Alone in the yard? Eating Dirt? Where do they sleep? Fan Friday #15 - Siberian Husky

What's today Shiloh? What's today? Is it Fan Friday? Shelby, is it Fan Friday? Say, it's Fan Friday! What are you looking for? I don't have anything. What are you looking for? Silly, oh my silly Shiloh. Shiloh found the biscuit in my pocket. First question for today is from Kristen on Facebook. All the neighbor dogs must be outside. First question for today is from Kristen on Facebook. She wants to know, if I always go outside with Shiloh and Shelby in their new fenced in yard. What do you, what do you want to tell them Shelby? We don't normally let the girls come outside unattended. Mainly because, Shelby's a really fast digger. She's way back over there in the corner right now. Um, she could probably dig underneath that fence. I don't really think she'd jump over it, but you never know, but she could probably dig under that fence pretty quick. Shiloh on the other hand, I don't think she'd go anywhere. She uh, she likes us too much to go anywhere. Yeah, if we're ever not out here, I usually keep Shelby on a tie out. Shiloh, like I said, she doesn't go anywhere. Shiloh got out one time at our old house and she ended up on our front porch. In my opinion, I wouldn't leave your dog unattended in a yard, even in a fenced in yard for long periods of time. I mean, if you're just letting them out to go to the bathroom, that's probably fine. But if you're thinking about leaving them out there in the yard for five, six, seven, eight hours a day while you're at work, I think you'd probably want to actually go with more of a kennel than just a fenced in yard. You want to make it something that they can't dig under or jump over. Oh, here comes Shelby! Hi Shelby! Oh, she hears the neighbor dog. Angie from Facebook wants to know if our dogs eat dirt. I know I told some of you guys this. I mentioned it a couple times. Shiloh has been eating dirt lately. I don't have anything in my hand, really. Shiloh's been eating dirt lately. We took her into the vet and we had some blood work done on her and they told us that the reason she's doing it is because she's low on iron. So, if your dog's eating dirt, it can be dangerous because there's parasites and things like that they can get from dirt. So it's not something you really want them to do. If you can figure out why they're doing it, it's a good idea to figure out why and try to stop it or prevent it. So yeah, Shiloh is actually on vitamin supplements right now to help balance out her iron because she was low in iron and that's why she was eating the dirt. She was trying to tell us that something was wrong. We just didn't understand what she was saying until we took her to the vet. Justin from Facebook wants to know where Shiloh and Shelby sleep at night. Usually right here on the water bed with us. Shelby usually likes to lay right up there and put her head on the pillow and be right in between us. Shiloh usually lays right here in the corner. I don't have anything. She usually lay right there in the corner or if she gets uncomfortable she'll come over here and lay on the floor. You can see there Shiloh fuzz on the floor. But yeah, they sleep on our bed. That's where they like to sleep. They like to be with us. They're spoiled rotten. We also got some pictures submitted this week. Both pictures were submitted through our Facebook page facebook.com slash gone to the snow dogs. The first picture is from creative pet keeping from YouTube. It is a beautiful drawing of Shiloh. I absolutely love how this turned out. I have to print it out and hang it on my wall. The second picture we got was from the H dogs on YouTube and this one is a sketch of Shelby.
