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 ...

A quick Pre-Thanksgiving update!

Winter is rapidly approaching,  and we are hustling to prepare everything for its onslaught.  The back wall is finished, complete with new windows and insulation.  The old stalls in the northwest corner are gone and the two windows have been replaced, as well as the framing and insulation.  The corner is ready for the new stalls that will be there.  In the front (southwest) corner, 2 small windows have been added as well.  The entire barn is now insulated, mi...

A lot has happened on the farm since our last blog!  Our apologies for the delays in keeping up to date! 

The spring/summer litters are all now in their new homes:

Very Cool and Interesting Colors

A few of our spring litter’s had interesting colors (a few agouti and dirty faced pups) as Gypsy and Quinn had their first litters.  Some of our most beautiful pups came from these litters!  We loved the colors so much that it enticed us to purchase Onyx.  (More on her later)

Final Litters/Ret...

As was announced yesterday, Our beloved Holly passed away at the age of 10. Born on December 11th, 2007, Holly was our very first Husky.  She was one of the original 3, as we like to call them.  Holly, Daisie Mae, and Brutus were our first 3 huskies, and set the tone for what is now a wonderful business.  They are all gone now, but will forever live in our hearts and certainly will live on through their children and grandchildren.  Holly was truly a unique Husky that taught us almost everythi...

It’s that time of the year!  The wonderful mud and muck that arrives in the late winter and early spring.  While there wasn’t much in the way of snow melt-off this year, there hasn’t been a shortage of rain.  The play area for the dogs has become a muddy mess.  Bag after bag of pine pellets have certainly been helpful, but Mother Nature has been quite relentless of late.  The pine pellets break down into saw dust and do a great job in absorbing moisture.  A little goes a long way, but w...

Christmas season is upon us, and all of the decorations are up including the Nativity, the lights, and the tree.  The lawn mower, grill, and other “summer” items are tucked away for the winter.  Soon, the snow will fly. 

In past seasons, as the fans in the barn get put away, the electric buckets and heat lamps come out.  This year is a little different.  We did put out the heat lamps for all of the pups, and will likely do the same for the upcoming litters, but they will not be needed a...

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...

*  Once again, I’ve slacked a little with blogging, and it’s now been a few months since the last one.  So I am long overdue with updates!

*  The summer litters are all now in their new homes.  Overall, it was a disappointing summer and early fall puppy-wise.  Since Luna’s litter in April, we only had 3 litters.  (Ice, Ziva, & Josie)  Many of the anticipated heat cycles were delayed longer than expected.  The good news is that we are now looking at a very active fall and winter.  As of...

Ice has given birth to 5 pups!  4-females and 1 male.  The male is all-white, and the females are white, red and white, and 2 gray and whites.  They were born early Sunday morning July 9^th, a little behind their anticipated arrival of July the 4^th.  They are sold or are sale pending.  The expected go home time will be Labor Day Weekend.  Ziva meanwhile, is expected to give birth any time now.  She is looking big, so we feel the possibility of a big litter exists.  But as with every other litt...

  In this world of instant gratification which we now live, patience is a very rare commodity.  It started decades ago with items such as instant cameras and instant oatmeal, and today has gotten a lot worse with the age of instant information.  Unfortunately, it doesn’t work that way in the puppy world.  We are continuously amazed and amused by the people that call, text, or email 2 days before Christmas in hopes of getting a puppy for their loved one, and expect to have it in their posses...

Summer is now fully upon us.  The heat is on, the fans are out, and the swimming pools and water tubs are being used regularly.  Summer projects are in full swing.  We are now up to 4 completed new stalls, and are on target to pour the cement barn floor with floor drain by the end of the summer.  At that point, we should have at least 7 completed stalls.  This fall, we then figure to remove all remaining old style stalls along the west wall, and build the new stalls on that side.   Next sprin...

Almost a month has gone by since the last blog post…already!

Up until this week, we have had a very nice spring.  This week has been a dose of reality, but overall I have been able to accomplish a lot on the new stalls.  As of the last blog post, we had 2 completed, with a third almost complete.  As of now, there are still only 2 complete, but 3 more are almost there and the framing for the final 2 on the east side is underway.  Arrangements have been made to begin the cement floor which w...

Spring is finally in the air!  And I am LONG overdue for a blog and as usual, there are many updates.
Mild Winter

It was actually a very mild winter, with very little snow.  I like a mild winter, but there are 2 reasons why a cold, snowy winter is acceptable.  One that we all know is that the dogs really do love running and playing in the snow.  We haven’t had much to speak of in the last few winters, and I think they have forgotten what it’s like.  Two, It seems that the harsher the win...

It’s the Holiday Season!
The Holiday Season is upon us.  With Thanksgiving behind us and the celebration of Christmas upcoming, it is always a busy time of the year.  Here at the farm, it is no different.  In our last report, we mentioned the late summer lull.  We anticipated the next round of puppies to arrive in the November time frame.  Well, nature tends to do things its own way sometimes!  We can finally confidently pinpoint the arrival of our next round of litters.  We expect 5 litters...

It’s been many months since our last “Husky Report”, and we now have many new families that are part of the Frosty Meadow Family.  In our last update, we were saying goodbye to the last of the late winter/early spring puppies.  Since that point, there were 4 additional litters.  Josie, Rose, Ice, and Aleu all had litters, and all the pups went to their new homes in July.  We welcome all of the new families!

Late Summer Lull

After the latest round of puppies left, we arrived at a bre...

Heatstroke in Dogs

I pulled the following excerpt from the internet, and thought it was good information with summer right around the corner.  It's important to pay close attention to our dogs!

"Dogs pant to regulate body temperature, as dogs have fewer sweat glands than humans, and most of their sweat glands are located along the base of their feet.  By panting, a dog can cool the mouth and tongue, along with blood which is circulated through the head, keeping body temperature at a safe an...

Brush it out, comb it out, blow it out…but NEVER cut it, or worse, shave it!

Siberian Huskies are notorious shedders.  Their coats consist of two layers.  An inner coat and an outer coat.  The softer inner coat serves as an insulator for the cold of winter, making them able to withstand temperatures as low as 50-60 degrees below zero!  The more coarse outer coat serves two purposes.  During the winter, it acts as a “raincoat” to help protect them from the snow, ice, and rain. Durin...

The grip of old man winter has finally loosened, and the sights, sound, and smells of Spring are in the air!  It was a relatively mild winter, but it was still winter nonetheless.  We can now turn our focus to the projects and activities that arrive with the warmer weather:

• To start things off, we say goodbye to the large number of puppies that arrived this winter.  Mylah, Nadia, Ember, and Miya all had litters within 10 days of each other, and we are now in the final stages of them going t...

Happy St. Patrick's Day everyone!  Get out your green attire and drink a toast!

• It's been very busy the last few weeks!  Our apologies for the lack of recent updates.  All four of our anticipated winter litters were born!  28 pups in all.

            Mylah had 7 pups -- 1 Male and 6 Females
            Nadia had 7 pups -- 6 Males and 1 Female
            Ember had 3 pups -- 2 Males and 1 Female
            Miya had 11 pups (!) -- 4 Males and 7 Females
            All are well!

• Ember had com...

I mentioned in my last post that I would outline our goals for 2016.  In a continuous effort to better the lives of our Huskies, and also to make our lives easier, we are often brainstorming on different projects to accomplish.  In 2015 we were finally able to begin phase 1 of the new barn stalls.  We changed out the large corner stall with a dirt floor to 2 smaller (yet still quite large) stalls with a concrete floor.  We wanted test out the concrete floor before moving forward to learn th...

It’s been several weeks since we’ve had a Husky Report. Much has happened since!  Here are the latest happenings:

• Aleu’s puppies recently went to their new homes.  Thanks to all the new puppy owners!  This was Aleu’s 4^th litter, and we anticipate 1-2 more litters and then it will be time for retirement. 

• The November litters have arrived.  After much anticipation, the 4 litters we’ve been talking about for some time now finally arrived:

• Lula had 5 puppies on November 13^th.  Sh...

Now that summer has wound down and Autumn is beginning, it’s time for another Husky Report.  Plenty going on, so let’s get to it:

• First and foremost, Most of you by now know of the passing of our beloved Daisie Mae.  She was one of our original 3 huskies.  (Along with Holly and Brutus)  Of the 3, only Holly now survives.  We will miss Daisie.  She had her own demeanor that will never be duplicated!

• Saturday, we had our 5^th annual Husky Reunion.  It was in our opinion, very successful!...

The busy summer continues, with a brief timeout for a very nice getaway weekend on Lake Cumberland.  It was our first time on a houseboat, and for the most part we enjoyed it.  There was a major learning curve.  It was like taking a driver’s test in a Semi without prior practice! 

• First and foremost, the anticipated barrage of litters for summer and fall have begun.  While we cannot be certain for a few more weeks, we believe Aleu, Miya, and Ember to be pregnant.  Aleu and Ember are non...

Wow…It’s been over a month since our last Husky Report!  There are many things going on, but the catch 22 is that that limits the time needed to type this blog. 

• Rose’s puppies are 8 weeks old, and 6 of the 7 are in their new homes!  We welcome the Brennan, Tuggle, Ross, Karacia, and Wolfram families to Frosty Meadow!

• The one remaining puppy is sold, but scheduling is causing a small delay in the pick up.  A special thanks go out to the Coleman’s, for adding to their pack!  They ...

