I know and his excuse, he should have just said,sorry man I just dontbwontnone. Sorry.
Lol
I'm still hoping I get him too,until someone hands the money over, and walks out then door with him. I'll be asking g and bugging my parents for him.

My fav thing to use on my mom is
You guy an almost paid $150 for a mini winner dog for me, but there's Free puppies and we have the same amount of dogs in the house, but I can't keep him?
Mom keeps saying Alyssa no. Lol

I think I'm getting some where with them!

Maybe he thought it would've been rude after he spent 3 hours there. :/ I've been telling my parents that I don't need a husky, that I could use a lab or other large breed but they just avoid the subject.

Lol, thanksnquys.
Wanna here a funny story?
Every time a buyer comes out to looknat the pups, Hank goes over and bites them, then comes and stays by me. Hahahahaha

A good and bad thing, in my opinion. Good: he's protective of you. Bad: if you don't get to keep him, he could get mean to his new owner and then they might have to turn him over to an animal shelter if the problem continues.

Yes. I have many ideas. Some of apparently work pretty good. My favourite is " spend lotsa time" with him or her or them.
Next favourite, use your own words especially for left, right, go and stop.
The more time you and your lead/s spend with each other the more trust you and good faith you gain for/with each-other. More indeed after training and you are both spending more time actually working it.
Good things take time. Better things take more time. Best, most.
Goodluck has very little( if anything) to do with it. Hard work has a great deal to do with it.
Do not be an idle worshipper. Talk is cheap.
If you are somewhat miffed/irritated by my many "coined phrases" let me assure you it's just to drive home the point, "spend lotsa time".

Helpful, thanks.

Thank you for your empathy. If you wish to there are sites you may visit for audio help.
I just checked Burner. The swelling has gone down a wee bit and the discharge of blood and pus has stopped.
Just gona keep an eye on him though.

I might look into that. Learning a few words in other languages can't hurt. Hopefully Burner will be okay. I don't know about up there, but gets are expensive here. Go in for a little check up and BAM! $200+ billed to you. Lol

Ok, I just harnessed up nala and ran her through the yard. With our regular "sled" then with a heavy long board. And the fun part was she was teaching her pups how to be a good dog in harness. they were run along side her! It was a blast.

Aww that's cute.

My dad and my brother watched as I work nala. my brother helped me get our "sled" ready. Later I'm going to put the pups in the sled and have her pull live weight. Lol

Haha I can't imagine the squirmy pups will want to stay in the sled. But good luck.

Nala current harness. I hand made this out of old harnesses, collars and belts.

Very creative, I guess. Make do with what you've got, right? Lol

We haven't had people come look at the pups because my brother has a bad case of strep through.
So well have the 5 for a while.

The pups wouldn't stay in the sled. Lol

Hey guys!! We got 8inches of snow that has been calling my name!!! Lol! 
RezChamp, do you have problems with your dogs eating to fast?? One of mine almost choked to death last night

Ya, sometimes. That's one reason I really like frozen fish.
We're you feeding them kibble?

Right now they are eating a dry food 'stew.' Even with meat though , Meringue inhales it and forgets to chew

I'm happy for you that snow came.
Here it's really cold. Or it feels really cold probably only because it's been so warm lately.
My 16 yr old daughter and I took out my 7 yr old daughter and my 4 yr old niece for a dogsled ride yesterday eve. Man o man these creatures are powerful. Our first curve found Sav(16 yr old) and I both holding the handle and one of the snow hooks while beong dragged in the snow and both little girls upside down in the snow. The sled tipped because Sav knocked me off balance as we were going into the curve. We were both standing on the runners till that point.
My niece wasn't hurt but my baby hurt her back and shoulder. She still wanted to " mush" tho. Just like me, stubborn. We did go for a nice ride after that, short but nice. The little girls got cold. -25*C is a bit cooler than -20*F, definitely not suntanning weather.
Did you go out yet?

I took the leads out yesterday to help pack down the trail. The snow is super light and we had to go over it again today to pack it down some more.
