These are all from January 2016. Zhukov is about 9-10 weeks old here.

Here he is in late Feb to early March 2016

Really great pics! Beautiful dogs you have. Think my favorite is the snow nose pic, that is a great shot

beautiful pictures, love the one with the snow on Zhukov's noise.

Such nice pictures!

He is so big! My poor pup will probably never get to see snow.

Mark, he is an incredible looking husky. I adore his freckles, and he so very expressive. I can't pick a favorite, tho I am pretty fond of the last one.

Thanks! The little guys sure stole my heart.

My two buddies taking a nap.  They both have to be underneath my feet when I am at the desk.




Someone is getting too big to cuddle on the couch...





Took a nice walk with my son and the dogs...

Nice pics Mark, Love the last one...I can't get over his nose, and his freckles going down, he really is a cute pup.

Great pictures he really is cute! The blue eyes with his coat looks amazing!

He's grown so much. Really got the cat beat now. Seems like not that long ago he and the cat were about the same laying there by the door.

So, today marked Zhukov turning 7 months old.  I was looking back at some of his pics and am amazed at how big he has gotten.  What a joy he is.


"Is this for meeeee?"


He sure does love his beef bones!


Scoping out people at the park.


Did I mention that he hates car rides?  Whines the whole way....


This is his "Pay no attention to me....  I am getting ready to pounce on you...." look.....  


Collecting his toys....


Waiting patiently for Dad to get up and take him out.


His "We're gonna go play soon, right Dad?" look...

Great pictures! Happy boy.

Ami whines a lot in the car, too...but not because he hates car rides but because he is so excited and wants to get out and explore.

Great pics Mark!! He is such an animated guy, haha. The pics you take and his expressions speak a thousand words. I adore the last pic, love his freckles. Glad to see an update.

Keno isn't thrilled by car rides either. He gets in, stuffs himself in the corner, and stares out the window unmoving until the car stops.

nice pics, lol the glare pic is very funny. Zhukov's freckles are very cute. Leo wasn't a fan of car rides at first ether but we started to take him on many car rides when we could now; he loves to go on car rides and hanging his head out the window. all we have to tell him is "you wanna go on a road trip" and he runs to the door.

So, we had a groomer come to the house to give Colby (mini-Schnauzer) his haircut, shampoo, and nail trimming.  While the young lady was here ole crazy Zhukov, just had to see what was going on and make sure that she wasn't going to kidnap Colby.  After Colby was done with his terrifying ordeal, she offered to trim Zhukov's nails and paw hair and shave his belly and inner thighs.  I decided to give it a shot and boy oh boy, Zhukov LOVED IT!

It was hilarious because Colby HATES having his feet touched, hates the water, hates the clippers, hates being held down, hates the groomer, hates having his pee pee hair cut, hates the sunlight, hates the shade, hates me, hates my wife, and in general hates everything else about being groomed.  Zhukov on the other hand, loved every second of it and probably would have let her shave him bald (not that we would do that).


The aftermath of the grooming... resting and recuperating.


Zhukov admiring Colby's manscaping...  I said "Get a room"....  Colby said "Mind your own dang business!"


Zhukov, making sure Colby washed out his nasty little ears.


Colby checking out Zhukov's manscaping.


Zhukov starting the afternoon romp.  I can't believe how big he has gotten.


You can't see it here, but Zhukov puts his mouth around Colby's entire head.


The boys showing each other their "Fierce" faces.


Colby saying "Lets not do this anytime soon."


Zhukov saying "Lets do this again real soon!"


Zhukov comforting Colby after his ordeal.

Awww, very cute pics, they both are adorable!

Poor little Colby..the grooming days are days of terror!
Zhukov really came in to his own wow, thats fantastic.
I like the Fierce faces pic lol
The biggest complaint I get about Mylo when he gets a bath is that he gets very bratty when it comes to his paws..

Zhukov actually rolled over on his back when she started doing his paws! It is like he was saying "Here you go, do 'em all!".

Such cute pics Mark. Zhukov has some beautiful structure, and his face is as adorable as ever. Love the updates.

beautiful pics, they are very cute, like the 6th on from the bottom they're very cute.

Zhukov is so handsome! My girl seems to have similar facial features as your boy! Her tail has a curl to it too, if I can ever get a fully body picture of her, I'll post it! lol my girl hates being photographed, I aim the camera at her and all I get is this blur of a Husky lol

So, it has been a while since I got to download some pics of Zhukov.  We have been pretty busy getting my son, Joe, ready for college.  Last week we drove him up to Rochester Institute of Technology for the start of his freshman year.  A lot of these pics are of his last couple of days with his dog, his buddy, his pal.  It was hard for him, and both of the dogs look for him, especially when I drive Joe's truck and pull up into the driveway in it.  Sorry for some of the pics being sideways, I have not mastered the art of flipping them.

Me pulling up in Joe's truck.


The boys going to doggy daycare.


After playing fetch, he still has to hold the ball.


The boys taking a nap in the kitchen... on the off chance that some food gets dropped...


Taking the boys to Petco!  Their favorite place to visit.

Saying goodbye....
