Hi, I'm Ashley and I have 2 baby boys named Bandit and Baxter. Bandit's birthday is 6 Feb 2005, and Baxter's is 8 Feb 2010. Bandit's temperate and personality is so wonderful we wanted to return to the same breeder and try our luck with a brother. Luckily it worked out and we have 2 awesome huskies. Bandit has lived with me in Germany, Washington, New York, Georgia, and Kentucky. He's rode with me from west to east and from north to south -- so he is quite traveled. Baxter has hardly left the state of Kentucky, but I believe he prefers it that way. They are both very well trained and too smart for their own good. I strongly believe in, and recommend kennel training. I know I often find my boys taking naps in their kennels even though they have free range of the house...they just like feeling safe (or being near their food, not sure which one).
About me - I'm married to my best friend and I have a 5 yeard old daughter. I've been in this area for almost 5 years, originally from Georgia but joined the military young and I've just been all over the place since. I'm settled here as a Department of the Army civilian, loving my job dealing with past conflicts.

I can't wait to chat with others. Hopefully I find some folks just as obsessed with their furbabies as I am, lol.

Welcome! I'd love to see some pictures of your boys. Sounds like Bandit has had quite the adventure moving around with you

Welcome!

Welcome Ashley! Can't wait to see pics of your babies!

Welcome Ashley! I have a boy myself, first one actually and it is really interesting to get to know their personality! And yes about crate training, mine is in his crate right now with the door open but has totally freedom in the house. He really loves to be in there since it is in the basement and its getting warmer out

Welcome Ashley and thanks for your service, can't wait to see some pics of the furkids

Hi there, Ashley, Bandit and Baxter!!!!

hi ashley, bandit & baxter! welcome to the forum, a lot of information and questions answered! can't wait to see what your babies look like

Welcome!

Welcome!

Thanks for all the warm welcomes! Marcia - I'm glad to hear you have a 4 legged beast that enjoys his kennel. Right now mine are acting like area rugs. I am absolutely LOVING all of the pictures you guys have as avatars and signature blocks. It's so neat to see the personalities in just pictures, and to see how they share traits...like Meredith and Aaron -- you're picture of Ghost is cracking me up. My Bandit has looked like that a few times, doesn't do water but enjoys a good mud bath. Judy, it looks like Rocky's mask faded, good to know I don't own the only husky with a faded mask (Bandit got his name because he had a mask, like a masked Bandit...now his face is solid white!).
Ok, I'll stop rambling. My boys aren't big on being in the same picture...so here's one at the vets office I was able to snap because they were too sick to argue with me. hehe
Bandit has the blue leash and Baxter has the black one.
