Huskyluv asked me in another forum to post some pics. of the Healthy Husky after she was done with her heartworm treatments. I neglected to do it, soo...here's a few recent ones.

"Is dinner ready yet? I'll shake for it."


Patiently waiting for grub.


Oh boy! Kibble with a little boiled chicken...and broth!


After dinner walk.




It's good to be Queen.


Barking dog woke me up. Went out and she was harrassing a dang nutria rat. I finally got ahold of her and pulled her off so the rat could go on its way.

The wide sunset shot is absolutely brilliant!

...¿and WHAT THE HELL IS THAT THING? I want to bark at the pictures, let alone the actual thing.

There's a whole song about a Nutria named Norris by a New Orleans native, Benny Grunch...They are nocturnal rats (huge, obviously) who multiply like crazy and the insane people of Louisiana (aka my family) are now allowed to hunt and eat them... they typically live in the swamps/sewers...yuck, I know. But Benny Grunch and the Bunch have a funny song on one of their Christmas albums called "Norris, the Nocturnal Nutria." Just in case you're interested!

Looks like harmonytime knows what they are.

Kinda like a beaver, but with a round tail....hence the name nutria "rat."

They're pretty much harmless, or I wouldn't have gotten this close to take a pic.

Well, they're kinda harmless, except for being destructive. But hey, we own HUSKIES don't we?

Kinda strange to see one this far north though, but being surrounded by heavy woods and some ponds it's not surprising.

Woo hoo! Thanks for the heads up on the pics Sealskin! I missed your lovely Sophie, she looks like she's doing fantastic and has totally adjusted to life with you guys. You have such a beautiful place and of course Sophie is as pretty as ever, she looks so very healthy.
