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...

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:

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...

• 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...
