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 in trouble, Kallen is normally right there in the middle of it.  He is a digger extraordinaire, and is never shy about creating holes.  When in the stall, he becomes bored more quickly than any of the others, and continues to have his own versions of “fun”.  Things (cats etc.) that pass by the window will get his attention immediately, and he will make sure they are certain he sees them.  A water bucket is not safe around Kallen.  Any stall he is in needs to be checked regularly, simply because he will play in his water bucket and ultimately knock it down and spill it.  Most of you have read our “Cartoon Alter Ego” segments, and may have seen where Kallen was compared to Goofy from Walt Disney.  He still fits the bill, but in my opinion, his true alter ego comes from a non-cartoon.  Michael Kelso from “That 70’s Show” is the perfect alter ego for Kallen.  I am waiting for the time when we see Kallen wearing a suit made of firecrackers!

As mentioned with Rose last week, she and Kallen are the official welcoming committee for all new huskies to enter the playground.  Just ask Nadia and Chance!

As time goes by, I am sure Kallen will settle down a little.  He is still very young and full of life and energy.
