Hello guys, you're here with
Priscilla
Godi Maya and chip and it's
Van
Friday
All right, everybody. It's fan Friday
And we're gonna try to pull off this fan Friday before this rainstorm moves in
We're supposed to be getting rain for the next four days. So let's try to pull off this fan for fan
Cheryl wants to know if Shelby is a new princess. I don't know Shelby. Are you a princess a little princess?
Oh, there's kids back there making noise. You better go check it out
Um, she's not as princess like as Shiloh was but she has princess like
Qualities. Hey fluffy butt. Hey, wait, you're not the fluffy butt, but you're getting there
Lindsay wants to know how long do Huskies live?
The average life expectancy for a Husky is between 12 to 15 years old
I know we've answered that before but some of you guys are new you you have her tail
Good Lord girl
Shelby says I don't live in a place that snows much and I'm wondering if you have
Recommendations on something I can put both my sides on to have them work as a team kind of like a sled
There are training rigs you can buy that are wheeled training rigs instead of hey
Instead of like a sled or you can use a bike you can do bike during and things like that
But look up training rigs
Look up sled dog training rig
Arctic carts is a good one. They're kind of expensive
But just think you only have to invest in it once and they last forever
Tiffany wants to know do you think that other medium to large size dogs can learn how to pull sleds or is it just Huskies?
Um any breed of dog really any medium to large size breed of dog can pull
There are people out there that use like they're called like slooky carts
That they use that they have their dogs pull. They're kind of like the carts that horses pull
But yeah, any if they don't have to be Huskies, I don't have to be Malamutes. Lots of dogs like to pull
They like exercise and fun. They like to work working dogs working dogs like to
Still says our dog is a year and a half old and my husband and I are expecting our first baby
Our Husky is very well behaved around kids
Tends to jump on people when they come to our house usually after the first three minutes that the dogs pretty chill and back to
Normal, it's just in those first moments when someone comes over
Do you have any tips for this?
Actually, I do one of the things you can do and you have to have the people that are coming over to your house
work with you on this but actually
Separate the dog put the dog in another room when they first come in and then use the Caesar Milan technique
No touch no talk
No eye contact when you let the dog out of the room and they go to greet those people those people need to basically ignore
The dog completely ignore the dog. Do not touch the dog. Do not look at the dog
Do not pet the dog until the dog has calmed down. This is something that will take quite a while
It's something you seriously eating all the acorns
It will take a while for them to learn but over
Excuse me over time
though they'll figure it out and if you're really really concerned about it with the baby contact a
Dog trainer in your area and start working on it now with an actual dog trainer because that might actually help
Help you to learn some new techniques that will work faster
Rebecca wants to know have you ever thought about writing or publishing a book about Huskies maybe a story about Shiloh's life
We've thought about it a few times
One of these days I'm gonna contact my friend Dorothy from over at the five sides and ask her about the right way to go
About starting a book. She's a publisher. If you guys don't know who the five sides are, you should check them out. They're pretty cool
Jessica says in fan Friday 54 you said Oakley may have had puppies before you got her
Do you think she did and if she did have puppies, would you ever try to find out where her puppies went?
Oakley had a pretty rough life before
We got her well not right before we got her but before the girl
Who got her from the shelter who got her from another girl way back then she had a pretty rough life
There's a possibility. She had puppies. She does have like a droppy belly
Which usually means that the dog has had puppies
But no, we would have no possible way of knowing if she did or where they would even be it would be cool
But we don't know at one point in time. I knew the girl that owned Shelby's brother
And I almost actually
Adopted him from that girl when she went to get rid of him and then she got rid of him and I don't know where
He went from there. So but I almost knew where Shelby's brother was
We got some mayo we got some mayo
We got a letter and a whole bunch of recipes from Bradley
We're gonna have to try some of those out for sure. They are people recipe those not dog recipes
And then we got a letter and some photos from Helen and Helen wants to know
Helen went to see some a professional sled dog kennel and they were told if you that Huskies weren't very loyal dogs
And the example was given if you fell somewhere a Husky would take no notice of you
Where a dog like a Labrador would come and lay beside you. What is your opinion on this?
Well, I've been sick for the past week and my Huskies have been laying right beside me
They pretty much knew that I didn't feel good and we're right here with me
So I think it really depends on the dog's personality like Oakley not so much
But Shelby and Memphis, excuse you Oakley Shelby and Memphis
They definitely were right there and Shiloh was also a dog to be like right there whenever you didn't feel good
So I think it really depends on the dog. Hi up-close Memphis
We also got this awesome drawing from Lance of Memphis Shelby and Oakley Oakley with an eye patch
And we got a drawing of baby Memphis along with a letter from Kimmy and we got some more cool drawings from
Sarah and her mom Holly
Then looks like a teddy bear dog. That's really cute. There's a little Shelby
Girls got a nylabone chew toy from Monique and Andrew y'all have to share it take turns. You got that
Oakley won't want it anyway, but you two can take turn
Alright you guys
I know I had a lot of questions this week and I definitely did not answer as many as I wanted to but as if
You can't tell my voice. I feel a lot better. I don't feel as sick as I did
But my throat is still scratchy and I'm losing my voice so I have to stop talking or I'm gonna get in trouble
Thanks for watching you guys. Thanks for subscribing. Stay positive dream big and we will see you on
Maybe for a snow dog short depends on what we do this weekend. If not, we will see you on Monday
Oh
