Oh? What comment is that?

Just that it was unique and I wanted to know why it was like that

Love your dogs! Guhh!need!!

Thanks. Ya, they are lookers alright. But I think you don't "need". Maybe one to breed Nala, but that's more of a strong want. LOL.
But I know what you mean. My wife hears that from me all the time when I see another good looking Husky for sale somewhere.
Regarding Nala, how is she. Did that Lab get at her? Or another male?

Nutrena Layall Professional 31/20

I really like it for my dogs. We found it after trying to switch to a better dog food for the dogs and found this. Then a few weeks later a musher recommended it.
Just thought I'd share.

Kooleos. II looked at their site. pretty good kibble. I like the "Professional".
No dealer/supplier close to me though so that kinda sucks. I probably would have tried it on 1 or 2 of my dogs as a "trial and compare".
In other news...
GEEZ!!!

......there's still no snow and

it's already the middle of November. I've seen this before tho. I think I was about 14 or so. I've also heard some of the

ones speak of this kinda weather so nothing new really.........apparently. Still sux! tho'.

Nalas in Heat again! Plato can't come back until after Christmas

Nala won't keep her collar on either

I want more pups but only if its to a good lead dog ( non round here lol)

I've not had a husky yet escape from a well adjusted limited slip collar. All of my dogs have worn some form of them since I learned about them.

Sized right, they can't pull their heads out, it won't choke them, and it doesn't pull out far enough to be chewed. I've seen folks use a bit of chain or cable to reinforce the part going to the line so that for sure it wouldn't be chewed.

Nala is not pregnant yet.. Thank goodness!
My brother got kicked out, so Nalas now mine, which doesn't help me non. Now I have to fight my parents on two dogs! Ugh! They ju don't understand me!
Tbh I'm ready to move out! Alabama, Minnesota and Oklahoma sound pretty great right now lol

I prefer the regular circle collar. It's just I need to stay vigilant regarding adjustments. I have used limited slip but I think there was not "limited" enough. I haven't tried BlackIce's....yet. I just orderd a few from paws-E-trax in Ontario. They looked like they had less slip than the others I tried. They're made from the heavier nylon but cost only $5.50Cdn. so not much to throw away if I don't like them.
Of the links you put up I think BlackIce is the better deal for cost effective quality.
I also do not like them snap buckles. I prefer the slide lock.

Aw. I'm sorry to hear about your brother getting the boot. I'm sure the powers that be had their reasons.
I also am empathetic to your plight. I felt the same way. Actually I still do. It just don't matter much now. I have my own pressing concerns. But a least now I can relate to my parents(now that I'm a parent). I didn't (wasn't)back then tho'.
I've always liked Minnesota. Kinda reminds me of home(here). And Michigan too. And some parts of Montana. Ya I've lived there. All 3. But if I had to pick a fave.....Minnesota. Good mushing, lotsa widerness, lotsa hunting.
