Kallen, since he has the same very free-spirited and fun-loving mentality. He loves any type of food, and has been taught to do several tricks including shake, sit, lay down, hi-five and double hi-five. He is very vocal, and loves to argue and talk back. His favorite game is tug-O-war, whether playing with a rolled up newspaper or a stick.

Update 2-18-25 -- Chance is now 12 years old and while he showing his age a bit, he is still active. He still thinks he is the king of the house. He never hesitates to jump into the middle of a squabble. Even at 12 years old, he walks around with a chip on his shoulder! He remains very vocal, especially for food. He gets in the face of anyone present to yip continuously until he gets what he wants. He also loves to sneak around and grab as much hard food as he can and run into his crate to eat it. Once a little crackhead, always a little crackhead!
