Wednesday Weekly Update for 10-30-13

Posted by Andrew Kronenberger on Wednesday, October 30, 2013, In : Frosty Meadow Happenings 

As October comes to a close, we are starting to prepare for winter.  In the back play area, we decided to make a “doghouse” out of the deck.  This is mostly for Akira, Chance, and Nadia.  They do get to come in the house, but spend most of their time out there.  As with most Huskies, they PREFER it outside during the winter, but mostly this is for the rain, snow, wind, or brutal cold.  They go under there a lot anyway, but now it is more sheltered.  So far, they seem to like it.

Tuesday Tech Talk...Should I Own a Husky??

Posted by Andrew Kronenberger on Tuesday, October 29, 2013, In : Tech Talk 

With every litter we have and rescue we come across, we will normally hear something along the lines of, “We’ve always wanted a Husky!  They are such beautiful and loving dogs!”

We always ask the question, “Have you ever OWNED a Husky?

Most of the time, honestly, the answer is either “yes”, or “no, but we did some research and know the downfalls.”  Inevitably however, we come across someone who knows nothing about them.  It is at that point we must give them the lesson in ...

Sunday/Mondy Funnies, 10-28-13

Posted by Andrew Kronenberger on Monday, October 28, 2013, In : Sunday Funnies 
  • The past few days have been very nice weather-wise, and as usual the dogs enjoyed it.  For the past several days however, they have been a little irritable.  So we have to put them out in stages. 
  • When they are behaving this way, Daisie, Aleu, Miya, and Rose must go out at separate times.  Same with Kallen and Demon.  The problem is they behave like teenagers that don’t get their way!  You can hear the “It’s not fair!”, and “Why do they get to?” and “My life is over!” comi...

Saturday Stories...Halloween in Fletcher

Posted by Andrew Kronenberger on Saturday, October 26, 2013, In : Stories 
This a re-post from a while back, but it may be a recurring story at Halloween each year :-)

Halloween in Fletcher

Our kids are now older, but several years ago when we moved out to our first mini-farm in Fletcher, we attended the community “trick-or-treat” night in Fletcher.  For a very tiny town, Fletcher always impressed me with this annual event.  Anywhere else I’ve lived, trick-or-treat night has been fun, but it has not been the “big event” that it is in Fletcher.  In Fletch...

Wednesday Weekly Update for 10-23-13

Posted by Andrew Kronenberger on Wednesday, October 23, 2013, In : Frosty Meadow Happenings 
  • Milton has been delivered.  I don’t officially think that Milton will be his name, but that’s what the finders called him.  Kyle, his new owner, picked him up on Saturday.  Seems like a great fit. 
  • It was great to see such an interest in Milton.  It has been our hope to be a rescue farm in addition to a breeder, and this is a step in that direction. 
  • Things are moving back to normal, as we tend to day to day life with eleven Huskies.  There always seem to be an issue with one or a...

Saturday Stories…Cheyenne’s Travels

Posted by Andrew Kronenberger on Saturday, October 19, 2013, In : Stories 

On today’s edition of Saturday Stories, we are going to shift focus to one of the puppies that came from Frosty Meadow Farms, as opposed to our own Huskies.  Cheyenne comes from Daisie and Denali’s latest litter, born 11-22-12.  She is about 11 months old as of this writing.  Today’s story is about the many travels of Cheyenne.   Information from this story comes from Cheyenne’s owners, Rob and Tonya. 

Has anyone ever stopped to wonder how much our Husky gets to see over their l...

Friday Focus..Cartoon Alter Ego, Aleu

Posted by Andrew Kronenberger on Friday, October 18, 2013, In : Friday Focus 

Time for another “Cartoon Alter Ego”, and this time we will take a look at Aleu.  Last week’s “Friday Focus” was about her, so we will follow suit with her cartoon comparison.  The reason for these comparisons, (besides for fun) is to give the reader an idea of how they act on a regular basis.  Some of the comparisons stand out and are obvious, and some we had to think about a little more. 

Aleu was a tough case.  As mentioned in the Friday Focus, she is a very loving and hypera...

This weeks theme on Thursday Throwback is Past litters.  Starting this week with our very first litter with Daisie and Denali.  We will feature other litters in future weeks.
This litter was born January 12th, 2010.  There were 6 males and 2 females, 4-all-white, and 4-black and white.  They include:  Dakota, Maverick, Ice, Bella, Paytah, Sophie, and 2 others.

