to my sis

HAPPY BIRTHDAY BREE !!
YOUR THE BEST AND YOUR ALL MINE !!

HUSKY LOVE AT CHRISTMAS AND FOR THE NEW YEAR

From the desk of Bree and Zeke's mom.



Sitting here 2 nights before Christmas Eve, Bree is curled into a "husky ball" in her crate, most likely dreaming of snow and Zeke is
spread out next to my chair.

I sometimes get on utube and watch videos from the movie Eight Below with songs that people have put with them. I found one that
is with the song "Keep Holding On". Emotions of how much I love Bree and Zeke overflowed and of course I started crying! Some of you know the love you have for your kids, but like many I don't have kids of my own.
I Love my husband and his four kids, I Love my mom and even though he is gone I still Love my dad. Each of these people have a special place in my heart, each Loved differantly but each Loved. Even Mr. Chuggs and Topher my kitty kids have a special place that only belongs to them.

But the Love I have for Bree and Zeke, each day I realize is much
differant, much more unique. Everyday I come home from work and have a conversation with Bree, She answers my questions in her Husky way of talking ( yes Huskies do talk ...if you really listen)
and no I'm not a crazy lady ...ask any Husky owner they will agree!
They have such free spirits that teach me to live in the moment. Don't
"worry" about the tomorrow ....enjoy each snow flake and take in the
cold air ( -5 degrees tonight) if you can feel the cold air Thank God you can feel !!
Huskies have it in their blood to RUN. My biggest fear is to loose Bree or Zeke in that way, Then I look into their eyes and tell myself to
let THEM live in the moment let them keep their free spirit ( of course they have to keep it in the fenced yard)
I thought I could write down in words what I feel for Bree and Zeke
but I can't. It's so deep inside, so much Love.
Maybe their unconditional Love that they give me is rubbing off.
If I could only treat some people as good as I treat Bree and Zeke.......if only it were that easy... or is it?

Merry Christmas to all the Dogster Pups and Catster Kittys
May 2009 be full of HUSKY LOVE !

I have experienced the 2nd child syndrome!

Yes that is right I am the second child ( husky child that is)!
I received a voice mail yesterday from my grandma Sharon...My dad's hu-mom wishing me a Happy Birthday !
Um ....my birthday isn't until the 26th ...at least that is what MOM had on the calender !!! "No" grandma said when mom called her back
"BREE was born March 26th and Zeke was born June 23rd".
oops!

Second child syndrome =
~Fewer pictures taken then the 1st child

~My puppy book not filled in ...wait a minute I didn't even get a puppy book ! BREE DID !

~We both get toys ...however in pictures I notice that Bree had alot more !

~And for me ...my MOM forgot my birthday!

Mom has been loving me to death and brought me toys, pig ears, homemade doggy cookie treats and a new stuffed lamb with a squeeker that I'm trying to destuff! She said she was sorry and promised that we would celebrate ALL WEEK !

Even though she forgot my very important day I forgive her
because I'm still her favorite boy!

SO HAPPY BELATED BIRTHDAY TO ME !!

My Best Friend MARLEY IS HOME !!

When mom logged us on to dogster yesterday we read how much we missed in a day an night and half a day !!
My pal MARLEY went missing ...in the mountains of NC!!
Thank God we also read that He was found !!
Found that is after his mom cried all her tears and had no sleep
with that pit in your stomach feeling. I know how mom felt when
I ran away from her but she caught me before I was out of sight ...can't imagine and nor do we want to find out what that feeling
is that Marley's mom and dad went through.

We were not here to help .....However members of HUSKY HEAVEN
were there for Marley's family and we must say some fast action paws there were!!
Those of you who were there at the need of MARLEY's family should
be DOGSTER HEROS OF THE DAY !!
MARLEY's mom had pups to go to when she needed reassurance that
he WAS COMING HOME....and now he's HOME !!

WELCOME HOME MARLEY ....now STAY THERE !!!

~ your best pal ZEKE

HAPPY FATHERS DAY TO BOTH MY DADS!

Happy Fathers day pups !

First off I have done quite a bit of howling this weekend!
My hu-brother is learning the clarinet !! Oh my husky howls do my ears hurt !!
Everyone else thought I was trying to sing with him..not to hurt the poor boys feelings but he has alot to learn! Mom said he did very good for just starting this week....hmmmmm.

