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.

Does anyone else's Sibe have a hard core hankering for grass? Sometimes, I think my Murphy is part goat or cow, because he's constantly trying to eat grass when we go outside.

And.... does anyone else's Sibe get a white residue looking stuff on their noses? I've noticed Murphy get a white line along the edge of the upper part of his nose, near the fur-line, but it seems to only be when his nose is dry.

Any thoughts, comments, help on either of these would be most appreciated!
Thanks!!

Ours eat grass alot.. I read an article about animals eating grass horses and dogs eat it more in the spring cause there are more sugars in it. I can't find the article.

Mine eats grass mainly in spring because, as Linda mentioned, the new growth is sweeter (aphids target new plant growth for the same reason). Some dogs love to eat grass all year long though and it's fine so long as there aren't harmful chemicals or pesticides in the grass. Plenty of people in the past have also described their huskies as being part cow or goat same as you.

The only time my dog has white residue on his nose is when he gets sand on it. When it dries it becomes really noticeable. At least in my dog's case a simple wipe with a hand towel cleans it off.

My malamute eats grass all the time. It's really not a big deal. Maggie is a cow. Lol

Thanks for the responses!
Glad to know Murphy isn't the only husky-cow-goat hybrid out there. Haha!
