Hi everyone! My name is Sean and I got my little buddy, Eli, this past Monday. He was born on 10/14/2015, making him a little over 7 weeks.
Got him from upstate Vermont and he has done very well adjusting this past week!

After the first night, he was going in and out of the crate on his own as well as eating and drinking normally. He has been doing great with potty training, as he is able to hold it all night long and go right when he's brought outside. Only a few accidents due to my fault in not bringing him out soon enough We have two cats and he has been interacting well with them. He generally sits and stairs at it, sniffs it, or jumps around playfully a little. The cat, Bob, gave him a little hit so he got put in his place and respects the cat. More to come as he gets older

This is my first dog, so will be looking around for any training tips to keep Eli at the top of his game!

Welcome, Sean - Eli is a cutie. Get ready for a wild and wonderful year

Whereabouts in Mass? We have a member in Billerica who does a lot with Boston Snow Dogs. Also, my son is in Westford - he has been caretaking his SIL's older lab for the past 3 months while his SIL gets a new kitchen. Son and his wife have said "we are SO over dog fever!" Not surprising...they have 3 kids under 7 and both work full-time and he travels. Son grew up with my first husky, Sasha so he always thought he wanted his own dog.

Hey Sean welcome! Eli is a total cutie!

Thank you, he certainly is a cutie! We live on the other side in Western Mass, Amy. Right next to Mass Amherst.

Ahh...I went tho Smith, met my husband in Pittsfield. Know the area well. It was in Northampton that my first husky was spayed and left the vets occur office on her own... through both her cage AND the locked storm door

Eli is adorable! Welcome to the forum

Awwwww baby Eli what a cute king! Welcome to this wonderful forum Sean

Ah! His little harness is so cute! Welcome to the forum.

hi, welcome to the forums. he is so cutie, making me want one more even more. lol.

Sean, Welcome! Eli is a cute pup indeed, and wow, you are lucky on the potty training. I have an almost 17 week old girl pup, and we have just had our first week of going all night long, so don't get discouraged if he regresses a little (maybe not and then really lucky you, haha). anyways, great info and people here if you have any questions that can't be answered by looking at the search. Have fun!!

Thanks everyone! I am really active for my Toyota Tundra forum so I figured I'd see if there was one for Huskies also.

Ah, gotcha, real close! We live in Hadley, so open fields are in abundance for little Eli. We have close to two acres of lawn which he loves and is doing pretty well at following me and coming when called.

Does seem like he has regressed a little, but we're working on it!

Cute pup! My puppy Lutsen was born a day before Eli! He's officially been with us for a week.
