Cathy Posted July 12, 2009 Report Share Posted July 12, 2009 Hello, I am looking forward to checking in from time to time. I have two huskies: Nikita, who is 16 and still enjoys walks twice a day, and Dakota, who is 1 (I adopted him in April) and enjoys hiking and running with me 2 or 3 times a day. The two get along wonderfully, in spite of the age difference. We live in Atlanta, GA, USA. Best wishes, Cathy Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Smithy Posted July 12, 2009 Report Share Posted July 12, 2009 Hello and welcome. What a beautiful pair of Huskies, and at 16 the most mature Husky on here. You'll have to join the Golden Oldies... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mazz Posted July 12, 2009 Report Share Posted July 12, 2009 Cathy - What a gorgeious pair! Wow, sixteen. That must be some kind of record. It shows you've taken excellent care of Nikita. Welcome and enjoy. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cathy Posted July 12, 2009 Author Report Share Posted July 12, 2009 Wow! Thank you for such prompt and welcoming replies! I will certainly search out the "Golden Oldies" for my Nik -- he never ceases to amaze me. We did our last 5k together in December (when he was 15.5 years old); he had to walk that one, but in all prior years he ran with me. I'll have to build an album soon. Dakota is taking up where Nik left off; we ran our first 5k together in June. @ debs: congratulations on your new addition. It did take about 3-4 weeks for us to get Nikita and Dakota used to each other. At first, we kept them completely separated in separate rooms. Then we gradually allowed them "together" time with Dakota in a crate and Nikita free to sniff and check him out. Eventually, we'd all spend evenings together in the family room, with Dakota on a leash at first until we were sure we could verbally control him (as much as you can control a husky puppy!) with "no" and "sit" if he tried to play too rough with Nik. Now they both eat out of the same bowl together and walk together well on leashes. However, I do still separate them when I am not at home. Nik's a bit too fragile to leave him unsupervised with any dog. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