We hope everyone had a wonderful Memorial Day Weekend, and hope everyone stopped to remember why the holiday exists.  We honor all of those who have fallen in defense of our freedom in this the greatest country on earth!

• Here at the farm, the weekend was used to accomplish a lot of things.  The next phase of the stall project is underway, with the corner stall torn down and ready for gravel and concrete.  We will then divide that into two stalls.  Once that is complete, we will add three m...

It’s been a busy couple weeks since our last update!  With spring and warmer weather in full gear, there are projects galore.

• We finally were able to move the manure pile and clean out the barn.  It took most of last Sunday to accomplish, but it’s finally finished!  The looks emptier than it has in quite some time!

• This will lead into the next step, which is adding the long overdue kennels.  Along the west wall, we currently only have 1 in the corner.  Our hope is that by summer’s e...

Every year in the spring, it seems there is a week weather-wise that we’d all just as soon forget.  This past week was one of those weeks.  After opening all the barn windows last week, this week decided to relentlessly blow cold air and rain into them.  For the most part, the dogs didn’t mind, but I did put the plexiglass back up for the stall with the puppies.  They weren’t too fond of the elements.

Mylah’s puppies are now three weeks old.  Both are sold.  They are…shall we say...

A lot has been going on at the farm the last couple weeks!  With Winter finally behind us, and the warmth of Spring in the air, it is time to finally get some long awaited projects going!

• It’s still a little chilly to put the turkeys out in the barn.  They still reside in the garage, but likely only for another couple weeks.  I can’t wait to get the garage back!  They are definitely getting bigger.  Now about the size of an eagle.  (Although not as beautiful)  It’s hard to believe th...

First and foremost, I wanted to wish everyone a very happy and blessed Easter Sunday!  Enjoy time with family and/or friends on this glorious day!  Rejoice!!  He is Risen!!!

• Last week there was a temporary furlough from “The Husky Report”.  Heather and I enjoyed a little get away to Amish Country, in Holmes County/Berlin, Ohio.  We were celebrating Heather’s 40^th birthday!  I feel lucky to have this wonderful woman to share my life!

• Another busy week here at the farm.  Now that all of the pups are in their new homes, we now turn our focus to the turkeys, which arrived on Wednesday!  We are happy to report that so far all have survived the trip, and the first several days here.  

• Several weeks ago, we took in Lula (From Rose/Kallen 2014) and Czar (From Miya/Kallen 2013) from the BoSheers.  Due to health issues, they were unable to give them the care they needed.  It was a VERY difficult decision for the BoSheers.  They...

For today's Friday Flashback, instead of looking into past photos, I wanted to go back and re-visit the names list to see where we stand.

I wanted to see if we all covered the alphabet yet.  I knew we were close, but I wanted to see where it stood.

As you can see, not quite yet.  There are a dozen or so names we do not yet know, but as of right now there are 2 letters not covered.  U&X.

There are several instances that a name was used more than once.  A few times, a name was used on 3 occa...

This is a repeat post from the past, but the subject invariably arises with every litter of puppies. 

“How will you be able to tell them apart?”  or  “Are you sure you will be able to tell which one is mine when we pick him/her up?”  The answer is yes we can, but it is not easy.

Some litters are easy to distinguish.  An example of this is Rose’s litter from early 2013.  Six puppies, four different color combinations and the ones that were the same were 1 male and 1 female.

The...

• It’s been a busy weekend!  There was no Friday Flashback blog post on Friday, since it was Zach’s birthday.  We had a couple of puppy pickups, plus had dinner out and brought Zach and his friend to “Scene 75”, which is a go cart/laser tag/video game facility.  Lots of fun!

• As mentioned, Friday was the pickup of two of Miya’s puppies.  Four left on Saturday, and one more on Sunday.  We welcome the Elek's, the Stankus', the Daniels’, the Spears', The Norman's, the Westerfield's, ...

With Nadia’s puppies now in their new homes, and Miya’s puppies soon going to their new homes, we felt a good topic for today’s “TechTalk” would be feeding your husky.  When you bring home your new husky puppy, obviously you need to stop and get some food.  Many ask us what we have been feeding them, so they can get some of the same.  (It’s not good to abruptly switch foods).  Normally we use “4-Health” brand Puppy Food, which we consider to be a very good brand, and we provid...

• It was the big weekend for Nadia’s pups! They all went to their new homes.  We welcome to The Frosty Meadow Family, the Halusek’s, the Wiese’s, the Prader’s, the Yedinak’s, the Strowsky’s, and also a special mention to the Marti’s for their second puppy going home to meet Finn. (from Miya and Kallen 2013).

• As mentioned previously, Miya’s pups are now separated from mama, and loving the yummy new food they get!  They have all now been vet-checked, (all passed!) and will get ...

Today's Friday Flashback is dedicated to our beloved Brutus, who passed away a couple years ago.  We miss him!

• Welcome to March!!  After a very long winter, March is finally here.  Thoughts of green enter my mind.  Both the green grass and leaves that are around the corner, and the green of St. Patrick’s Day!  Being ¼ Irish, I enjoy celebrating the festivities.  Perhaps not as much as others, but a beverage or two is always in order!

• Well, March decided to come in like a lion…the biggest lion on the safari!  I am guessing 6 or so inches of snow fell here today.  At least it warmed to around 30...

With the recent ongoing bitter cold, Today's "Friday Flashback" will focus on warmer (and in some cases HOTTER) times:

Pool pic #1...This was taken on one of the hottest days in the last decade.  A couple summers ago when it reach well into the 100's.  Demon was playing lifeguard watching over the others in the pool.


Last year, on the first day we opened the pool.

• We were asked recently about the effectiveness of shots bought over the counter.  This person had been told that the shots at the vet are more effective.  This question had been asked before, so I figured I should give my thoughts here.  I should add that our vet concurs with these thoughts.  It is NOT the shot itself that is the problem.  It’s in the handling and administering.  First and foremost, the shot must be administered properly by someone trained to handle a needle.  Heather, be...

• Back to blogging!  After an extremely long hiatus, I am getting back started with routine blogging.  It won’t be a daily thing, but hopefully it will be a few times per week.  We finally upgraded our computer.  One of the main reason I have been away from blogging was the fact that our laptop (and only) computer was not doing very well.  It didn’t get along with this website, and downloading Firefox (and others) proved to be challenging or not possible.  The only shot I had at blogging ...

Graduations are in the books, and summer is underway.  Summer tends to be a much busier time for most, and we here at the farm aren’t any different!

• Rose’s puppies are almost all in their new homes.  Only 2 remain with us, due to the special arrangements we made for pickup.  One family is on vacation until next week, and the other (Rob and Tonya) are set to arrive the weekend of the 21^st.  Congratulations to Rob and Tonya on the birth of their son Wyatt!  So far, the report has been th...

Memorial Day has come and gone.  Frosty Meadow Husky Farm honors all those who have served our great country, especially those who lost their life in defense of our freedom!

• This Memorial Day weekend was a very big one for us.  Our daughters, Jenna and Meranda, both graduated from high school!  Time has sure flown.  It’s time for them to begin the next chapter of their lives, as Jenna heads off to Walsh University to study Physical Therapy, and Meranda will be staying closer to home and ...

Wow…it’s been a while!  We’ve been out of town for a few days to visit family in VA Beach, and get a little R&R before the summer kicks in.  Summer is usually filled with projects, to-do’s, and events, so it was nice to get away for a few days beforehand. 

• First, a special thanks to Taylor for being the farm hand while we were away.  She took over the daily chores so that we could get away.
  

• Before leaving, All of Daisie’s puppies went to their new homes.  Thanks again to all of t...

A little late this week, but here's what's happening down on the farm:

• Daisie's pups are now 5 weeks old (tomorrow), and are a handful!  They went in for their vet check-up yesterday, and are good to go!  They are about 90% weaned, and will soon be fully weaned.  Daisie didn't give us much choice this time around.  At about 4 weeks, she pretty much shut them down.  Other than the occasional snack, Daisie has avoided them.  But that's ok.  That many puppies is simply too much to keep up with fo...

Continue reading ...

• Update on Daisie’s pups:  They are now 3 ½ weeks old, and are starting to run around and be playful.  As of today, there are 3 remaining white males.  We have started the de-worm process, and will be starting to wean them soon.  With larger litters, we start to wean them at 4 weeks.  The mother has trouble keeping up with milk production when there are this many puppies!  Also, they vary in size due to some getting more than others.  We will be introducing them to 4-Health soft food this...

It's April in Ohio...It's time to play weather roulette!  Flooding rains and 60 degrees to sunny and 80 degrees to 24 degrees and an inch of snow.  If nothing else, it's entertaining!

• Latest on Daisie's pups.....They are now 18 days old, and are opening their eyes. We are happy to report at this time that they all appear to be blue!  As of this writing, Only the white males remain unsold. (as usual)  We moved them down to the "growing up" stall to make room for Rose in the birthing stall.

“And the rain, rain, rain; came down, down, down; in rushing little riv’lets; ‘Til the river crept out of its bed, and crept right into Piglets.”

• Back before Christmas, this song popped into my head, due to the flooding rains at that time.  Seems it wouldn’t be the only time in these few months!  This flood, in terms of the stalls, was worse than the one a few months ago.  Once again, the dogs seemed to enjoy it.  Demon specifically, was jumping up and down into a pool of water i...

