I am so excited to have found this forum. I am fixing to be a first time husky owner of two precious babies! My grandmother had one when I was younger, and I loved that dog. He was challenging at times, but he was a great dog. I have always wanted one, and now that my husband is done with the military and we have bought our own house, this is a great time to make that step! Our previous dog had to be put down two years ago, which was unfortunate. He was a pit-mix that I rescued, and was one of the best and loudest dogs I have ever known.

My husband put a deposit down on a litter back in June. I was also interested in getting one for myself, as well as for the other puppy a companion. Sadly, her litter did not produce the color I was wanting. She put me in touch with a breeder that she got one of her dogs from, and she happened to have a beautiful red-headed (lol) girl. Obviously, we have no plans to breed, as they will genetically be cousins, but they will be a cute little pair of friends. Odysseus was born on October 3rd, and Circe was born on October 4th. I cannot wait to meet both of them, but especially my sweet little Circe, who I will be meeting on Saturday!!

Welcome to the forums! This is very exciting! Two brand new puppies; you are going to have your hands full! I like your naming scheme, too. Make sure you take pictures for us!

I will!! I have two that they sent. I will upload them tomorrow!

Congratulations and welcome to the forum great names, I look forward to "meeting" them!

How exciting huskies usually do super well in pairs! They have great names! Can't wait to see pictures!

Thank you all! I cannot wait to get some more (and better) pictures of them over the next few weeks!

Oh my goodness they are going to be beautiful. Odysseus already looks like he's got a unique mask going on and Circe is a beautiful color!

Thank you! His brother was beautiful, and I voted on him, but my husband really liked his color. I am dying to see Circe on Saturday and see if I can get some better pictures of her color. They are the sweetest little things. I have to get to work on fixing their outside area, which is going to be a chore and a half.

TWO puppies, a day apart in age Get ready for the ride of your life

Should be so much fun, I envy you, wish I was 40 years younger. I hope they keep their masks...should be beautiful grown-ups.

Keep the pictures coming -

Two puppies!!! ah I am so jealous Cora wont be getting her partner for at least another 9 months *sigh*, They both look beautiful cant wait to watch them grow

I will! I suppose it is a good thing that I never sleep. I have three children. One of them is a holy terror, the other one is in Taekwondo pretty much every day (I swear I spend my life there), and the other one is just 9 months. I am starting a bunch of outside projects, one of which is to turn this little barn into an outside area for the dogs. The people that lived in this house before have a decent sized little barn they had one horse in. I am going to replace the floor, reinforce the walls, and build a raised digging bed for them. I'm supposed to have a fence guy coming soon too.

Oh my goodness so much cuteness, how exciting two pups! I love their names, and that they're a day apart in age. We're birthday twins ours is 10/4 too! The pups are going to love that they have 3 kids to play with! Can't wait to see more from you.

Yeah, they will keep them busy! We also live about 10 min from a wilderness area with a ton of trails and water. I love hiking, and they will give me a good reason to get out and be more active. They are going to be a handful, but it will totally be worth it.

I have gotten the worst news today. Circe and another puppy were killed by a neighbor's dog last night. Either her son or her husband forgot to close her pen and the dog was able to get in. The mother tried to fight it off, and was taken to the emergency vet with the other five puppies. She is heartbroken, and so am I. =[ I didn't even get to meet her.

Stefanie, I am so sad to hear the news. Try and focus on Odysseus, he will bring great joy and laughter to your home. Things happen for a reason, even if we don't understand the reason. Take care

=[ Yeah, I will. I will still have to get the outdoor area ready for him and other things. One of these days I will have myself a little red-headed Circe number two.

Omg I am so sorry. That is the most horrible thing. That poor mother. I can't imagine what you are feeling.

sorry, for your loss , and welcome to the forums.
keep your head up and move forward.

Things are just going from bad to worse. Odysseus did not get a good report at the vet. She has given us the option to pick another puppy that got a clean vet check. Since this is my husband's dog, I am letting him make that decision. I did get some of the food, and I have it a heavy duty crate, so it will be ready to come home, whichever one he decides to bring. Thanks for the encouragement. <3

We did, however, wind up with ANOTHER cat. My aunt caught one inside the factory where she works, and I went and got it with the intentions of taking it to the animal shelter. I felt sorry for it, so now it is living in my laundry room, because my other cats hate it. She only comes out at night. She is really sweet though.