Wednesday Weekly Update for 10-16-13

Posted by Andrew Kronenberger on Wednesday, October 16, 2013, In : Frosty Meadow Happenings 

Miya’s puppies are all now in their new homes, and the feedback has been positive.  We welcome all the new owners to the Frosty Meadow Family!

Miya is back to normal, and she is the Miya of old!  She is back to running around causing trouble (in a playing sense), then having the “who me?” innocent look on her face!

Miya and Daisie, the two that are going through a second coat blow, are almost complete.  This should be it for the year, as colder weather is setting in and they will ...

Monday Motivation on Tuesday.

Posted by Andrew Kronenberger on Tuesday, October 15, 2013, In : Monday Motivation 

What is the difference between a goal and a dream?

With many things in life, people have a goal and people have a dream.  The question I pose to you is, “When does a dream become a goal?” 

This is the story of two frogs.   A story that poses the question, “What can we accomplish when are backs are against the wall?”  I hope you enjoy the story, and read into the philosophical points it represents!

Friday Focus: Meet the Siberian Huskies, Part 9…Aleu

Posted by Andrew Kronenberger on Friday, October 11, 2013, In : Friday Focus 

Our next Husky in line was Aleu.  By this time, we decided that expanding the pack was going to continue to be an integral part of our future plans.  We had decided that we only wanted to focus on Siberian Huskies of AKC Pedigree and Lineage.  To this point, all of our Huskies (except Sheba) were black and white, all-white, or gray and white.  We decided to look for a red and white, since we had some individuals inquiring on red and white puppies.  In March of 2010, we found a 10 week old...

Wednesday Weekly Update for 10-9-13

Posted by Andrew Kronenberger on Wednesday, October 9, 2013, In : Frosty Meadow Happenings 

Miya’s puppies are 8 weeks old today!  One by one, they are heading to their new homes.   This litter was our 15th litter, and it contained our 100th puppy sold!  Thanks to the new puppy owners, and also all that have purchased our puppies over the years.  It’s truly been a pleasure serving you!

Still no word on whether or not Miya or Rose will be having puppies this year.  We will certainly be keeping an eye on the situation.  Beyond that, Daisie is next in line, and we anticipate a...

Winter’s coming! (but not here yet)

Posted by Andrew Kronenberger on Tuesday, October 8, 2013, In : Tech Talk 

This week on Tuesday Tech Talk, I will talk about a few things everyone should keep in mind as winter approaches.  But first, I wanted to mention that sometimes Huskies blow their coats a second time.  If you are experiencing this, keep in mind it’s normal.  As the warmer weather started back in the spring, most Huskies started to “blow” or shed their inner coat.   Typically, by mid-summer, this process is complete, and they stay that way until nature tells them it’s time to grow ...

Saturday Stories..."The other Huskies"

Posted by Andrew Kronenberger on Saturday, October 5, 2013, In : Stories 

In our “Friday Focus” posts, each week we highlight our Huskies, one by one, to tell their story and give you an overall picture of their quirks and personalities.  This category also will cover puppies that we have sold based on feedback from owners.  

Over the years however, several Huskies have crossed our paths that don’t  make the cut.  Today, I will highlight them, and tell you a little about them and also how, when, and why they crossed our path. 

Sophie:

Friday Focus: Cartoon Alter Ego, Nadia

Posted by Andrew Kronenberger on Friday, October 4, 2013, In : Friday Focus 

In today’s “Cartoon Alter Ego”, we will talk about Nadia.  She was born in Daisie and Denali’s latest litter, born 11-22-12.  Nadia was the runt of the litter.  This litter was very large, consisting of 10 puppies!  When you have large litters, it’s typical to have some smaller than others.  Nadia was an extreme case.  She was less than half the size of the rest at birth, and remained about half their size as she grew.  Today, she is around 35 lbs., which is still about 10-20 lbs ...

Wednesday Weekly Update 10-2-13

Posted by Andrew Kronenberger on Wednesday, October 2, 2013, In : Frosty Meadow Happenings 
What a blur of a week it's been!  The Frosty Meadow Reunion, getting Miya's puppies ready for their new homes, and to top it all off, the engine locks up in one our cars, forcing us to scramble and buy a new truck.  Today, I am posting pictures of our 3rd annual reunion.  It grows in size every year, but it's still not quite where we would like it to be.  Hopefully in future years, it will grow even more!