A big week here at the farm!

• As expected, Daisie gave birth to a large litter of puppies Saturday.  The litter was larger than expected.  Eleven total puppies, which is a new Frosty Meadow Farms record! (Previous was 10 by Miya, Holly, and Daisie.)  There were 5-all white (1-F, 4-M) and 5-black and white (3-F, 2-M).  One unfortunately, was stillborn.

• Daisie is now labeled as “SuperMom”.  We are likely going to retire her now, after 4 large litters.   She is coming up on 6 years old, a...

Before starting into this week’s update, I will be sure to mention that today is Heather’s birthday.  Not only is Heather my beautiful wife, but also my best friend and business partner here at Frosty Meadow Farms.  She handles a lot of the behind the scenes items that go unnoticed many times.  Things like medical care, shots, pictures, and overall care for the dogs.  She certainly provides the nurturing side that is vital for the overall happiness and comfort of the Huskies.

• We are st...

A little late on the weekly update this time around!

• As spring finally starts, and Nadia’s puppies are all in their new homes, it’s time to look ahead to warmer weather!  I’m sure winter is not yet finished, but we finally get some warmer, tolerable days mixed in. 

• The first thing to focus on as better weather arrives, is switching back over to standard water buckets.  The electric buckets are nice, but the dogs simply can’t keep their curious snouts out of trouble.  This winter ...

Today is the first birthday of Holly and Kallen’s 2013 litter!  This is the litter that included Chance, so we thought a would be good to tell the story of “Our Journey with Chance”.   This is a timeline of events showing the courageous and remarkable fight of a tiny puppy with not only an incredible will to live, but also his playful spirit despite his circumstances. 

Chance is a beautiful husky, born on 3/18/2013, 1 of 10 puppies.  While this was a very large litter, all puppies...

After a week of not having a posted update, we are back this week.  Lot’s going on!

• Nadia’s puppies are 7 ½ weeks old, and as of Saturday, the final pup will be in his new home.  Once again, thanks to all who purchased puppies!  A special thanks goes to Jeff and Jessica, who bought their second puppy!  Bocephus, (Bo) joins Kenzee, who is happy to have a new chew toy…er…I mean playmate!

• Many people when picking up their new puppies, ask if it’s hard to see them go.  We can hones...

• Yesterday the puppies turned 5 weeks old, and they are becoming more and more ornery and playful.  They love chasing everyone around, including Chance, Nadia, Akira, Billy, and of course all of us.

• Their appetites are enormous, (as is typical) and now they are completely weaned from mama.  It becomes tough to keep them apart, but we’ve been successful.  The biggest issue is the nighttime whining.  Thank goodness, for the sake of everyone’s sanity, they quiet down eventually!

• When the ...

It’s Humpday!  And time again for the weekly update with miscellaneous tidbits…

• Nadia’s pups are now 4 weeks old.  They are officially becoming like typical 4 week old puppies.  Like the 2-year old human baby, the 4-week old puppy develops this thing we all call curiosity.  It’s time to nail down all the loose ends!

• Of course it takes a long time (if ever) to outgrow this phase, right Chance?

• Speaking of Chance, he is doing very well with the puppies.  Normally we don’t let ou...

I tried to post an update yesterday, but it just wouldn't upload right.  Computers...Can't live them, Can't live without them!

As I write this, I have visions of warmer weather, grill outs, baseball, and spring/summer projects.  I know that not everyone is disliking this cold weather.  One of our puppy owners, Megan, (Yuki's owner, from Miya's 2012 Litter) is enjoying time on the mushing trails.
Here is a post she made on Facebook:

• Another snow storm, and then a round of cold and nasty.  (Yawn)  Is it Spring yet?
• Of course the Huskies love it...At least playing in it.  I tend to think that in the end, they prefer it to be at least above 25.  Cold enough to snow, but not this ridiculous nonsense we are calling the winter of 2013/2014.
• We had to open the third stall back up.  It seems Aleu is starting her heat cycle, and we are skipping this one.  So she is now with Holly.  No boys allowed. :-)
• Holly is the one husky we can ...

This week's edition of Thursday Throwback features our dear Pey-Pey girl, who was struck and killed by a truck on 12-23-12. 
Her memory lives on, especially through her babies!  Here are early photos of her litter.

After yet another hiatus from blogging, I am back for an update.  Not much typically happens when the weather turns cold, but this year is absurd! 

• Obviously, the dogs still love to run and play, but as cold as its been, even they are finished after about an hour.  I understand it when a Husky that normally lives in the house can’t tolerate the extreme cold as well.  Chance and Akira are limited and Nadia is little miss prissy (more on her later).  However,  you know it’s cold when all of...

• As mentioned in a previous post, we are anxiously awaiting the birth of Nadia and Chance's puppies.  They are due over the next week or so.  This litter will be a little different than all the others in the past.  Being Nadia and Chance are house Huskies, this will be a learning experience.  We have everything planned as far as keeping Nadia and the puppies separated from Chance and Akira. 
  
• The biggest issue is that Chance has no trouble escaping the fenced area.  We always have to watch him ...

• Well…What a difference a week makes weather-wise!  From an intolerable cold to sweatshirt weather.  It gave me a opportunity to observe the dogs a little on Sunday while they were out playing.  Daisie had to come out early, and go back in before I let the others out because it finally looks like she is starting her long awaited heat cycle.  So we should soon be able to approximate the date her litter soon!

On today’s “Friday Focus”, I wanted to give a special shout out to some other local businesses and affiliations that have helped us out or have provided services to us.  These businesses and people make things easier for us here at Frosty Meadow Farms.  Please remember them if you happen to have a need for their products or services!

Stonyridge Veterinary Services, Dr. Kelley Young, Troy Ohio

It's been an eventful week/week-and-a-half here at the farm!

• As if the Holidays aren't enough to keep everyone hopping this time of year, the weather had us really going. 
  
• We go from flooding rains, to snow, COLD, and wind.
• Before this year, we have never had to deal with the "Polar Vortex" that is just now moving out of here.  With Huskies, the winter weather is not normally much of an issue.  As long as they have their shelter, plenty of food and water, and they get their exercise, there are ...

I just wanted to take a moment to wish everyone a very Happy New Year!  It was another great year of introducing the world to this wonderful breed of dog, the Siberian Husky.  We hope to continue to serve everyone, especially our 4-legged friends.  Our goals for 2014 are numerous, and I will outline most of them in a future post. 
After a couple weeks off from blogging to end the year, I will start posting again soon!
As a little teaser, I will say that very soon I will be making a very specia...

“And the rain, rain, rain; came down, down, down; in rushing little riv’lets; ‘Til the river crept out of its bed, and crept right into Piglets.”

• Here it is, the weekend before Christmas, and instead of Charlie Brown, Rudolf, and the rest of the holiday cartoons, I have “Winnie the Pooh and the Blustery Day” on my mind.  It’s been a loooonnnngggg time since I’ve seen flooding like this.  Many a rushing streams were flowing through our property, on the way to the river.

On today's edition of Thursday Throwback, we look at our 5th litter.  This litter was born 8-10-11 to Miya and Denali. It was a large litter, containing 8 puppies.  One of the puppies want a tiny runt which we tried our best to save, but in the end it simply would not take any milk from either us or Miya.  It died after holding on for a few days.  The seven surviving puppies included:  Jasper, Koda, Mika, Bella, Que, Keika, and Akila. 


Only a couple days old.


At the start of the weaning proces...

• After a couple weeks of snow and cold, we are now set for a rainy melt off.  It happens a couple times a year.  One big rain and a couple days of warmer temps, coupled with a melting snow pack, leads to flooding.  Here at the farm, The corner stall, as well as the horse stalls, are in the line of fire.  They tend to get wet and eventually puddle up.  It's Equine Fresh to the rescue.  Equine Fresh is a brand of horse bedding, ostensibly made to absorb moisture from horse stalls.  It is simply ...

Today, for Thursday Throwback, we look back to our 4th litter.  Sophie the mother, and Demon the father.  It was a very small litter, with 4 in all and 2 of them unfortunately died at birth.  Only 2 puppies survived; Eyezayah and Avalanche.  It was Sophie's only litter, and we've since found her a new home.  It was only one of two litters for Demon.

• Daisie is starting to behave like her cycle will be soon.  More moody, more talkative, and bouncing off the walls, etc.  Meanwhile, the boys are starting to show interest.

• Speaking of which, Denali has a nice little gash on the top of his foot.  A result of him and Demon fighting through the stall wall.  So it’s nurse Heather to the rescue.  It’s healing nicely now, and we moved Denali and Daisie to the corner.

• We didn't get as much snow as we hoped, but they all still had fun!  It's like turning kids loose in a toy store.  They are a lot more fun to observe on snowy days.
• Of course Zach and I had our fun in the snow with them as well.  We had the sled out, and while the dogs didn't pull it, they had fun with it.  Mostly chasing us around.
• Zach would get a running start and jump onto the sled, and whenever he did the dogs tried to prevent it.  Especially Miya.  One time was quite comical, when Miya li...

Meet the Siberian Huskies, Part 12…Nadia

Next in line for our Friday Focus is Nadia.  Nadia's story was special, and almost worthy of a "Saturday Stories" post.  Since she is now over a year old, her story is sometimes forgotten.  She is the daughter of Daisie and Denali, born 11-22-12.  The litter was very large, with 10 puppies in all.  When litters are that big, it's not uncommon to have small puppies, or even runts.  In most cases unfortunately, a runt won't survive.  We have had r...

