Frosty Meadow Husky Farm, Fletcher, Ohio

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...

• First, let us take a moment to remember the heroes who fell or were injured on this fateful day 12 years ago.  We will NEVER forget!

• 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!

• The heat continues.  Even Peanut ...

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...

• 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. 
• There are still two puppies available.  One of the males, and the female.  Oddly, even...

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...

• 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...
