Frosty Meadow Husky Farm, Fletcher, Ohio

• 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!

• She wasn’t happy with having to come back in when the others were out, but it w...

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 ...
