Forum Rules | 1. Here we prefer clarity to agreement. Obviously not everyone is going to agree on a topic; here we prefer to talk out our differences in a respectful manner to ensure mutual understanding and respect. 2. Read the Stickies and Announcements. Each sub-forum may have specific rules which trump the Forum Rules in cases where there may be conflicting information. Read the rules of each board before you post so that you are clear on the expectations of the staff. 3. Respect ALL Staff and Admins. These people volunteer of their time and MUST be respected as well as their word adhered to. They are responsible for maintaining a free, open, clear and organized forum. Anyone found to be openly undermining any official ruling by a staff member will be warned. 4. Signatures: One picture only and no links. Images: To keep the forum looking neat and tidy, we ask that members insert just one picture only in their signatures. The picture should be no more than 200x500 pixels and should be of an appropriate subject, for example, your dogs and their names. Should you need assistance creating an appropriate signature, please PM an Admin and we would be happy to help! This is to ensure that signatures remain a welcome addition to our forum instead of a cumbersome distraction. Links: Hyperlinks in signatures--unless to a personal blog or photo stream of your dogs (like Flckr or Piscasa, for example)--are strictly prohibited. Please PM a staff member with any questions or concerns regarding this rule. |

| So i don't know if this is just my dogs... but they will drink until they vomit... and its both of my huskies, my mom and dad's dogs don't care. It's like water is the ultimate treat or something... |

| I think that's a husky thing! My first one would do that especially if he were playing and needed a drink. Our new one just makes a dang mess everywhere and I am constantly wiping the water off the floor! Does anyone give their huskies ice? First one loved it and Rodney just kicks it around like hes a cat! :-) |

| Sierra will drink then caugh after, spraying water on anything near! jack is good. what mine do that gets a laugh from everyone at the dog park is they will stick their front paws into the water dishes! they do it to our outside bowl as well but thankgoodness never inside cause the bowls are smaller i think. they did not care for ice cubes this summer but Jack has been loving the ice CHUNKS i take out of the water dish every moring, guess the cubes are to small |

| Koda drinks until he vomits sometimes-- it's annoying as anything! He quite often drinks and then gags too. It just depends on how hard he was playing. Sometimes I pick up the bowl to make him stop and take a breath if he's just guzzling it down.
He also LOVES ice cubes. _________________ www.itsahuskything.com It's a husky thing... you wouldn't understand. |

| Ecko was obsessed with ice cubes when I first got her... Icon is okay with them. Icon has only ever vomited if he was playing real hard before hand... but he does cough afterwards... |

| Wow, I'm glad I found this thread! Ghost does the same thing. She's never vomited after drinking, but will run over and drink until she gags. We got the biggest water fountain we could find for all our animals to share (2 cats and a Cocker Spaniel), so Ghost will put down a good liter or more every day. We've only had her for 6 days, but we were both wondering if that was normal Husky behavior, and after reading this I guess it is. She also likes to put her front paws in as well, which does make a bit of a mess. Thankfully most of our house is tile! _________________ Shadow's Blog Canine Hydrocephalus Support on Facebook "Being the parent of a special-needs pet means living your life constantly poised on the edge of a double-edged sword.

| oh yes yes....every time that they drink they cough after. Sometimes I have to grab them so that they stop drinking. When playing rough Mya often and gags or stops to "puke", but it's just googy stomach stuff never actual puke. |

| Anushka drinks alot but usually in several trips throughout the day and (thankfully) never to the point of gagging. She really does need to learn to wipe her mouth though. |

| Sebo is an Ice cube junkie! Mikko is the gagger, drink gag, drink gag and drink some more. I always thought he was gagging due to washing down the fur balls since he cleans himself constantly. |

- I actually just started making "Niko Popsicles." I just freeze a nylon bone in with some water (now chicken broth/water mixture to keep his attention longer) and then let him loose on the balcony!
Oh my gosh I'm so stealing this idea! Drogo LOVES ice cubes. I actually use them as a reward for good behavior lol. Cheapest treat ever. I think he would flip over this idea - thanks for sharing! |
