This is my dog, Lambert.
Today is Friday!
Yep! It's Friday again!
Josh wants to know,
Was Shiloh born in 2001 or 2002?
Shiloh was born in 2001.
November of 2001.
But, we got her in February of 2002.
Maria says,
As you had mentioned before,
One of the first dogs you will get before Husky,
was a Shiba Inu.
Why didn't you get one?
The reason we wanted to get a Shiba Inu,
was because we knew they were a little bit smaller.
The reason we didn't get one,
was because we ended up getting Shiloh instead.
Pretty much!
Pretty much what happened.
I had really done a lot of research on the Shiba Inu.
Then, Shiloh kind of showed up.
We got her instead.
I'm glad we did!
PetLover582 from YouTube,
wants to know,
if any of our dogs have ever been in a pet store?
Yes! Actually, one of the first videos
we ever put up on our YouTube channel,
was Shiloh and Shelby going to PetSmart.
They've been to PetSmart and Wags and Whiskers.
If you go to our YouTube page,
you can search those names.
Those videos should pop up.
Oakley has yet to go to a pet store,
at least with us.
We're hoping to change that here in the near future.
We'll have to take her to PetSmart.
I think, she'll enjoy it.
Leo says,
I have plenty of yard and I walk my Husky,
but he continues to try to jump over the fence.
I've tried everything!
What do I do?
As you can tell, we have a nice big fenced in yard.
Also, fortunately the dogs
have never tried to jump over your fence.
Is the dog doing it
while you're home?
If so, maybe try being outside
with the dog.
If the dog is doing it while you're not home,
maybe try not leaving the dog
outside while you're gone.
Those are a few options you can look into.
I know a lot of people have problems with Huskies
jumping their fence.
I think, one of the biggest reasons we don't seem to have a problem with it,
knock on wood, is because when they're out here,
we're out here.
There's almost no amount of time,
maybe a few minutes,
that they're ever out here by themselves.
We just don't leave them out here by themselves,
because they can dig under the fence and jump over the fence.
You just never know!
They can get out if they really wanted to.
Those are a few suggestions I have for you.
Try those and let me know what happens.
What happened?
Nicole wants to know what our favorite movie
with Huskies in it is.
You know, as sad as the movie is,
I would have to say, it's Eight Below.
Eight Below is probably our favorite
and Snow Dogs is probably our second favorite.
Then, Snow Buddies, that was cute.
I liked that movie because it had a Husky in it.
White Fang is a good movie too.
There's a couple that we like.
He-Wolf wants to know,
does your Husky continually
pant while riding?
Oakley does.
Until she falls asleep, Oakley just pants.
Oakley pretty much does that all the time anyway.
Shiloh, not so much.
Shelby will pant
for the first little while and whine.
After that, she pretty much
calms down and just goes to sleep.
Yeah, for a little bit they do,
but not the entire ride. Thank goodness!
We go on some long rides with them sometimes.
Cameo says,
I have two male Huskies and neither of them
are very interested in toys or games or play time.
They like to be walked and ran with.
Is there anything I can do to encourage them
to be interested in playing with me?
I love to throw balls and play tug of war with them.
Probably not.
I mean, there may be certain toys
that they really get into.
Shiloh...
We've had her... You know, she'll be eleven years old this year.
Shiloh has never been
interested in toys.
Very rarely,
when we get the ducks, she likes to squeak them,
but she doesn't play with them for very long.
Then, she kind of just gives up on them.
Oakley... We haven't had her
that long, but she seems to have no interest
in toys. Shelby...
As you can see, as she's laying
there with her tennis ball.
She is completely opposite.
She loves toys, but only when she wants
to play with them. She'll chase the ball and bring it back
once in a while. Not always.
As you guys saw in a video we did not long ago.
I don't really know if there's anything
you can do to encourage them to play more.
Maybe, a certain kind of toy.
We are going to be doing a few more toy reviews.
Maybe, we'll find one that
the dogs that don't normally like to play with toys
with, will play with. Maybe, that will give you an idea.
We haven't tested them out yet.
So far, there's really nothing I can tell you.
Edward says...
My Husky is teething!
What do you recommend we do?
Frozen... If you take a towel
like a dish towel and you freeze it
Get it wet and freeze it and give it to them.
That will help. There's also teething rings
you can buy for dogs.
I don't know if Walmart carries them, but I know
Petco and PetSmart usually carry them.
You may want to try one of those. That will help
ease their pain a little bit.
Maria wants to know, have you ever used a doggy door?
Why or why not?
We personally have never used a doggy door
because as I said a little bit ago
in this video, we don't like to leave the girls
out here by themselves.
We like to be out here with them
when they're out here.
We've never used a doggy door just for that reason.
I'm sure they would probably be fine with it
but we've never tried it.
That's all we have for Fan Friday
today you guys. I hope this video uploaded
correctly. I have it set to upload since
I'm not going to be home. So I hope it works
and I'll be checking it as soon as I get back.
Um... That's it.
We might not see you guys
on Monday. Monday is Labor Day.
Not sure if I'm going to have a video ready
for Monday or not. We got a lot going on this weekend.
But I will do my best even if
it's just a short one. Don't cry
Shelby. We'll try. We'll try.
Thanks for watching you guys.