Today we look back at our third litter, born 6-7-11, Holly the mother, Denali the father.  This litter had an odd circumstance, as we were preparing to move to our present location at the time.  The garage became a makeshift nursery so they could have their peace and quiet while we moved.  This litter includes:  Aurora, Pablo, King, Diesel, Storm, and four others.

Took a little break from blogging over the past week or so with the holiday.  I hope everyone had a great Thanksgiving! 

•  I will say this…I think the dogs love the holidays more than we do!  At least the food part.

The coldest weekend of the year doesn’t do much for us humans in terms of getting things done outdoors, but it does provide for some additional “Huskyisms”!  As I watch from a wind-shielded area, it never ceases to amaze me how much they love the cold.

• Wind chill?  What’s that??  Kallen is facing the wind trying to catch it in his mouth.

• The plastic pool is still out, with a couple inches of water and now frozen on top.  Ice is no fun…Let’s break the ice so we can play in the...

Meet the Siberian Huskies, Part 11…Kallen

In early 2012, as we started to expand on the number of females in our pack, we decided it was also time to add another male.  Kallen came to us from Southern Indiana in the late spring of 2012.  At first, Kallen was on the shy and reserved side.  But it didn’t take him long to warm up to everyone.  He and Rose hit it off immediately, and became playground buddies.  As Kallen grew, he became more and more mischievous.  If there are dogs getting...

I am going to step away from the normal topic today, and write about a soccer team.  A team that I have followed for four years now, containing players that have played together for many more than that.  I am not referring to any professional team, but rather the Lehman Catholic High School Girls soccer team.  This group of girls, which includes my daughter Jenna, has been the epitome of commitment. 

From the very first day of recreational soccer in early childhood, this group has played ...

Rose came to us in the spring of 2012, all the way from northern Michigan.  A musher contacted us inquiring on one of Daisie and Denali’s January 2012 litter, wanting an all-white male.  After a discussion with the individuals, realized they were also breeders that bred their huskies to keep for racing and also to sell.  We were both looking to expand our packs, and after we realized they had puppies to sell as well, we agreed to simply exchange puppies.  Daisie’s puppy, (Shemiah) is ...

• Not much to update this week.  The biggest thing to announce is that unfortunately, it doesn't look like Aleu will be having puppies.  Chalk up another false alarm!  Aleu is our only female that this happens to.  With each or her litters or possible litters, we literally don't know until a short period of time before the birth!

• Beyond that, we are simply in a slow time.  Our next scheduled litter is early 2014, with Daisie next in line.  We anticipate a litter from her and Denali in the month ...

Last week, we discussed the many great advantages of the Siberian Husky.  While there are a lot of great things about them, there are also pitfalls.  To many, the pitfalls can far outweigh the good.  The purpose here is to educate everyone to both, and let everyone decide for themselves whether or not a Husky is right for them.

A Siberian Husky is a high maintenance dog.  Most Husky owners find it best to develop a routine that helps minimize the issues, and being very smart dogs, a Husk...

In today’s edition of “Cartoon Alter Ego”, I am writing about Brutus, although it is difficult.  As most of you know, Brutus was a Frosty Meadow Favorite.  We’ve mentioned many times that almost everyone who came to the farm remarked on how beautiful and friendly he was.  Multiple times, when puppy buyers would come to pick out their puppy, they would see Brutus and ask if they could just buy him instead.  Of course the answer was always NO!!

Brutus was a very loving and even tempe...

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.

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 ...

• 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...

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...

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.

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.

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 ...

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!

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...

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...

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 ...

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.

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 ...

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!

Meet the Siberian Huskies…Part 8…Sheba

In the summer of 2010, we received an email wondering if we take in rescues.  We took in Akira earlier, and we decided we could still handle one additional Husky.  Rescuing Huskies is something we hope to one day do more of, but currently are very limited.  We currently will only take in puppies that came from us and try to re-home them.  But back to Sheba.  At that time, we thought she would be a good fit as a second house dog.  Her owners came a...

Miya’s puppies turn 6 weeks old today!  They have been given their clean bill of health by our vet, and will be receiving their shots over the next couple days.  They are fully weaned from Miya, and are eating and drinking very well.  They are as cute and playful as can be!

Miya has done very well with the weaning.  Some of the mothers do better than others, and she is one of the better!   Aleu, for example, will whine and cry for days.

Chance went along on the vet visit with Miya’s...

What do I feed my husky??

With Miya’s puppies soon going to their new homes, we felt a good topic for today’s “TechTalk” would be feeding your husky.  When you bring home your new husky puppy, obviously you need to stop and get some food.  Many ask us what we have been feeding them, so they can get some of the same.  (It’s not good to abruptly switch foods).  Normally we use “4-Health” brand Puppy Food, which we consider to be a very good brand, and we provide a few meals wor...

 Monday edition of the Sunday Funnies…(again!)

Seems like the computer issues at home just don’t want to go away.  We may be heading for a new one.  Good in some ways, not good in others.   I will have to temporarily suspend weekend posting. It seems only during the week, when I can go into work a little early and use my computer there, can I get a post done.  Oh well…

It’s the first full day of Autumn, as it began Sunday at 4:44pm.  (Can you get it a little more precise?  Like do...

In today’s edition of "Friday Focus", we will do a Cartoon Alter Ego.  This being another re-post about Demon.

From the very beginning, Demon has been tough to figure out.  He certainly hasn’t lived up to his name!  He has always had a very “standoffish” behavior.  Even as a puppy, Demon preferred to be off on his own, and rarely get involved in the running around with the others.  He would on occasion, but mostly he prefers to sit back and watch.  The only theory I can come up with ...

As the summer comes to a close, we prepare for the upcoming autumn and winter.  This is certainly the dogs favorite time of the year, and they already seem to enjoy the nicer weather. 

• Miya's puppies are 5 weeks old now, and are as playful as can be.  They are now at the point of full weaning, and seem to have taken to the 4-Health canned food very well.  Soon, they will be able to the the 4-Health kibble as well.  We will be separating Miya from them today.  She really seems to want a break ...

Akira came to us in the fall of 2009, after a friend of a friend could no longer care for her.  They came for a visit to see how well she would get along with the others, and at first it seemed there would be no issues.  We decided to take her in, and we put her with the others.  It didn’t take long for us to realize however, that Akira was different from any Husky we have or have ever met.  She was very timid, and wanted nothing to do with the others.  The others (especially Daisie) se...

It's "Then and Now" time!
Today, on Thursday Throwback, we will highlight some of our Huskies, as well as some of the puppies we've sold, who have now grown into adulthood.  This feature is called the "Then and Now" photos.

• Also, we remember those who lost their lives in the Benghazi attacks one year ago. 

• We should all take a moment today to bow in prayer for peace on earth.

• Miya’s puppies are 4 weeks old today.  Their vet check appointment is set, and they are to begin the weaning process soon!  One male and one female still remain unsold!

On today’s version of Husky Tech Talk, we will again broach everyone’s favorite subject when dealing with pets:  Fleas

These resilient little creatures are among the most hated insects on earth, and when an infestation occurs, steps need to be taken or they spread very quickly. 

I wrote here about them last year because they came around with a vengeance after no signs of them for several years.  This year, we are feeling some of the residual effects from them.  They are much lower in...

This inspirational story will make you smile, but it is also full of words of wisdom. Many times in life we are like the pot, we see what we can't do rather than seeing what we can do.

 A water bearer in China had two large pots, each hung on the ends of a pole, which he carried across his neck.  One of the pots had a crack in it while the other pot was perfect and always delivered a full portion of water. At the end of the long walk from the stream to the house, the cracked pot arrived only...

Wow...I need to shake the dust off this computer, and get back to the blog!
After some nasty sicknesses that rampaged through our home, it's finally "get back on track" time!  Instead of the Sunday Funnies, today will be a simple update. 

• Miya's puppies are coming up on four weeks old.  They all have blue eyes, and are doing well.  It's almost time for their vet visit, and also to start the weaning process.

Siberian Huskies are NOT human! 

As I was out watching the dogs the other day, I noticed (as I have many times before) that they all seem to want to eat anything.  So today I thought I’d touch on something that basically is to remind us that Siberian Huskies (and dogs in general) are not human.  Sounds pretty straight forward I know, but when you think about it, we all need to be reminded once in a while.

By nature, dogs are almost scavengers.  If you’ve ever sat and watched a dog be...

Happy Labor Day Everyone!
To celebrate this long weekend, I took a day off from writing.  (because I'm allowed, that's why!)
So this weeks Sunday Funnies come to you on  Monday

• After a LONG week plus of hot, humid days, it seems relief is in sight.  The dog days are upon us.  Hopefully with September now here, fall will be in the air!  One thing is for certain, if the muggy days and nights aren't enough to tell the story, then the singing cicada's definitely are.  For whatever reason, they like ...

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...

I've decided to add the Cartoon Alter Egos to the Friday Focus category.  Seems to be a better fit.  :-)
Today, I will start by re-posting the very first one, Denali.  Those of you that have read this one, please bear with us as others catch up.

Denali’s chosen alter ego is the bumble snow monster from the classic seasonal cartoon “Rudolf the Red-Nosed Reindeer”.  Besides the obvious fact that they are both white, they shared other similar qualities.  In the beginning of the cartoon, bu...

