Oh gosh I never updated this! I'm sorry.. I had a lot of drama go on that day, scrambling to find a ride.. it was hectic.

Laxity test came back fine with the vet, joints were working properly and everything seemed good, x-rays came back fine hips perfectly in socket and no signs of damage or pain. Vet said we should be fine with biking this winter - and Link has actually been fine the past few days, not been grumpy. The correlation may be the dog park - we think he's playing too hard/too long, causing soreness and/or muscle pain. It seems pretty accurate for when he's grumpy is always after or a day or two after the dog park, from what I remember. The vet has given me pain pills for his bad days. I still can't believe there's nothing wrong thats conclusive - makes me look like I'm some crazy paranoid husky mom - but I'm happy he's healthy and I just want what's best.

Glad to hear that there is nothing physically serious going on with him. Hopefully he doesn't get grumpy too often and will be his cute self all the time!

I'm so pleased for your sake that there is nothing wrong! I'm sure you'll have his threshold worked out in no time

I hear you about feeling paranoid, but with hips, better safe than sorry. Plus, since he's a rescue, I know his background is a bit fuzzy, so I would be exactly the same way!

If he's got a dominant personality, maybe going to the dog park stresses him out and makes him edgy for a couple days after. At least you're narrowing down the cause. I'm sure he's glad to get back out on the bike!

Thank you all! And Jen, thats a good point. He does get very dominant there, but at least lately he hasn't been testing me. We just went for a bike ride, and right now he is so energetic and wants to play doing zoomies all over. Definitely can't be pain right now xD I'll see how he is after a playdate with abbys girls tomorrow.
