Likes: SNOW! I'm also always up for a walk and I now like backpacking! It's my duty to protect my domain from stray cats. I also love to travel and stay in hotel rooms. I love meeting new dogs and their owners!
Pet-Peeves: My sister Molly The Brat (well, sometimes), people who don't think I'm absolutely beautiful, and when the car is stopped in traffic! I also hate the rain and really hot/humid days. My coat gets frizzy and I get grumpy. Rubber toys are awful!
Favorite Toy: THIN RAWIDES! YUM! Sadly, I'm loosing interest in toys now......
Favorite Food: Cheese (in any form, as in dip, solid, or in curd). I'm also known to demand warm sweet potato biscuits. Vanilla ice cream is pretty pawsome too!
Favorite Walk: Around town, in St. Michaels, and at the Farmer's Market. Molly and I are now packpacking at a local arboretum and it's pawtastic! Mommy found a dog park, but it's a far drive.
Best Tricks: Oh, no, that's beneath me! I wouldn't even entertain the idea. Although, Mommy says my selective hearing abilities are beyond compare.
Arrival Story: I was dropped off at the pound at age 6. I spent several months there. No one wanted me because I was "old", big, and black. I think people were put off by my teeth when I smiled at them. But, when my now Mommy walked down the aisle, I knew she was the one for me! So, I sat by the cage door quietly while the other dogs yapped away. She was impressed! I think she was sold when I flashed her my beautiful toothy grin and fabulous blue eyes. Mommy took me outside and I sat right by her side, showing her my loyalty. Mommy also appreciated the fact that I was potty trained and love to spend time in my crate. We've been together ever since!
Bio: Yeah, my so-called sister Molly was added a year later. We didn't get along at first because I had a lot to teach her. I get pretty jealous sometimes. But, we are a pack now and we take care of each other.

The Last Forum I Posted In: Mean things "non dog" people say...
I've been battling Ehrlichia again this summer. Thankfully, I didn't have to fight as hard this year as last year. No weight loss, just some lethargy, which Mom thought was due to age.
Age? Who's she kidding????
OK, just because I'm now on arthritis meds does NOT make me an old fart, no matter what Molly says. Hmph!!
Mom says I'm getting annoying, but doesn't seem to mind too much because I'm getting some of my fire back. I's hot baby!!!!
I'm starting to herd Mom again. I can't help it, it's that Border Collie thing in me! I gotta make sure she walks safely around the house!
I've also started picking on Molly again. Hey, she's the Omega in this household. She can be thankful that I haven't sat on her lately.
I usually go upstairs with Mom when she settles down for bed. Molly is usually snoozing at this time downstairs. Mom and I go upstairs and while Mom is getting into bed, I will sometimes lay down at the head of the stairs, hanging part of my body over. I'm on the watch for that little twerp of a sister of mine. Molly gradually gets the picture and heads over to the stairs and looks up. Yup, I'm there staring at her, daring her to come upstairs. Molly tries to convince me to let her up by whining and wagging her tail with this huge silly grin on her face. Nope, no can pass Molly.
Mom then gets very annoyed with me and calls me over to her. Since everyone says I'm "old", I play into the "old" thing and pretend that I'm stone deaf. She'll then flap her hands around and call me on to the bed. Nope. If she's REALLY mad she'll get up out of bed and grab me by the collar and drag me into the bedroom so Molly can climb the stairs. Ugh. Then she gives me a little slap on the hind parts (which are NOT overly large and bony in my opinion, thank-you-very-much) and tells me I'm naughty. In typical Husky fashion, I ignore her and settle down in my lovely special bed beside Mom's bed.
Mom's praying that her check for our vet doesn't bounce!
Mom took both of us to the vet. After some routine tests were done, Dr. Steve told Mom that I have Ehrlichia (again). Thankfully it's only mildly positive. I don't have the weight loss like I had last year and am at a healthy 68.5 pounds. I do have some stiffness which may be due to the Ehrlichia, so Dr. Steve gave me an antibiotic.
Dr. Steve also wants me to start on Glycho-Flex 3 for arthritis. It will take about 4 weeks or so to notice a difference. We're both hopeful it will help me be more flexible.
So, all of this cost serious bucks, but if it makes me feel better, Mom's all for it.