An introduction to a new featured category...Thursday Throwback!
Over the past several years, we have taken literally hundreds and hundreds of photos of our Huskies and we've also received many photos of the puppies we have sold as they grow.  This category will feature those pictures.  Ahhh the Memories!!  We hope you enjoy!

1) Kisses from Kallen - Baby Kallen gives Holly Kisses on a hot summer day:


2) Maverick and Miya - In a purely happenstance meeting, Maverick (on the left, from Daisie and...

• Miya’s puppies are now two weeks old.  They are starting to open their eyes, and get up on all four legs and walk around.  They are really cute at this point, watching them try to walk.  They are all well fed and doing well.

• As of now, 4 males have been sold, with one male and one female still to go.  Click HERE to see pics!

• Meanwhile, on the non-Husky front, the ducks from the fair are getting ready for processing on Saturday.  They were big ducks at the fair, but now they are like Than...

Brush it out, comb it out, blow it out…but NEVER cut it, or worse, shave it!

This is a re-post from a while back.  In light of a recent conversation, I thought it would be good to post again. 

Siberian Huskies are notorious shedders.  Their coats consist of two layers.  An inner coat and an outer coat.  The softer inner coat serves as an insulator for the cold of winter, making them able to withstand temperatures as low as 50-60 degrees below zero!  The more coarse outer coat serves tw...

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.  ...

Meet the Siberian Huskies, Part 6…Peyton

Like I mentioned last week in the segment focusing on Miya, we decided to expand the pack, and found Miya and her sister Peyton.  They both came to us around Christmas of 2010.  While Miya has the ice blue eyes, Peyton had deep brown eyes.  It was quite a noticeable contrast from the start. The other big difference was the personality.  Miya seemed more playful, and Peyton seemed more relaxed.  As a puppy, she was more content on your lap than any...

Today's post is simply a few short words and the first pictures of Miya and her puppies.  They are now over one week old, and are doing well.



Miya standing guard over her pups.  Although she has a leash, this is actually one of the only times they likely don't need one.  We play it safe, but mama doesn't run from the puppies.  She sticks around and closely guards them.



Close up of the puppies.  Five boys, and one girl.  And as a bonus, one is posing for the camera!

Wednesday Weekly Update for 8-21-13

• The day has come!  Miya’s puppies were born on 8-14, as mentioned in a previous post.  A small litter by Miya’s standards, but average in general.  Six total puppies, 5 male and 1 female.  They are all gray and white, some darker than others.  We anticipate that most or all will have blue eyes, but it’s possible that we could see a brown eye or two.

• They are now one week old, and are doing very well.  All are eating well with big appetites and are...

One of the most commonly asked questions when people come to look at and choose a puppy is, “How will you be able to tell them apart?”  or  “Are you sure you will be able to tell which one is mine when we pick him/her up?”  The answer is yes we can, but it is not easy.

Some litters are easy to distinguish.  An example of this is Rose’s litter from early 2013.  Six puppies, four different color combinations and the ones that were the same were 1 male and 1 female.

There are times...

I’ve listened to many of the top motivational speakers over the past 15 years…Tony Robbins, Earl Nightingale, Brian Klemmer, and many others, but my favorite is the great Zig Ziglar.  He has a multitude of different motivational and instructional series’, but in particular, I like the “How to Stay Motivated” series.  Many of his most classic quotes are included in this series, although he also indicates throughout that his quotes may come from other sources.  Over the years, I’ve ...

My apologies for not having a "Saturday Stories" edition this week. Computer issues prevented our normally scheduled post.  Blogging can be exceptionally difficult when you don't have a reliable computer!  Oh well...Viruses are a part of everyday computer life and we must deal and move on.

Today for the Sunday funnies, I have a series of snippets.  Observing their zany antics can be difficult when there is a lot to be accomplished.  That was the case during this entire week as we worked while ...

Meet the Siberian Huskies, Part 5…Miya

Miya came to us around Christmas of 2010, along with her sister Peyton.  After the original 5, we decided that it truly was our destiny to be breeders of this magnificent dog.  Our combination of God-given talents made us suitors to take on the responsibility of helping others enjoy the Husky.  It was time to expand the pack and Miya and Peyton were the perfect additions.  Miya is a beautiful gray and white Siberian Husky with ice blue eyes.  She ha...

We anticipated Miya could have her puppies at any time, as mentioned in yesterday's blog.  She had the litter of 6 last evening!  They are all gray and white, with varying shades.  Five of them are males, and 1 is a female.  Three of them appear to be the lighter shade of gray and white like Kallen.  The other three appear to to a darker shade like Miya.  All are well, and Miya appears to be finished with her labor.  We will keep everyone posted and soon have a group picture.  Individual pict...

Now that the fair is winding down, it's time to get back to regular post!

This week on Tuesday Tech Talk, I felt it was time to re-visit the issues concerning dog foods.  Many of you have seen this information, but it also serves as a reminder.  In the coming weeks, we will dig deeper into which foods we recommend and which ones we don’t.

Animal Digest

What is Animal Digest, and is it good or bad for my dog?

Ever look at the ingredients on a bag of standard over-the-counter dog food?  S...

In lieu of there being no Sunday Funnies (as well as Thurs, Fri, and Sat posts) this week due to the fair, today’s post, instead of Monday Motivation, will be notes and tidbits from observations I made at the fair over the weekend.

• Not saying there is anything wrong with this, but you will not find a larger collection of pick-up trucks and John Deere caps assembled in one location than at the county fair!

• People come to the fair for a variety of reasons.  To show animals, for other co...

Wednesday Weekly Update for 8-7-13

• Miya is now really starting to show.  We figure her due date to be in the vicinity of August 18-20. She has been officially moved to the birthing stall.  I am not sure she likes the solitude at this point, but at the day approaches, she will be glad.

• The summer coat blowing season is finally in the homestretch.  Only Demon and Denali are still in process, and they are both at about 75% complete.  Kallen and Miya don’t seem to want to lose much this yea...

I recently read a lot about individuals asking how to stop their two huskies from fighting with each other.  It got me to thinking about what is considered an actual fight, and what is more rough play.  There IS a difference.  Did I emphasize that enough?  A HUGE difference.  And you really don't know the difference until you know the difference. 

I will warn everyone reading this that this is not for the faint of heart.

First, let me explain the levels:

1)       Level One -- Normal Pla...

The Story of the Chinese Bamboo Tree.

Many have heard the story of the Chinese bamboo tree.  I’ve heard variations, but they all boil down to the same philosophical lesson.  As the story goes, to plant a bamboo tree, you take a 12-15 inch stalk from an existing tree.  You dig a hole, and plant it standing up, covering it completely. 

Bamboo trees typically exist in rain forests.  The reason for this is they must be watered daily, and kept moist.  Now, I don’t know all the exact detai...

It's time again for the Sunday Funnies as we are getting ready for the upcoming fair.  The dogs were out as usual, and were being their normal goofy selves. 

• All the dogs are out except Miya, who is pregnant and has an attitude.  Which is typical.  She was out with me on a leash and we were walking around the fenced area.  Lots of growling but Miya was safe outside the fence.  Or should I say the others were safe inside.  If I let her in, there would surely be a fight.  More on that subject i...

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”...

Meet the Siberian Huskies, Part 4…Denali and Demon

In today’s edition of “Friday Focus”, we will focus on both Demon and Denali.  Since they are brothers, their stories are similar.   In February of 2009, we started looking to expand the pack by adding another male.  We wanted to stay with AKC, and in our searches we found Denali and Demon.   We were actually looking for a black and white Husky, and found Demon.  When we went to pick him up, we discovered that an all-white Husky wa...

Today is Akira’s turn for a Cartoon Alter Ego.  Akira came to us via rescue in 2009.  Her previous owners brought her to us when one became allergic.  Originally, we put her with the other dogs in the stalls, but realized quickly that she was not fitting in.  Her extremely friendly and timid nature did not mesh well with the others who wanted to play aggressively.  At the time, we had no Huskies in the house, and decided she would be a good fit there.  Now 5 years old, Akira has become a ...

• It’s been an uneventful week here at the farm.  It’s the “calm before the storm” week if you will.  Next week the fair begins, and most of the preparations have been made.  So now we wait.

• The hay field was cut for the second time this past week.  We split the hay 50/50 with the guy that cuts and bales it.   Last year, it was cut four times and due to a dry summer, our share was only about 180 bales total.  This year, it’s been a very good season so far.  In two cuts, we already ec...

In light of a couple conversations I had recently, I felt it would be a good time today on Tuesday Tech Talk to re-visit the need for rescuing Huskies.  On occasion, we get calls from various individuals wanting us to take in their Husky.  There are a variety of reasons it may be needed.  The Husky was found, the owner was not aware of the pitfalls of owning a husky, and sometimes even because of the Husky’s natural predatory instincts are causing issues of local animals.  Whatever the ca...

Or at least a trial size after a very busy weekend.  Jenna's soccer team had one last Summer soccer tournament this weekend.  So most of the weekend (for Jenna and me anyway) was spent on the road.  So after no Saturday post, I will try to get in an abbreviated Sunday post!  (Ok...enough excuses!)

• One thing that was accomplished this weekend was taking down Zach's fort in the dog's play area.  Holly has been using it as her perch to peek into the back window since it went up a couple months ag...

