Hi!  My name is Holly, and I might be off base,

but these dogs that I live with, are all a basket case!

  They’re all young and hyper, and they bounce off the walls.

And they tend to ignore their owner’s calls.

  Unlike me, I’m older now.

I’m calm and I’m tepid, This much I vow!

  You see, I’m the oldest…the oldest of all.

I was the first of many Huskies, born in 2007, late in the fall.

  Was there ever a time when I was that bad?

There is no way in ****! I was never ...

When you have 20+ dogs, regardless of breed, feeding time is always an experience.  There really are no shortcuts in terms of what works well and not as well.  Over time, you can definitely pick up on the dogs preferences and nuances.  Some of them are…well…funny.  Just some observations from watching them eat over the years…

Holly:  Will not eat outside.  Only in the house.  Lays on the floor with her head resting on the side of the bowl, the bowl tilted, and she rarely comes up for...

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...

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...

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:

We start with the ...

Holly the escape artist

Over the years, Holly became known as the Houdini of Houdini’s.  Since she was our first Husky, It was “trial by fire”, and we had to learn quickly what worked and what didn’t.  Stalls were often husky-proof, but not Holly-proof.  It was because of Holly that I came up with the 5-point husky escape plan:

1.       Jump it

2.       Climb it

3.       Go through it

4.       Go under it

5.       Outsmart it

From that first stall, every one I have built since has...

Something we have always done here at Frosty Meadow Husky Farm, is try to make the Huskies as comfortable as possible.  Giving them as much space as possible, giving them companionship, keeping them protected from the elements in the winter, and providing ample air flow in the summer, are just a few of the things we do for them.  We are always looking for ways to improve on their quality of life.  One of the things we have learned along the way though is that not everything goes as planned.  ...

The Name Game (Updated, and re-posted from a few months ago.)

I was pondering recently how many names everyone has come up with over the years.  So I took it upon myself to make the list and see if we all covered the alphabet.  As you can see, not quite yet.  We are still missing a dozen or so names, but there are 4 letters not covered.  F,U,W,&X.

There were a few instances that a name was used more than once, and I didn’t include multiples.

As you can see, the letters “K”, “M”...

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 Fletcher, nobody rings a door bell.  Many folks are wearing costumes.  Everyone is out in the front yards, and not only giv...

In today’s rendition of “Stories”, I am going back a few years to the old house, about a year after we first got Dan, our horse that recently and tragically passed away.  The pasture at the old house was fenced on all four sides and kept Dan in place, but being a standard farm fence, it didn’t do a good job of keeping the dogs contained.  More importantly, the fence could not continue over the creek that ran through the middle.  It stopped on both sides, and continued after the cr...
