-To begin -
Let me just say that I simply adore my female siberian husky - she's a real stinker -
At 4 years old she's still a puppy -
But because of this goofy dog - I no longer have any friends or company coming over to my house even my husband and kids don't like it here any more
oh well
The reason is because she sheds so much hair that my house is literally covered with it, - and I mean covered -There is dog hair all over my couch and chairs, my television, my stereo, my computer, my dishes, my counters etc. etc -It doesn't particularily phase me, actually the way I see it is if they don't like my dog or her dog hair they can just stay away.
Although I do brush her, - she seems to shed 24 hours a day, 7 days a week, and 365 days a year.
It is totally unreal. I had always said after I had my 14 year old black labput to sleep that the next animal that I would get would be a non-shedding animal. Here I wind up with this over-grown, constantly shedding husky .
[My life would be so dull without her though.]
She gets all jealous [because she loves me]and wants me all to herself, She even tries to open the bathroom door.If anybody comes near meshe gets right inbetween me and the other person - she dosen't care who it is...She just butts her way [literally] right in between.
I would get her a companion but she goes bezerk when there is another animal in the house. She'd just plain nibble them to death. Heck she nibbles on me, It's more like she grinds her teet and pinches me [ouch!] When I give her treats [med. size bones]
I generally break them in half - she'll take a piece and throw it at me - I have to pick it up and throw it back at her -we do this a couple of times, she's happy and goes about eating her treats - she really is very smart and has personality plus.Yes indeedie, she is one crazy sibe.
I guess I am stuck with her [and she's stuck with me]
My life has not been the same since that day almost 4 years ago when I got her. [Update - 9 years now]
But you know what? I wouldn't change that now for all the money in the world.
She's just a joy!!!!!
