Thank you! Those were taken with my new camera, pretty happy with the pics so far. And thats his newest collar from Zaley Designs, the clip is metal. Another husky owner recommended them and its my favorite collar to use for photoshoot and dog park days. She will be releasing her summer collection on June 1st if there aren't any patterns you particularly like, I know I'm waiting until then to get Cloud and Yuki a pattern as I've only ordered Link one.

Thank you!! He is my best model after all, looking regal is what he does haha! He's a goof <3

Oh wow! These photos are breath taking. Regal is right!

The buckle on those collars - are you satisfied with the durability and reliability? As in, the buckle will stay buckled? I have a spare nylon web collar with that buckle that I am undecided about. I want to keep his tags on one collar and his leash on another...the leash collar comes on and off. His tag collar is always on (i know, he is microchipped and he doesn't seem to be an escape artist, but still, I want him easily identified, worry-wort that I am)

Happy Gotcha Day handsome boy!

I'm pretty satisfied with the buckle thus far, I've never had any issues with it seeming weak or easily detachable. I never use buckle collars for walking though, so this collar will never have the strain of a leash on it. It only holds tags and hangs loosely on him. I know a fellow husky owner who recommended the collar who keeps her collar on pretty much all the time and its held up pretty well so far.

Lyon came home 6.29.14. <3
These are from his and Link's playdate with Hunter.


Playing with my friend's german shepherd pup




Getting cuddles from my friend

Link, Lyon, and Hunter

Yeah.. he's letting the water pour on /top/ of him.. rather than drinking it.. silly pup.

Mud face!

Checking out the scenery

Aw! How cute! Congrats on the new addition! I love his panda face with eyebrows! It's adorable!

Thank you so much! He's settling in very nicely and I have to say I am falling in love with him more and more each day.
My pups are also actually getting along with their new playmate very successful addition!

Omg, Megan what a striking mask Lyon has. What a nice addition to your pack, you have such a varied group. Many years of happiness with him. Enjoy!

Megan - your pack is sooo beautiful. And I am sooooo jealous  How fortunate you are to share your life with these beauties!

He's adjusting so well! I love his ingenuity of putting his face in the water instead of drinking it, haha. He just found a new way to stay cool! Love his mask and personality so far.

Thank you all! I feel very blessed to have so many pups myself, and all my dog friends which include my boyfriend's two samoyed's, Abby's four sibes, my friend's german shepherd, a new friend who has a german shepherd and an american eskimo, and of course the husky group with 1,000 members and lots of husky and mal friends - every day is an adventure!

And whatever the outcome is, whether Lyon is able to handle mushing, or having to stay at home away from the trail, I hope he enjoys his life with his fursiblings here. So far he has a happy-go-lucky personality and has already seemed to bond with me fairly strong, words can't express how happy I am.

Here's a couple pics from Cloud and Lyon on a small hike with my friend's german shepherd, Brody, and american eskimo dog, Major

They are looking wonderful Megan. The "new boy" really has some interesting markings, not the same ol' husky marks, I like it. The only bad thing is throws off that nice symmetry you had with Link, Cloud, and Yuki!

Sorry I missed that, thank you. And yes, Lyon does throw off their pack mentality. Cloud still hasn't full accepted him and pretty much hates him, but Link and Lyon play like they're littermates who have grown up together, so Cloud's probably just jealous xP

Just a couple pack pictures. We have really gotten into the mushing, so we don't go to the dog park that much anymore, plus our parks just have a large majority of unruly borderline aggressive dogs that owners refuse to control. There's one dog park that my boyfriend and I will go to still that luckily hardly has anyone there but us. We just bought a house so hopefully I can get some pictures of them playing in their new yard in a couple months, we are still painting and renovating the house itself at the moment.

My best team, Link and Lyon. Lyon has really become quite comfortable urban mushing.

All our dogs at the dog park.

All my pups in their x-backs ready to go.

Such a handsome pack!

And congrats on the house! I'm sure the pups LOVE having their own backyard to play.

I feel like I speak for a ton of us when I say if you have gotten into mushing just take your camera and or a friend and a camera and get a bunch of pictures of that I would love to see it!

Congrats on the house - my best wishes for health, happiness and prosperity in your new house! And that the pups don't eat it Enjoy!

Haha it's just me considering it a hassle to bring a camera with me when we go mushing, I just like only having to deal with the water bottles and off we go. I'll post a couple ones below though that my friend Demi got when we took her and her pup for the first time. I've done mushing for quite a while but as Link and Yuki were younger when I started I didn't do it as much as to not strain them, now they're older and I also have Lyon so I'm going out a lot more lol.

Haha thank you!!! As much work as we're putting into it I hope they don't eat it x.x lol!

Again these photos were taken by Demi, not myself lol. Her instagram is piperpippa.

First, this is from our Mushing Demo that I alongside the admins of the husky group held for Ohio.

Myself hooking up Lyon and Thor to take Thor's dad for a spin.


Lyon, this time with Spirit taking Spirit's dad for a sprint!


Lyon and Piper pulling Demi, Lyon showing how its done with a derp face.


Myself trying out a four-dog team of two experienced leaders (my Link, Mike's Nessa) and two newbies in wheel (Piper and Thor).


Demi, Mike, and I bikejoring on Piper's first official trail run. Other than a loop at the mushing demo she had never bikejored before, she was pretty awesome. Demi had Yuki and Piper.

Awesome pics!!! and BEAUTIFUL dogs!!!