So everyone had their laughs with my howling and his playing !

I wanted to wish my Hu-dad a Happy Fathers day! I love him so much ! He's the best when it comes to rough play and long walks!


and my special HAPPY FATHERS DAY TO MY DAD BLUE !
I'm still praying and looking for you DAD...someday I just know we will find you and you will be home again!

Hope everyone enjoys their Day!
~Zeke

I MISS YOU DAD !!!

Today is one year since they last saw you
your kids are now born dad and all we know is your name is BLUE

Sure they have told us stories of your lead dog days
how you would jump and run through agility courses
and all your stuborn ways

I saw grandma not too long ago, you remember she is your mom
with tears in her eyes as she looked in mine and said I was just like you
handsome she said whiney and sweet...whinning because she was touching my feet!

Your pictures are posted all over her walls
your sledding, running and agility too all with your name posted
" MY BLUE".

I wish we could find you DAD
They've searched everyday
you have a website, a myspace and a Dogster page
you and I have friends on Dogster Dad who want to find you too
Their spread across the miles Dad from far across the land
they have spent their time and money they have helped us take a stand

We all want you home Dad
Please our howls and cries
I will never give up Dad until I can look into your eyes.

PLEASE HELP MICA !!!

PLEASE HELP MY PUP PAL .....
Mica-the Wonderpup! Mica is doing some fundraising for IMHA Research. IMHA stands for Immune Mediated Hemolytic Anemia.
This is what took Mica away to the rainbow bridge and her mom is
continuing the battle to help find a cure and prevention for this disease.

Here’s how you can help:
Be a pal and corral MICA and her pack.

MICA - http://www.dogster.com/dogs/504880

MIRRA- http://www.dogster.com/dogs/581776

TPGOO- http://www.dogster.com/dogs/718265

If someone chooses Mirra, or TPGOO without Mica, it won’t count. With each new corral Mica’s IMHA Research Fund gets a small donation. A bonus comes if Mirra and TPGOO are also selected.

The tally of the number of corrals MICA has on 31 May 2008, after Mirra's Woofday, means A DOLLAR for EVERY CORRAL! For example with 1000 corrals, then MICA'S IMHA FUND gets 1000 dollars. These donations will be from the same kindhearted GSD who raced her last fall. It was a close race and Mica lost at the 11th hour in corrals. This Special GSD & his owner, who wishes to remain anonymous, believes so much in Mica's cause, IMHA research & K9 Blood donations. He too, lost a fellow K9 Officer to IMHA.

This disease may not be well known, but it is the LEADING BLOOD DISEASE in both dogs and cats & second only to thyroid disease for immune system illness.
PLEASE HELP MICA AND THIS CAUSE...YOU NEVER KNOW WHEN YOU YOURSELF MAY NEED IT HELP !

Please pawmail Mica http://www.dogster.com/dogs/504880
if you need information to make donations!

THANK YOU for your support thats only three clicks away !!

what can I say

lot's of trips are in store for us in the up and coming months.
Lit'l trips but we'll take them anyway !

Mom and I are going to go up and visit my brother on the 21st of this month.
I sure wish my dad BLUE would be there too.
I'm excited to see Matava ! He's a show dog winner now...I hope he still likes me.

Then in May mom and dad are taking Bree and I on a camping/hiking
trip to Hocking Hills!
I'm not to sure on this tent thing that mom was talking about. Bree has slept
in the tent in the backyard but never away from home with animals all around us! I'm not too sure if I'll be able to sleep !

This Tuesday I'm going to have my puppy wart on my mouth checked.
It should have fell off by now and is only getting bigger ( the size of a dime now) So the vet wants to check it out to see whats going on.

Bree is much better after my tantrum I had on her eye. It's still black but healing well!

Hope everyone has a great weekend !
Howl at you soon!
~ZEKE

Bree ...I'm sorry

Bree I'm sorry about our fight today.
I didn't mean to make your eye bleed.
You scared me and I was protecting myself.
I would never hurt you intentionally.
From now on I'll leave your buried bones alone and
I'll only eat mine.

Please forgive me.

I LOVE YOU your Lit'l Brother
~ZEKE
