1. Here we prefer clarity to agreement. Obviously not everyone is going to agree on a topic; here we prefer to talk out our differences in a respectful manner to ensure mutual understanding and respect. 2. Read the Stickies and Announcements. Each sub-forum may have specific rules which trump the Forum Rules in cases where there may be conflicting information. Read the rules of each board before you post so that you are clear on the expectations of the staff. 3. Respect ALL Staff and Admins. These people volunteer of their time and MUST be respected as well as their word adhered to. They are responsible for maintaining a free, open, clear and organized forum. Anyone found to be openly undermining any official ruling by a staff member will be warned. 4. Signatures: One picture only and no links. Images: To keep the forum looking neat and tidy, we ask that members insert just one picture only in their signatures. The picture should be no more than 200x500 pixels and should be of an appropriate subject, for example, your dogs and their names. Should you need assistance creating an appropriate signature, please PM an Admin and we would be happy to help! This is to ensure that signatures remain a welcome addition to our forum instead of a cumbersome distraction. Links: Hyperlinks in signatures--unless to a personal blog or photo stream of your dogs (like Flckr or Piscasa, for example)--are strictly prohibited.

Subject: A Husky Obsession... Fri Dec 19, 2014 10:52 pm
A few photos first of my first Husky, Buster, and my 2nd Husky, Stoli. Then on to Stanislav and Cody in a 2nd post.
My oldest son with Buster. Nathan was about 3 or 4 here, and Buster about 6. I adopted him from my mom because she lost her house in the foreclosure market after her job was lost, etc. So I already knew him and loved his personality, and he LOVED my kids. Plus he had been adopted by my mom (thru a rescue) at the same time my son was born and I was at my mom's a lot since she lived only a few blocks away. He is the one that hooked me on Huskies. Even my son's dad (we were married at the time) recalls how much he loved Buster and how special he was. Sadly I don't have many photos of him as back then the cell-phone cameras weren't that great.
Buster 2002(?)-June 2010 (cancer)
Stoli. The amazing Stolichnaya Konstantin. My first Husky pup and he was really a mama's boy. He was my right-hand pup. I miss him SO much every day.
One of my favorite pics of him with my kids.
Stoli enjoying the convertible! We had one for about 2 years before we bought the farm and had to trade it for the truck. Stoli stayed in the car at all times although obviously with huskies, never fully trust them so we'd put his leash thru the seatbelt and buckled it. He loved the convertible rides.
Stoli's best friend was our housecat Simon. They had a very special relationship. Simon liked to play rough so Stoli was the perfect friend for him. I can tell Simon misses his buddy.
I got this done just this past Sunday by a friend who is a tat artist. He knew Stoli pretty well and it was hard for him to do this but he wanted to.

Our new babies. The little baby pics Stanislav Konstantin "Stani"
Cody Konstantin "Cody"
Pic the breeder sent me just before we left for our trip. They looked like little polar bears!
In the car on the ride home. Stani is the one closest to me. Cody is the more shy one.
Of course they fell asleep...
Cody crashed on the couch after a long car ride home. They had never been in a car before and the whole experience of changing homes and new parents was exhausting.
Stani wants more dinner...

Such handsome pups! I gasped when I saw Stoli's pic - he looks so much like Ami in the eyes (without all the hair )

I love AMi's eyes too... with his fur length, he looks so much more exotic.

I made this a few days after he died. This song came on the radio while I was out fixing a fence with my truck and I broke down right there and didn't move for a long time and I stopped what I was doing and came in to do this video.

Ok, the vid made my eyes tear up...I lost both my Huskies last year, 2 wks apart, and way too young so I know what you are feeling very well. Beautiful beautiful dogs, and I LOVE the tat you had done. Like you, I got two more...they help for sure, but Stoli will always be a part of you and with you.
Your new pups are gorgeous as well!!!
