Beautiful pictures - I'd like to say there was a favorite - I can't. They are all beautiful!

He's so photogenic at any age.

Thank you. There was a time when I would post a billion pictures because I could never choose a favorite.

He really is. Though it's been hard trying to get some fun action shots of him in the backyard. He just wants to bother me the whole time or go under our deck. Lol.

Haha, I know what you mean. Layla gets zoomies as soon as she gets out the door into the back yard, but then she immediately gravitates to the wood pile, where a family of chipmunks lives. She's been trying to get them to come out of hiding for months but to no avail, haha.

So we got the new x-back harness in that is the right length. Hoping we got it right this time. I hooked him to the tow line and attached it to our deck rail to get these and threw treats in his direction. Lol.

Mishka looks very thrilled to be in his new harness. Just a little ray of sunshine right there. xD

Lol, yea he doesn't look thrilled. Ashleigh is he getting darker or is it the lighting that makes him look that way? He looks good in it even if he's not happy about it.

Renee, I'm not sure if he's getting darker. It could be the editing too? Lol. I see him every day so I can't tell anymore. He used to be a lot darker than he is now but maybe with his winter coat coming in he's darkening.

And yeah, he's a huge grump when it comes to most things. Lol.

It's been a while since I've updated with any pictures! Just have been busy and with this time change don't have the daylight after work to take many pictures anymore.

Took these this morning! I wanted to go hook him up to the bike and try joring for the first time but I didn't want to go alone and the hubby wouldn't wake up. :/ So I will most likely have to wait until next weekend.

As always - he is beautiful and the pictures are beautiful!

Thanks Ashleigh for posting up a black and white, you know how much I love those, plus he has such a wonderful smile....

You always take such amazing pics!!! Mishka is truly one of the most beautiful Huskies I've ever seen.

Thank you guys! I am trying to improve my photography and be more conscious of the lighting around.

Here is a picture from today.

I know this isn't the right term, but I love the background distortion, very cool. Makes Mishka stand out even more in your pics, very nice Ashleigh!!

Thank you! It's called bokeh which is "the way the lens renders out-of-focus points of light" (Google). When you use a shallow DOF with an f/stop that is usually 3.5 or below this becomes more dramatic.

Mishka is always so handsome!

Sitting pretty for treats!

I am in LOVE with this photo. What a huge doggy grin he has! <3

I love the second pic...he looks so happy, like he's having the most perfect day

Thank you, Christina and Jimmy!


So my hubby's mom got me some GoPro gear for Christmas and that included the Fetch harness. I tried it on Mishka yesterday and took some video on our walk. Apparently I severely underestimate my ability to cut down video into something short, so these are between 5-10 minutes long.

Happy 2nd birthday to Mishka!





I am terrible and didn't plan anything special for him so I'll have to go get him some treats this afternoon!

Happy Birthday, Mishka!

Happy Birthday Mishka! all of the pictures are just so beautiful!

Happy birthday! Two years have flown by.

Happy birthday, Mishka - you are a beautiful boy

Yay, happy birthday, big boy!
