My photo actually wasn’t cropped although I would swear it was 
the girlfriend was trying to get all three of them in one picture and that’s just how it worked. Huskys are a complete mess let alone 3 of them.

Ya thats me after 3 days in the hospital sleeping on that fold out bed lol. I was also very nervous that was our first kid and my first time holding a baby that small. I would only hold him if i was laid down in the bed because i was scared i might drop him if i was standing up lol

I can understand that. I’m not really confident holding a baby until they are about 4-6 months old. I want them to be able to hold themselves a little bit. I love kids as long as they are someone else’s. I have a little niece that’s 4 months now and she’s just as sweet as can be.
Ya four legged kids are alot less stressful.

Thanks. No shedding. Portuguese Water Dog. Can’t keep her out of the pool. True water dog. Great breed. No shedding was one of the main reasons I got her but as a bonus they have no health problems. Live 15yrs. Smart, friendly. All around great dogs. I’m getting another one in a few months when the finances accumulate again. Lacey is 35lb. Females are 35-50. Males are 40-75
They train great. Eager to learn. Lacey can sit, lay down, roll over, stay, heel, high five, fetch(land and water), catch, walks off leash, and I have her trained to wait for permission to cross the street.
Before my divorce I had a neopalitan mastiff and a boxer. I loved those dogs but my house was constantly a mess with drool and hair.

Every one has dogs with fancy pedigrees. My last 5 or 6
dogs have come from the pound. Not really sure what breed they are but they cost less than $40 with all the shots necessary and last about 10 or 12 years. Our rabbits are even pound rabbits. We’ve had some awesome dogs over the years.

I feel guilty for not doing this but when I buy pedigree I feel like I know what to expect. Especially when it comes to life span, shedding, and personal traits. If the dog was an outside dog I wouldn’t care much, but my dogs have always had free range of the house. (After training)
All of our dogs have been inside dogs except the last one. She has some mental defects but we keep them til they die since their family. Our old hound dogs tolerates her but likes it better inside. He made fast friends with @squidskc

Our two dogs were foster “fails”…my wife really wanted to foster puppies for a local rescue and so I caved…we did it for 4 years. About 40 puppies/young adults later I’m officially burned out. Our last one was a pointer/hound mix that we had for 6 weeks…had the energy of a Dalmatian.
Very rewarding work getting dogs out of some rough situations but it’s nice just hanging out with our own dogs and house is much quieter. If we got puppies in twos or threes we’d always name them after movie characters…we had a Hooper, Brody, and Quint together…all lab mixes.

In the last hour our outside dog decided escape was necessary. Couple of weeks ago she dug under the double gate in our wood fence. Filled hole and put gravel over it. Dug thru. Did all that and added cayenne pepper. Dug thru. Put plywood under fence. Now she has dug under the man gate three times in an hour. Comes straight to the front door and howls. Hot sauce. Gravel. Garden hose. Paint ball gun. Nothing. Hard headed and determined.

Try running a hot wire around the bottom. It only takes one time and they figure out it’s not worth it