Meet the Siberian Huskies, Part 3…Daisie

Daisie was our third Siberian Husky, and our first AKC Pedigree.  She came to us in July of 2008.  We quickly learned that her personality was a bit different than Holly and Brutus.  She was more moody, aggressive (toward other animals only), and domineering.  Daisie and Holly have always seemed to be in competition with each other over human attention.  If one is getting it, the other comes running.  Unlike Holly, Daisie has a desire to be a lapd...

Our segment today in “Cartoon Alter Egos” will focus on Kallen.  Kallen is about a year and a half old, but still very much in the puppy stage.  I guess you could say he is a dog teenager.  While most Husky puppies are very playful and bounce around a lot, Kallen seems to have it down to a science!  To Denali, Demon, and the older females, he is the “annoying little brother” that always wants to hang out with the big kids.  To Nadia and Chance, he is the “mean older brother” and i...

It’s time again for the Wednesday Weekly update:

• Miya is starting to show.  She is in her 5 week of pregnancy, and depending on the size of the litter, that is usually the point where they start to swell up enough to notice.  With smaller litters (like Aleu’s litters), sometimes it is difficult to tell until about 6-7 weeks.  Both of Miya’s litters have been on the larger side, and we anticipate this will be the same.  The fact that she is swelling a little at this point tells us she...

I pulled the following excerpt from the internet, and thought it was good information based on the heat this summer.  It's important to pay close attention to our dogs!

"Dogs pant to regulate body temperature, as dogs have fewer sweat glands than humans, and most of their sweat glands are located along the base of their feet.  By panting, a dog can cool the mouth and tongue, along with blood which is circulated through the head, keeping body temperature at a safe and normal level.  Althoug...

The Desire for Air

Plato's mentor was Socrates. Plato thought Socrates was the wisest person of this time and he passionately desired to learn all of Socrates' wisdom.
Legend has it that one day Socrates and Plato were walking down the beach deep in conversation. At one point, Socrates said to Plato, "Walk with me into the ocean." They turned and walked into the sea together.
Now, in your imagination, picture that happening:  Student and teacher, two of the greatest philosophers of histo...

Another very hot day, even though they kept promising lower temps and humidity.  Dogs were out as usual, but the activity is a little lower during the heat and humidity.  In addition to a few little items I picked up on between chores, I will add something this week I will call Sunday Snippets as part of the Sunday Funnies.  The Snippets will basically be pictures with captions or descriptions.  We have hundreds of pictures of our Huskies on file, and many times they depict the humorous side ...

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...

Meet the Siberian Huskies…Part 2…Brutus

After Holly, we truly realized how much we loved the Siberian Husky Breed.  We decided it was time to expand the pack.  Our second Siberian Husky was Brutus.  Brutus was our only CKC registered Husky.  CKC is the “Continental Kennel Club”.  We really didn’t know the ins and outs of kennel clubs at the time, so we didn’t think it made much of a difference.  Holly was non-registered, and we were wanting to be certain all of them from that p...

It's time for another "Cartoon Alter Ego."  Today Chance gets the nod.  Most of our readers know of the issues that Chance has had to deal with throughout his young life.  He is the son of Holly and Kallen, born 3-18-13.  He was one of 10, which is a very large litter.  Chance was born with a condition called a “Persistent Right Aortic Arch”.  Basically, this means his esophagus was wound with a band of tissue that prevented anything but liquids from going down.  Surgery was needed to c...

Weekly update on what’s happening down on the farm:

• It’s been an extremely hot week!  With more still to come, extra care is being taken to aid in the comfort level of the pack.  Fans are going at full strength, water in their pool is being freshened with cold water more often, and a bowl of water containing electrolytes is on hand.  The activity level is down during heat waves.  They pretty much run to the pool, splash around, run back to the shade and lay down.  Then repeat as needed...

On our first “Tuesday Tech Talk” segment, we will start with something relatively simple.  Obviously Huskies (or dogs in general) need hydration.  While it’s obvious that during these hot months it’s especially true, it is also true throughout the rest of the year as well.  One tip we try to utilize as often as possible is to save any unused broth when boiling any type of meat.  Many times we will boil chicken for a particular recipe.  If the broth isn’t needed, we simply put it t...

Keep a Positive Outlook -- A View from the World of SpongeBob

SpongeBob, Squarepants.  Anyone with children has likely seen this gem of a cartoon.  In my opinion, it’s one of the greatest ever created.  If you’ve seen it, bear with me while I introduce the rest of our readers  The setting is at the bottom of the ocean, in a place call “Bikini Bottom”.  SpongeBob Squarepants is a sea sponge that lives in a pineapple house.  While they never go into his age, you assume he is around 1...

It’s time for more Sunday Funnies and observations after doing the Sunday Morning chores.  Our Sunday Mornings are not typical of most.  After early church, or church on Saturday night, we are up and at ‘em to get busy on chores.  This time of year especially.  It is much cooler at 8am than during the later parts of the day.   The dogs are out during chores.  It’s easy to keep an eye on them while we work. 

• The first thing we typically do when they come out is the removal of the fur...

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...

Meet the Siberian Huskies…Part 1…Holly

Our first Siberian Husky was Holly.  To this day, she is our most active and athletic dog.  We noticed early on that that she also seemed to take charge when out playing.  Whenever she runs, the others tend to follow her.  She seems a natural leader.  My belief is she would make a great lead dog on a sled team.   Holly is also very smart tends to be stubborn.  She is without a doubt, our chief escape artist.  Since Siberian Huskies love to run so ...

Welcome to the re-birth of our blog!  We are Frosty Meadow Husky Farm. 

Siberian Huskies are among the most beloved breeds of dog in existence.  Several years ago, after purchasing our first Huskies, we decided we would learn all we could about the breed, and breed them in a very responsible manner.  We have accomplished a lot of our goals, and have become one of the most recommended Husky Breeders in our region.  We accomplished this by simply caring for the Huskies we own, and more impo...

It's been a while since my last post.  I took a couple weeks to gather my thoughts and look at the best way or ways to continue to write this blog.  After a week away on vacation, I am ready to launch the new blog details!  Likey on Wednesday, I will post the "Inaugural post".  I re-vamped the categories and have hopes that others will contribute ideas and stories to the various categories.  Details on this will come in the inaugural post, but basically I am hoping to hear stories, etc from o...

This time of the year is the shedding or “molting” season.  It’s that time all Husky owners are either familiar with, or will be soon enough.  It also starts the age old argument about what is the best way to get rid of the fur or what is the most effective tool.  Do you brush it out?  Comb it out?  Blow it out?  Let nature take its course? 

Well, in my opinion, yes, yes, yes, and yes.

Is it best to use specific tools such as the “Furminator”, the shedding rake, a regular hair ...

Today, we a special visit from Dante, one of Holly's puppies (Denali the father) from last summer.  Thanks to Chris and April for the visit.  It's always great to have visits from all the puppy owners.  Dante played in the dogs play area with Holly, Akira, Nadia, and Rose, as well as brief visits from Chance.  We wanted to let them all out to play with Dante, but were limited because both Daisie and Miya are in the middle of their heat cycles.  They would cause problems, and also the other ma...

We here at Frosty Meadow Farms remember all of those who have served or are serving our country, and especially those who have fallen or have been injured protecting our freedoms.  As we celebrate with the typical cookouts and parties, we also take time to let the dogs have their fun.  It was a beautiful weekend here at the farm, and everyone enjoyed the outdoors. 

Here is a picture of the bloom of the poplar trees.  We have several here at the farm, and they are great to look at in the s...

Well, this weekend has been difficult to get a post up, due mostly to our computer malfunction.  (It's difficult to function in this world without one we've found!)  Plus, an out-of-town soccer tournament added to the lack of time this weekend.  We did manage to work in the chores as well as the dogs play time.  Inaddition, we finally got started on the yardwork that is LONG overdue.  Heather really busted her tail on that!  (Thank you!!)  From Thursday to Saturday, seven of Holly's 10 pups f...

Today was a very rainy and miserable day here at the farm, so the dog’s time out to play was limited.  In lieu of today’s edition of “The Sunday Funnies”, I thought it would be a good time to explain Chance’s condition a little further.  I will include a picture or two from our vet which shows what had to be removed.  Originally, we thought it was the Aorta wrapped around the esophagus.  The term “Persistent Right Aortic Arch” led us down that path.  However, we learned that it ...

This is day 2 post op. He has had off and on vomiting since his surgery. He is not tolerating the antibiotic and I think the Vet will change it today. The Vet has decided another day of doggie daycare is needed. While at the Vet’s office yesterday he made it known that he does not like being in a kennel and would howl and cry until they got him out. He was held by the staff all day yesterday and I’m sure it will be the same today. What a spoiled boy! He is such a sweet, playful boy. He do...

Baby Chance went in to the vet today for his surgery.  Things went well,  and we are cautiously optimistic about his prognosis.  We spoke with the Vet who said Chance pulled through the surgery like a trooper! The surgery took 2 ½ hours. His esophagus is stretched due to holding the milk and he may have to have a future surgery to fix it. The vet is hoping the pouch in his esophagus will shrink on its own. She didn’t want to fix it just in case it does shrink then his esophagus would be to...

We had a nice surprise today at the farm when we got a text from Rob and Tonya saying they were in the area and would stop by.  Cheyenne and Nadia (sisters) had a lot of fun chasing each other around, playing on the trampoline, and in the pool.  It was good to see and talk to Rob and Tonya, who are truck drivers (over the road) and occasionally are in the area.  Nadia still is about 10 lbs lighter than Cheyanne, and most likely the rest of her siblings. 
Great to see you guys!

