So I acquired a new puppy yesterday. My friend got him then realized she couldn't care for him so she brought him to me. He's a red male husky, 6 weeks old. Obviously I am currently brushing up on my Siberian Husky facts and training. I think I may train him to pull (after all, it's in his blood). He's quite vocal so needless to say I didn't get much sleep last night. The little sleep I did get was only cuz I slept with Tonka on the couch...he sleeping NEAR my feet so I'm not sure why it happened, but I suddenly had itchy feet. like insanely itchy feet! but I didn't want to move and wake the little monster up so I tried to deal, DIDN'T WORK! I had to move to scratch my itchy feet and woke him up! DOH! I used to always associate itchy feet with things like athlete's foot (gross) or dry skin and stuff like that. Now I think I most likely associate itchy feet with dogs. weird. he's cute though huh? maybe itchy feet is worth it.
But you AREN'T keeping him RIGHT??? We talked about this (and your stupid friend).
ReplyDeleteI really haven't made a decision abotu anything yet
ReplyDeleteI'm going to train him as if he were mine. and that's really the bottom line here.
ReplyDeleteand fyi, she's NOT stupid. YES she made a bad decision but she relaized it was a bad decision right away and took action. he's not at the pound, he's not on the side of the road, he's with me, I'm certainly not the BEST option in the world but I'm also not the worst. and I'm not perfect but I'm not a total idiot, I don't think, lol
ReplyDeleteThat is the cuuuuuutest dog everrr!!!!!! I think you should keep him. He is absolutely adorable and it would be way better than going to the pound where he would be sad in a little cage
ReplyDeletethanks Gabe! I really don't think I will keep him long term. Its not that I can't but I dont' want to (nothing against Tonka or his breed, but I enjoy being lazy) I am looking at a couple of possibilities for him. My friend's mother owns and trains huskies as sled dogs so I am trying to get into contact with her! but yeah, he's NOT going to the pound or ANYWHERE where he would be stuck in a cage all the time. its just not gonna happen
ReplyDeleteI am happy to report that Tonka has a new home and a wonderful new dad! and the best part is he is good friends with my next door neighbor so we will be seeing him a lot!
