Forum Rules | 1. Here we prefer clarity to agreement. Obviously not everyone is going to agree on a topic; here we prefer to talk out our differences in a respectful manner to ensure mutual understanding and respect. 2. Read the Stickies and Announcements. Each sub-forum may have specific rules which trump the Forum Rules in cases where there may be conflicting information. Read the rules of each board before you post so that you are clear on the expectations of the staff. 3. Respect ALL Staff and Admins. These people volunteer of their time and MUST be respected as well as their word adhered to. They are responsible for maintaining a free, open, clear and organized forum. Anyone found to be openly undermining any official ruling by a staff member will be warned. 4. Signatures: One picture only and no links. Images: To keep the forum looking neat and tidy, we ask that members insert just one picture only in their signatures. The picture should be no more than 200x500 pixels and should be of an appropriate subject, for example, your dogs and their names. Should you need assistance creating an appropriate signature, please PM an Admin and we would be happy to help! This is to ensure that signatures remain a welcome addition to our forum instead of a cumbersome distraction. Links: Hyperlinks in signatures--unless to a personal blog or photo stream of your dogs (like Flckr or Piscasa, for example)--are strictly prohibited. Please PM a staff member with any questions or concerns regarding this rule. |

| Hello, I've been lurking the forums for a few months and finally decided to join. My name is Krystal and as you can tell from the title, I live in Richmond, VA. My fiance and I got our first Husky pup on April 7th of this year from a breeder outside of Richmond. She's an absolute joy as well as a typical puppy spaz. Her name is Harley Quinn. About a week ago, we rescued another, we call Emma Frost, from a bad situation. She lived in a run down home with no AC and 9 other dogs. I couldn't say no to that. She's a sweet girl, very loving and crate trained. We were told that she was under 1 year old, but after some research, found out that she's actually 2. Regardless of her past, she's been a welcome addition to our Husky family. Well, I guess that's the intro. I look forward to reading more of the forum and I appreciate all that I've learned thus far. K. |

| Thanks for the welcome all! Glad to see there are other VA members here as well. Kelly, it's too funny that we have almost identical pups, save for the size difference!

| Welcome! _________________ Shadow's Blog Canine Hydrocephalus Support on Facebook "Being the parent of a special-needs pet means living your life constantly poised on the edge of a double-edged sword. On the one hand, you become a fierce defender of the ways in which your little one is perfectly ordinary — all the things he or she can do that are just like what everybody else does. And yet, you never lose sight of how absolutely extraordinary that very ordinariness is, how difficult, remarkable and rewarding that fight to be 'just like everybody else' has been." -Gwen Cooper, "Homer's Odyssey" Shadow - 03/01/2013 - 10/02/2014 |

(I'm from WV, relocated to VA ) Oh it's fun! I've been sporting my maroon and orange everywhere I can :-) (Although, I will admit I took the VT off my car as I worried about it getting vandalized. ) In reality, most current students have forgotten there was ever a rivalry and I only get shit (in good humor) from adults. And yes, sorry to hijack. |

We live in Lynchburg. My mom lives in Richmond and we actually got Sabaka from someone in Glen Allen. Was she in Rockville, VA? We got Harley (the black and white terror) from a lady named Angie up near Glen Allen. Beautiful girl you have there, by the way. Everyone has lovely dogs. Huskies are so strikingly beautiful; it's hard to have just one! K. |

| YES! It was Angie! Well, I guess she's got some "terror" in those gene pools! I went there because she had a male (stud) from a guy south of here and after I got there I was not impressed, but walked away with Sabaka anyway When's Harley's birthday? Sabaka's is Nov 17, 2010. He's from a Landon and Sasha litter. |

| Wow! Small world! Half-siblings!! She's Landon and Haley's pup, born on Feb 7th, 2012. Harley chose my fiance; we couldn't say no... She's been awesome, though and I almost feel bad saying "terror". She obeys (for the most part) and knows sit, lay down, speak and shake. It's just the whining and housebreaking we're still working on and as long as she has her toys, she leaves our stuff alone. Patience is indeed a virtue, hahaha! |

| Sabaka is our second husky and, boy, I really think the first one was WAY worse than Sabaka! He is SUPER energetic but we are older now and don't have the energy we did years ago! As long as he is exercised, he is pleasant. At 18 months, he rarely destroys things that are not his. He does enjoy the tissues from trashcans, but, even then, he only rips them into pieces and leaves them littering up the room! He is SO smart! We are not smart enough to come up with any more commands to teach him. Whatever we come up with he learns in a day. On a negative note, he is very mouthy and demanding! He is also way less timid than our first girl. He loves everyone and is very tolerant of our kids "messing" with him and his things. He really is a good boy! So happy to find one of his sisters living a good life!! |

| Wow... Your pup sounds just like his half-sister, tissue-tearing and all. She can be very mouthy and demanding. She isn't afraid of much, either. With command training, she learned incredibly fast, faster than any dog I've ever seen, but at times, she'll only do it when she wants to.Typical Husky. Most of what I taught her she learned at 8-10 weeks. As much as she can rile my feathers, I love her to death. Now if only I could get Emma to listen to commands without having to tempt her with treats... K. - SabakaMom wrote:
