Hi everyone! Just wanted to introduce ourselves, I'm Caitlyn and my fiance is Chase. We have one husky named Akira and also what we call a Shelkimo (a sheltie and American Eskimo cross) named Aries. We have a horse, a lion lop rabbit, and a bearded dragon as well. We're from Northern Indiana. To tell you a little about our husky, she's really just a big goofy baby. If you look at our avatar picture that's just how she lays down most the time. She likes to twist her spine for some reason which has landed us at the emergency vet once. She also likes to "talk". She's very vocal when she wants something. We got her as a two year old and she's about 4 now. She's always been pretty mellow and never really acted her puppy age. Akira has a ton of personality. She loves to twist herself up and lay against our couch, covering the side in her never ending shedding hair. She also does something we call her "creeper walk". She goes under the table and walks as slow as she can possibly walk without actually stopping just to brush the top of her hair on the table cloth. She does it on plants too and sometimes you can get her to "creeper walk" in place by barely touching the top of her hair and petting her. Whenever I can get a video of it I'll post it.

Chase and I have owned a variety of dogs in our lives but Kira is our first husky. Chase has always wanted a husky and I was lucky enough to be able to find one for him. We've decided that despite the hair she has shed that could clothe an entire 3rd world country, we love our husky and always want to have one. Well, that's it for now. We look forward to chatting with all of you!

Welcome aboard, and for a few chuckles take a peek in the, Have they no shame?, you'll see plenty of pics like your avatar.

Thanks And your dogs are gorgeous, I really love the red one's eyes.

Welcome! I find Neo laying like that all the time, but he gets up when I go for a picture!

They never stay where you want them to for pictures, lol. Akira likes to lay right in the way like that and she doesn't care if you step over her. She lays like that on us, too. Here she is with Chase.

Welcome! Akira is really pretty!

Whereabouts in Northern IN are you? I live in Florida but I'm up in the Chicago area visiting my parents. If you're willing to spend a couple hours in the car, we're doing a little meet up tomorrow in Urbana, IL.

Sounds fun! Thank you for the invite, but I have to work all day tomorrow.

Hi Caitlyn! I am in Northwest Indiana in a town called Valparaiso. My husband and I are owned by 2 huskies and 2 malamutes. We frequently scooter ours down the Calumet trail in the Dunes. Whereabouts are you?

We're from Elkhart. That would be fun taking the dogs to the dunes. Akira would love that in the snow now.

Welcome! Akira is a cutie! I think all of us here would agree that once you have a husky there is no other breed out there you would want!

Welcome to the forum. Akira is cute, and the creeper walk sounds cool.
