Americano Blue's musher/mushing chat thread

Don't mean to be a ??? Certainslag word used to refer to a certain part of the male anatomy but.....
The word husky is in actuality an English-ish bastardization of the word Chukchi. It's a word used by a group of people in the Eastern part of the Eurasion plate.
I'm almost positive it translates to " Human" in English.
But ya, today we use it to generalize sleddogs.
Darn. Gota go. My baby wants me to hurry. We're gona stay the night with Gramma and Papa.
Catch-up tomorrow
Luv Uz all

Hadlee's full of energy. OMG! She can sprint!! Bear is a 2.5lber I think. Lol, bulky but lean. Then pyro, lean, smart, strong but is not strong with leading, but he'll do it. The heavy weights eat first, hadlee eats after them then the last two eat last. Lol.
I love these guys! Hadley's going to a pet/hunting home. Bears going to a pet home. And the rest are still for sale.
This past few weeks(3month ish

) I've been strong headed and "rude" to my parents. We're fighting 10times a day.
Reason is, dad hates the pups, I think I cought him drink bud light, he's stressed about Christmas
Mom is stressed because, Christmas, job and my grades.
Me because, my puppy I want might not stay, my parents are pressuring me about finals, my rabbitry is being threted. My crush is moving to a new house in feb, and were good friends, but he lost his phone( personl things I can't share) also he can't text me, he's a guy so we can't hang out, he's dating another girl(

) he's in 8th grade I'm in 9th. Urg!! My life sucks! I can't wait for my friends party on New Year's Eve. I'm only nervous cuz I was told by 4guys and 2 girls there gonna get me drunk( I'm 50% ok with this) part of me says go, hoping that my crush is there, part of me says go to have fun. But yeah. My life SUCKS!!


I know many young ladies that had awful, awful things happen when they thought they were gona have a good time.
I've got 100 pigeons, 3 turkeys, 40 rabbits, 2 horses, 30 chickens, a pr of geese, 13 ducks, 16 dogs that depend solely upon me for their caregiving. I also am the father of 6 and grandfather to 6 and a husband, a son a grandson, an uncle, the list is long.
From my experience, alcohol will only make matters worse. If you have enough thinking power to consider " the party" you also enough thinking power to think bout what I just said.
I hope you find a way to deal with your stresses in a more positive manner.
Don't own someone else's issues.

I just found out there is a mushing kennel 12minutes from where we live!!!!

Good for you. You gona check it out?

I know that from experience. One day after school 8 of my chickens were dead. None eaten, just dead. The dogs got a little lesson about not killing the chickens.... If they were hungry, they would've eaten them but they thought it was fun to chase the chickens and then snap their necks.

Yup. Typical. 2 chickens left from 84, 8 rabbits from 69, 7 out of 7 turkeys gone, most of the geese and ducks dead, no Guinea fowl left.
I killed the 4 responsible coming out of my yard with blood, feathers and fur stuck all over them.
My only regret is, 1 was a perfect husky *****, but none of them will kill again.
PS, Sad thing is, probably somewhere there's an innocent little kid or more that hasn't seen or been taught responsible pet ownership and missed their dog till they got another doomed to running around loose all the time, eating dirty diapers, garbage, road kill, drinking antifreeze and sewer water, getting bumped or run over, fighting with other non restrained "little doggies".
This may be a horrible thing to think about, but I've been all over North America and have seen it first hand. It's just the truth, nothing more and nothing less. My hope is 3 young women I barely know will see the way to a better future

Yeah, it's sad. Dog runs away, "let's get another one!" second runs away/gets killed, "let's get another one!" Etc. I was on Craigslist the other day and someone was giving their puppy away after one day because "it didn't work out". I laughed at the person who posted. It just goes to show people have no idea what it means to be responsible.

Lol, I would be packing the BB gun. Or if it's somewhere where there are bigger animals, the 22. A BB into the but will make just about a hodge go away and it doesn't hurt the dog too much. If it's stupid enough to come back, just give it a couple more.

I've invested thousands and thousands of dollars in my dogs.
Some people just get a dog from someone that had a mongrel ***** whelp from a mutt dog and now they're just getting rid of the pups. For the most part these poor dogs are fed once every 3 or 4 days and eat garbage.
I think sometimes when they come after my nice healthy dogs they are just looking with hunger. I have taken to carting a 22 when ever I go mushing. It usually scares them away. If it don't, they never have be scared, or worried, or hungry ever again.

One time when a Rottie/Lab came bounding at us I quickly stopped the sled and let Mikey go. He went went up to the dog sideways kinda scrunching down, tail wagging....very submissive. When the dog rushed him Mikey got him in a choke at the throat and didn't let go till the dog was dead. I didn't dare interfere. I kinda knew what Mikey was like but didn't really. When he let the dog go I said,"Come Mikey, Work." He trotted to his station wagging his tail and waited for me to snap him on. We proceeded another 4miles then came home.
Mikey was a nickname shortened from Mahikun, a Cree word used to refer to canis lupus. Apparently his dad was a timber wolf from the bush around WarLake a small settlement in Northern Manitoba. His mom was a Malamute. She was mean. Thats where Mikey got his meaness from. His mom didn't like anyone except her owner, my buddy Arnold's wife. Mikey comprehended pecking order though and since he was the new comer to the pack he didn't pick any fights with any one and totally loved my kids. Sadly, 2 yrs later he started killing pups and I had him put to sleep.
