Off leash play time at the local dog park; she found the perfect distraction.  Broken sprinkler....

Lot's of water and just maybe a little mud too, eh???

"Look dad, I'm having fun!!!!!"

LOL!  They get so happy (I’m so familiar with that look).

Ha ha!

How do you clean off a face like that?!
I don't think I have ever washed my dog above his neck...horrible I know...but he just doesn't like me spraying water around his face. Ditto for the cat, and the guinea pigs...none of them ever got bathed above the top of their neck!

Spider got her first bath about a month ago... and she will be 5 in feb. She did get sponged though

I don't know about anyone else but when mine get looking that bad they get to stay out till they dry off - at least mostly dry. What I have noted is that a the mud dries, they'll start "washing" (just like a cat) the dry mud off - I'm guessing that as it gets dry and stiff it gets irritating and they want it off. And ... as with most things Husky ... they're self cleaning (most of the time.)

Try telling squirt she is self cleaning after shes rolled in something dead or deer guts

Note, I did say "most of the time."

Ha ha! I don't even want to imagine what Squirt smells like/looks like. She probably thinks she smells wonderful.

Yea, I know I'm weird...but it just bothers me that I've never washed the top of my dog's head since I got him! I actually think about it every once in a while...

Oh yes I've been there. Had to use the hose to clean her off. Luckily it all sprayed right out but Tali wasn't a big fan.

Funny thing about our Huskies, they absolutely love mud puddles and running through the small streams around our place. HATE the bath tub, and panic if i make any attempt to get them into the swimming pool.

Everything MUST be on their terms...

That's funny! My husky hates the bath tub but LOVES the swimming pool or any water she can find!

We give our girls allergy and immune salmon treats to help keep their coats nice and shiny.  

You be the judge, do you think they like them?

Squirt LOVES water. She loves it so much she almost jumped off a bridge 2 weeks ago to play in the waterfall. But mine are kinda prissy and dont like mud... particularly squirt. I also dont think she has ever seen a swimming pool. I took spider to tucker ponds 2 years ago and tried to get her in the water. Shes just not a water dog.

Hi,

An Alaskan also Kai husky was rescued and Her age is unknown and her doesent have a name. She seems very skiny snd is constantly throwing up. Not sure what to do wit her and she can have s tendency to react and has gone for me. I have a 4 year old and she is friendly but has not been looked after and I can’t even get her to respond to a name..

@Charliecapaldi - vet visit? some offer first exams for free...is she full husky? ears look big! re"going for you" - be careful. Should get better if she gets to know you better...try offering/dropping some treats whenever you are near her...

@Rocky_Rhodes - sooo cute!! I think they like those treats...!!

So for 1 the dog is either really underweight or has some wolf/coyote dna. Without knowing the background its gonna take some time. I would go to the vet about the vomiting. I could be stress or the food or she could be sick. And if shes sick then you wont know what hef real personality is

Yep at the bare minimum, she should get a rabies shot!
For public safety...(since you don't know when her last one was?)
