Just looking to introduce myself and my dog.

I'm a young adult with a Husky Mix! Baelfire is a 1 1/2 year old tri-color boy. He's my first "northern breed" dog and I've only had him since August but we've been through a lot. He came from Animal Control and turns out he has severe separation anxiety and a very stubborn case of leash reactivity. Bae also wants to kill my mom's cats (and squirrels). Go figure... The separation anxiety is being treated with medications. With the companionship of my mother's dog, Pepper the Australian Shepherd, its been T-15 days since our last incident. The last incident involve my mattress being torn open.

I recently joined the AKC Siberian Husky Club in my area and hope to get a bit more active within the breed. Bae has given me a small taste of what living with Husky can be like. We both already love hiking and running together. This winter I'm hoping to jump into my skis and do a bit of skijoring with Bae.

With my mom and consequently Pepper moving out in the middle of November, its unclear what we're going to do about Bae's anxiety problem. The only answer that I've come up with is another dog. So mayhaps I'll have two Huskies (or perhaps another breed) sooner rather than later.

I'm here looking for advice and to learn a bit more about the Husky breed. Nice to meet ya.

You joined the Siberian Husky Club of Greater Detroit?

I'm a member. Nice to meet you.

Yup! My first meeting was this month. I'm just a newbie. I'll be at the big show at the end of this month in Midland, checking out all the sights.

Nice to meet you, also.

Yep, that's nationals. What part are you from? I'm in Livonia.

Hi from Ann Arbor!

Do you happen to be a Once Upon a Time fan? First thing I think when I hear Baelfire. Great name!

Sara, I thought the same thing!!!

Yep!!! It's a bit of a misnomer considering how naughty he can be.

My mom insists that his name should've been Steele. As in the villain of Balto. XD

Edit: I'm in Bloomfield. Didn't see that question there!
