Husky everywhere!!!

It's been another couple weeks since his last brush, and oh boy we combed out another dog size pile. But he's so silky smooth after! He's learning to be so calm and laid back for these sessions, they have improved. Now trimming his paws on the other hand was not as successful. We'll have to try more exposure theory. As a dog though, the noise and vibration of the blade could definitely be quite foreign and scary. I get it!

Ryder is amazing on walks. There is so much leash slack. Now, true to husky form, when he hears birds in the bushes, or a rabbit running out, he'll definitely give you a good pull. 


I still say that, yes he talks back, he'll play growl, and he'll howl and yell at you when you leave him. But for a husky, he's quite reserved. He only barks and howls when we leave for work or our grocery trips. But I've checked in on cameras while other dogs are barking out the window and he's completely unphased and passed out. 

We've been working on getting right down to business when we go outside as it's getting cold out and we can't take 5 walks each day. He's been signaling amazing. And when I think maybe it's not, he'll whine softly on top of standing next to the door to really let me know he'd like to go potty. He's truly such a smart pup!

Husky cuddles

Image
  I no words and he's always so close it's hard to get the perfect moment. This is as close as it gets.  He loves to cuddle. He doesn't just need to be near you, or next to you, he needs to smother you with all of his love. Every ounce he has and it's wonderfully overwhelming and perfect for these cold winter days.

Is it spring already?

Look at that longing face. Rain, snow or shine, he is ready for the great outdoors. He's warm enough for that blizzard. Waterproof for the rain, and with some water he can sweat out the warmer days. This Wisconsin weather has truly tested Ryders climate readiness!!  As spring nears, the sound of the birds and the squirrels peaks his curiosity in every bush and tree he sees.  He's ready to explore with his forever family any day now. Then curling up on a doggy bed or by your feet and snuggle up for a rest nap.

Learning Manners

  This boy is true husky I tell ya. The snow gets him so excited. At one point he did the very husky thing and just laid in it. As I'm trying to get back inside as quick as possible. He's a true boy dog, he needs tall things, bushes and tall grass to pee on. He doesn't settle.  He's getting better at manners, eating off of hands. He sits and waits great before meal time and when we let our smaller dog drink out of the water bowl first.  He has learned to drop and wait and sit nice for fetch. He's learning "get down" because he just wants his pets and snuggles he doesn't realize his big paws are just a lot.  He's very smart, stubborn mule husky, but he just needs some positive reinforcement and patience.
