Well I found a rescue about and hour and a half from me and they are all husky. I sent them an email asking some questions. Hopefully we can have a new addition in the next month or so. Just in time for Christmas would be nice. I will keep everyone informed. I'm excited now.

I was wondering if you all think it's better to get a male dog when I have a female or doesn't it seem to matter. I'm just concerned about having 2 lead females. I have noticed that most of you have a male and a female, and was wondering if this was better.
Thanks again everyone.

What rescue did you inquire about? There are quite a few in the Chicago area that wouldn't be too far for you.

I think it was husky rescue.org, it is in harvard,IL. I found a few on there that I would like to find out more. 2 of them are male and 1 is female. they are all so cute.

Yep, that's Free Spirit Rescue I was mentioning on my thread on Willow. I haven't put in an app yet, I'm still waiting to hear from Nothern Lights, but they are my next avenue. Which ones are you looing at?

Maybe this is there way of telling us we are not enough for them anymore. they are bored with just mom and dad and want a sibling. lol

Agreed!!!! LOL!

I was looking at Skye, Mitchell and I cant remember the other name. Its so hard to choose because I dont know if I should look at male or female. Is it better to have one of each? They are all so cute and hard to pick from. I like the idea of having one close to Libbys age though.

Mitchell reminds me of a Malamute, even though I know he isn't. I also love Skye's mask! I really like Dakota3's beautiful mask and bi-eyes!. I did email them to find out if they had limits on location since I had that issue with another rescue in the Chicago area and luckily they will adopt out as far as 4 hours awway. I am 3 1/2 hours from them so I barely made it. Good luck and keep us posted!

Good luck to you as well. i asked them about location as well, because im out of the state. Hopefully they will. You think they would be happy to have people interested in these wonderful dogs.

Well, Mya is in her first time out in the bathroom! Her good streak tonight was out lived..lol Poor Kody is keeping her company outside the door and will not move. Awww...

Kody sympathizing because he knows the feeling all to well?

Oh poor Kody, he is wondering why Mya just doesnt behave. hope you put away the toilet paper and garbage and whatever she could destroy. at least thats what i would have to do. stay strong.

Dee, LOL! Yep, he definitely knows it well!!!!

Christine, I MUST put EVERYTHING away when it's Kody, but Mya's over the destroying stuff stage (thank god for that!). Only took 4years..lol. She spent the entire time sniffing Kody under the door. I would move him because she needs to be alone, but he would go back to keep her company. So funny

It like if your in timeout so am I. I dont want you to be alone. they crack me up. its so funny how we punish them and we try so hard not to laugh at the little shit like that. its like a toddler that is naughty but yet funny. hope she starts to behave.

They're definitely like toddlers, but they just never grow out of it..lol.

How long is Mya behaving like this now? It is a bit strange that she starts with those things with five years.

I want a vid of this Mel! LOL!

She's always been bitchy and a total diva. It's just that I'm sick of it now! I see how Kody is and she pisses me off. I guess I just let her slide for too long

Edit: BTW, it's not all the time. She just has her moments.

Every dog has his specific charakter. Mya reminds me of Anubis when he wa syounger. He is a dominant dog too. He is well behaved now but there are still moments where he tries to push boundaries. I think if a dog has a dominant charakter such things will never stop completely.

Agreed! I don't think it will ever stop completely. I just want her to be somewhat better. Which she really has improved with the NILIF training, but she's still a total diva!

The only thing that helped with Anubis was showing him who is the boss in every situation. Make decisions before she does it and another important thing is to demand what you want, even if she does not want to do it or tries to trick around it, everything you want from her she hast to do, just because you want it. This should help

I worked with a professinal dog trainer to train Anubis the guiding stuff, if you want I could ask her what is the best to handle her divaness