Sunday Funnies (or today, maybe we should call it “The week in review”)

·         It was a chilly but very nice weekend here at the farm.  The dogs certainly had their chances to play, but a very busy weekend kept the normal observations to a minimum.  Most of my time while they were out was spent doing farm chores.

With no success in our attempts to feed him, we decided it was time for a vet visit.  He was taken in this evening, and they performed a Barium Swallow Xray on him, and discovered that he had a "persistent right aortic arch".  In layman's terms, he was born with his aorta wrapped around his esophogus and pinching it off.  It is open just large enough for a liquid diet, and therefore had no trouble growing older on mother's milk. 
Unfortunately, the only fix is surgery.  It is a very ri...

Nine of the ten of Holly’s puppies are now officially sold, and they are now at the weaning age.  Since Holly had a litter of 10, (very large) we begin our weaning process a little sooner.  We began that process last Thursday.  We are happy to report that the nine puppies that are sold are doing wonderfully on the “4-Health” soft food.  (Our brand of choice for puppies) As a whole, they are all a little thinner than normal, but with a litter that large it actually becomes “no...

·         For the third weekend in a row, it’s been difficult to get though the normal blog routine.  The “Saturday Stories” was once again pre-empted by an unforeseen circumstance.  Saturday itself was quite eventful, including the addition of our newest horse “Buffalo Hunter”, or “Hunter” as we call him.  This was a big event, but it was overshadowed by the Appendicitis flare-up that overcame Jenna, my daughter.  I am certainly happy to report that she is doing well...

Today was the first puppy picture day at the farm for Holly’s litter.  Aleu’s will follow soon.  Many times we are asked, “How do you tell them apart, and know which one I picked?”  It is a VERY valid question.  Some litters are very easy, and others are very difficult.  An example of an easy one was Rose’s recent litter.  There were 6 puppies in all.  Two were all-white, one male, one female.  No problems there!  One of the remaining four was red and w...

In lieu of being out of town last weekend and this weekend being Easter, I took the opportunity to jot down my notes and observations while watching the dogs as they play.  They run and play on a regular basis, but only on occasion do I get the opportunity to observe and take notes.  Today, Zach and I were out practicing golf shots while they played. 

·         Aleu and Holly are limited in their time out, mostly because they don’t want to go out.  Typical for new mothers.  It u...

Due to a out of town soccer tournament, There was no renditions of "Saturday Stories", or "Sunday Funnies" this week.  Thanks go out to Taylor and Meranda for tending to the animals in our absence, and a great job goes out to Jenna's soccer team even though they didn't quite make the championship game.  
Hopefully, everything will get back to normal now.

As we woke up this morning, we expected it to be the day that we said goodbye to all of Rose's puppies, and that was the case.  However, it turned out to be Goodbye to Rose's pups and Hello to Aleu's!  Aleu gave birth this morning to 5 puppies.  Three were all white, and two were black and white.  The white one are male, and the black and white are female.  I suppose the fact that the two black and white are female is a good thing, because out of Holly's 10, only two were female.  So Holly an...

The excitement of Holly's puppies is dwindling down.  Time to again focus on getting Rose's puppies ready for their new homes.  Today was vet visit day.   All puppies had their physicals and shots, as well as another dose of worm medication.  They will start heading for their new homes tomorrow!
Update on Aleu:
She is appearing more and more pregnant! Likely a small litter as I mentioned before, but we are still happy to see the progress.  
Meanwhile, the others had their normal active day out. ...

Today I am combining the post from 3-18 and 3-19, because it has been a VERY busy day at the farm!  We finally get to announce the arrival of Holly’s puppies!!  Labor began yesterday around noon, and after a long day, evening, and night, she had 10 puppies in the end!  We believe she is done, but will update if that number changes.  They are all black and white, with a couple having some gray.  All of Holly’s puppies to date have been black and white regardless of father.  This...

A happy St. Patrick’s Day to everyone!   Time for another rendition of the Sunday funnies.   (Well, I see the funny, if no one else does)  J

·         Holly is officially as big as a house!  If she has fewer than 8 puppies, I will be surprised.  I am surprised, however, that she has not yet given birth.

·         Meanwhile, over in the direction of Aleu, the jury is still out.  She seems to now be getting bigger.  She has always been difficult to figure out.  She has ...

Well, Nadia failed the test today.

Up to this point, she has been left in the house overnight and during the day when no one is here.  Both Nadia and Akira come in overnight.  Akira is fully house trained, but Stink is only about 80% there.  If someone is here, no problem.  We let her out as needed.  Overnight is still a little too long for her so we put down a puppy pad.  She knows to go only there.  During the day, we simply let out Akira.  As a Husky, Akira is….well….differe...

There is nothing to report today, other than that there is nothing to report.  :-)
We are still patiently waiting on Holly, and still holding onto hope that Aleu is also going to have pups.  Rose's puppies are pdoing great, and very playful as is typical!  We just sent out the 5-week picture updates, and plan on updating the pics on this site soon.
Happy Birthday to our son Zach, who turns 12 today!  Zach has been my "right hand man" for some time now.  As he gets older, I hope to contin...

·         Holly is ready to give birth.  Here she is lying inside her box.  Usually, she comes running when anyone comes out.  This will be Holly’s 4^th litter, so she is likely to only have one more before retiring her.  At this point, we have not ruled out a 6^th, but that would absolutely be the last.  It will depend on her health and our vet’s opinion.  She has been a great mother, and has produced some of the best puppies! 

·         We will certainly keep at least 1, mayb...

Sunday Tidbits and observations!

·         It’s great to see a nice snowfall.  No doubt the dogs love that.  With every snowfall however, comes the eventual melt off.  Today was 60 degrees, and while the warmth is wonderful, the tradeoff is MUD!

·         It is an absolute mess out here, and the dogs really don’t mind a bit.  Sometimes I think they like it better than snow.

·         Oh, and joyous news!  What better to follow up a slopfest with the prediction...

·         The snow didn’t disappoint.  At least the dogs.  We got about 6-8 inches.  Akira and Nadia went out this morning and were running around having a great time.  I think they forgot they had to do their business.  Too much fun! 

·         This was Nadia’s first real snowfall that she got to play in.  For the storm after Christmas, she was only about 4 weeks old, and didn’t get to play in it.  She had a BLAST!  The rest of the dogs will get to play this afternoo...

·         Not much activity today.  Getting ready for the big snow storm.  Right now, it is a cold rain, to the point of a very good soaking.  Makes for a very sloppy premises. 

·          I was out in the barn for a period of time, and let some of the dogs out to keep me company.  Of course I have to close up the barn entirely, make sure the cats are out, and the chickens are in their pen.  Holly, Daisie, Aleu, Kallen, and Miya all joined me at different times.  Usually no more t...

·         Rose’s pups are getting chubby.  They are getting around well.  They like the warmth of the box with the heat lamp, but they also love to run around and play everywhere else too.  They will be 4 weeks on Wednesday, so in another week or so they will be weaned.   

·         Rose broke the heat lamp, and shorted out the entire barn.  Finding my way through the dark and solving the problem proved to be a fun task. L

More random thoughts and observations as Heather and I take care of chores while the dogs are out playing and Aria is in her pasture:

1)      If I wasn’t certain Nadia was Daisie’s puppy, I would be convinced she was Holly’s!  The two are very similar.  The snack today while they played was carrots.  Yes they love carrots!  If there is food present of any kind, Holly and Nadia are always first in line.  They both have “the stare”.  They all love the snacks, bu...

Looking back over the last several months, I’ve been reflecting on the many deaths to our animals.  It started with Grace, one of our horses, and then a while later it was a series of dogs.  Sheba, Brutus, and Peyton, and then came Eddie, our house cat.  And then this past week when Dan, another horse passed away.  It’s very easy to lose focus and wonder if it’s all worth it.  But then I went out to see Rose’s puppies and it made me realize the lives that were brought...

March is finally here!  It came in like a lion.  (cold/rain/snow/nasty)  By rule, this means it goes out like a lamb.  (warmer, sunny) (hopefully!)  Akira and Nadia were running around in circles outside, long enough to almost wear a pattern in the grass.  One thing is for certain…come springtime, we will need to fertilize the dog area and also the horse pasture.  Probably even spread some grass seed.  Winter usually takes its toll on the grass in the animal areas.  It should...

It was a very busy weekend here at the farm.  In a 4 day span, all 6 of Rose's puppies were officially sold.  They are not even two weeks old until tomorrow (2-20) so they will remain with us for several more weeks.  In addition to going through the normal preparatory process for Rose's puppies, we are getting ready for Holly's litter and Aleu's litter in mid-March. 
Thanks to all the new puppy owners!

As expected, Rose gave birth to her puppies late last night! There were 6 total, 4-female and 2-male. Colors were very interesting. Two were white with a light tannish red tint, two were gray and white and looked a lot like Kallen, but the other two had interesting mixes of gray and red. As they get older, we will be able to tell better whether they grow toward red and white, wolf gray and white, or the very rare sable and white, which is red roots and gray/black tips. Pictures soon!!

As mentioned in a previous post, we are coming up on our next round of puppies.  Rose is expected to have her first litter in week or so.  Rose had her first heat cycle very early. (At around 6 months!)  Normally, the first comes 8-12 months, but Rose was an early bloomer.  There was some miscommunication over who the Father was going to be between Heather and myself.  I thought she had said it was Demon, but in our discussions she told me it wasn't him, but rather Kallen.  I did not think Ka...

Happy Birthday to Daisie and Denali's pups from Last January! Born 1-23-12.
Zoey, Shemiah, Nova, Mya, Svetlana, Max, and Saphira. One year old today!

Also, today is also the 6-month birthday of Miya and Denali's litter from July 23rd, 2012. (Maylin, Zeus, Vader, Yuki, Dax, Naia, and one other)

All of Daisie and Denali's third litter of puppies have been sold, and the last will go to their new homes later today.  Thanks to all the new puppy owners!  It brings us indescribable happiness seeing the new puppy owners joy when picking up their pup!  All of the new owners throughout all of our litters have been great!

Daisie had her pups on Thanksgiving day!  (Denali was the sire) She had 10 beautiful Black and White and All White Siberian Husky Puppies, (4-black and white and 6-all white.  One of the black and white puppies was a runt, and we are happy to report that at three weeks she (and all the others) are doing very well!  We decided to keep the runt, and are debating over a name.  Six of the remaining nine have been sold, with 2-male all white and 1-female all white remaining.  (Click here for pictu...

We lost a very dear member of the family 11-17-12. I went out yesterday morning as I usually do to let the dogs out to play, when I discovered Brutus had died in the overnight hours. We brought Brutus to our vet for an autopsy to figure out what had happened, mainly to make sure it was not a contagious disease that the others could contract. The vet determined that Brutus’ digestive tract had malfunctioned, and he was completely backed up and had internal bleeding. Since there were no ext...

Sadly, Sheba, our oldest Husky that we took in as a rescue in 2010, passed away on 10-12-12 after complications from cancer, and her resulting leg amputation.  She spent her final years comfortable and serene, and we felt she enjoyed her time with us. 
She will be missed!

It's been a whirlwind the last couple months here at Frosty Meadow Husky Farm!  It all started back in late July.

* Upon arriving home from vacation in late July, Aleu and Miya both gave birth to their litters of puppies, followed by Holly 2 weeks later.
* In early August, we were swamped with activity due to the Miami County Fair, and visits to the farm by future puppy owners.
* September brought us the 2nd Annual Husky Reunion, plus the continuous flow of future puppy owners.
* Sophie was re-lo...

This weekend (9-15) we are hosting our 2nd annual "Husky Family Reunion".  What seemed like an unorthodox event at first, seems to have caught on!  Attendance this year promises to be much higher.  We will post a new page in the coming weeks, reflecting pictures, etc.
Our hope is everyone has a great time!

I haven't been on the site here much for the past few weeks due to being busy, busy with the Miami County Fair.  Behind the scenes, things couldn't be more active!  Aleu had her first litter of puppies on 7-19-12!!  Demon was the father. She had 4 total, 3 black and white, and one all white.  The all-white was male, and there were 2 B&W males, 1-female. These are non-registered purebred huskies, meaning there will be no papers included.  Three of the four are sold as of this writing, with one...

This will be a very busy late summer, early fall at the farm!  Aleu gave birth to her litter of four puppies, and Miya had a litter of 8.  We are expecting Holly's in the next week or so.  All that in addition to getting ready for the Miami County Fair!  You can follow the progress here or on the puppy pages, as well as by "liking" us on Facebook @Frosty Meadow Farms.

The new window project is underway!  This photo shows Miya looking out her new window, with Daisie trying to do the same in the next stall. Daisie and the rest will soon have their own, as I will be adding them throughout the rest of the summer. They really enjoy the view, and the entertainment value of the occasional cat that walks by! ;-)
Continue reading ...

Update on the upcoming litters:
Miya is coming along nicely as expected, and should have her litter around 7-20 to 7-24.  We are hopeful for Aleu, as she is indeed gaining weight, but still remain cautious.  It is still too early to tell for Holly and Sophie.  Be sure to contact us to set up a visit to the farm, or to be put on the waiting list.  Click on our "Contact Us" link to obtain our contact information, or to fill out the contact submission request.

This past weekend, (June 2nd) we had our annual hog roast.  For the average Siberian Husky this means best day ever because it means oodles and oodles of scraps and leftovers!  Here at Frosty Meadow Farms it was no different.  The roaster was cooking right outside their play area, and of course they spent a lot of time sitting and drooling.  They were not disappointed.  There was certainly enough to go around, and it was heaven on earth to them!

Siberian Husky Puppies :
Meanwhile, on the puppy ...

Peyton's puppies have all been sold.  They are now 5 weeks old, and are getting ready to go in for vet check.  They are eating the puppy food well, and look to be ready soon!

Peyton had a litter of seven puppies on April 10th.  They are all black/gray and white, 4-males, and 3-females.  Peyton and the pups are doing well.  Peyton seems a little more protective than the others were, so we are giving her a little space for a while.  We will continue to post pictures and keep everyone up to date as the days go by.

The dogs have some new neighbors!  We finally brought our horses back to our property.  They were temporarily being stalled elsewhere until we got situated. They will only be in the barn until the spring projects are complete, which include their own barn and section of the pasture. One of the horses, Dan, is used to the dogs. He has been around them a lot in the past.  We got a new horse, Paisley, so she has to get used to them.

The puppies will be 6 weeks old on Monday, March 5th!  They had their vet visit last week and all are in great health.  They will all receive their shots today, and be ready to go. 
Thanks again everyone!  Remember to join us in our Facebook group for tips and support. 
Stay tuned as we approach spring for the next litters.  We are expecting both AKC and non-registered. 
Also coming in the spring is our annual projects.  This year we are expanding out the back of the barn.  As plans unfold, I...

Daisie and Denali's puppies are 5 weeks old, and are doing great!  The weening process has begun, and they are taking to the puppy food and water very well.  They will be going into the vet this week, and also receive their shots and second de-worm.  As of 2-25, they are sold out.  Be sure to stay tuned to this blog or the puppy pages for the up-coming litters.  We expect both AKC and non-registered in the April/May time frame.
Thanks to all who purchased our puppies!  Be sure to join us in ou...

At two weeks old today, the puppies are all doing very well, and have all opened their eyes.  All seven have blue eyes as expected.

All I can say is it's a good thing that we prepared this past weekend for the birth of Daisie's pups! Yesterday, I mentioned in this blog that it could be any time in the next 10-14 days. Well, they were indeed born last night!! We knew it was possible, but were not expecting it. Our calculations zeroed in on the end of the month, but the Lord works in mysterious ways. This is not the first surprise and probably not the last! They are all healthy and Daisie is as well. Of all of our females, ...

Daisie is really getting big!  Only another 10-14 days until the pups arrive.  Meanwhile, preparations are moving forward.  She certainly loves her accomodations, complete with a pair of heat lamps.  Huskies love the cold to be certain, but also like it when she has both warm and cold spots to use as she pleases.  It's critical the puppies are kept warm. Daisie would do a good job herself, but she needs to take a break from caring for them once in a while. They are born with minimal fur, and ...

It looks like Daisie and Denali are going to have puppies around the end of January.  We weren't sure at first, but were hoping.  Now it looks to be true!  Daisie and Denali have had one other litter together, and had some wonderful puppies!  (Maverick, Sophie, and Bella, among others)  They will be AKC, and likely to be some all-white and some black and white.  Contact us to be put on a waiting list!

We had our first annual Husky Family Reunion on October 22nd.  Not a huge turnout, but it was still fun and very interesting.  To see puppies come back and reunite with their parents was a really neat thing.  It's amazing to see the similarities and the character traits.  This will be an annual event, and we hope it grows and is enjoyed by many more.  We will be posting pictures soon, and already have some posted on our Facebook page.

Sophie's puppies will be 6 weeks on Thursday 8/31/11.  The male has sold and the female is ready to go! 
Miya's puppies are 3 weeks old today!  (8/30/11)  She has seven, 4-females, and three males.  One of the males is sold.  They are AKC pedigree and will be vet-checked, have first shots, be de-wormed, and be ready to go in 2-3 weeks.  They are all black and white, and they all have beautiful ice-blue eyes!  They will go fast!

Sophie had her puppies on Thursday 7/21!  They are AKC, all-white, 1 female and 1 male.  She only had a litter of two.  They will sell for $500 each.  A deposit of $100 will hold the pick of the litter.  Hurry!  They usually sell quickly!

Holly had her puppies on June 7th!  Stay tuned for additional info!!

While we can't be certain this early, we believe Holly is pregnant!  The father is Denali.  Hollies last litter, the father was Brutus, and the puppies were all sweet and fun-loving.  Holly's temperament is VERY sweet, and Brutus is a "gentle giant".  Very calm and tranquil. Denali is not much different than Brutus.  He also has a calm personality.  The biggest difference is color.  Brutus is Black/Gray and White, Denali is all-white.  We expect the puppies to be a mix of black and white and ...

We have new updates to the site that now reflect all of our huskies!  One exception though.  On March 28th, we took in another rescue.  She is actually one of the original litter of puppies by Daisie and Denali.  The owners could no longer care for her due to having to move into an apartment.  Apartments are NOT recommended for owning a Husky!  They are too active, and get bored easily.  She is a beautiful, all white female, and is AKC purebred.  She looks like Daisie, but is all white like D...
