Rescue, Adoption & Happy Endings > i know someone who wants to breed dogs. dont know what to tell them

Teeko Home at last. It- was Destiny     Barked: Tue May 14, '13 10:44am PST  Oh sure, all purebreds go to good homes... Are you kidding me? Pretty sure Teeko is purebred husky. What I know of his life so far is that he was rescued from being chained up by one owner, fostered through a shelter, adopted to another person who let him run free too much, get hookworms, and either shaved him or let some punks shave him for kicks in the winter. Sure, he has a good home now, but his life was hell before. my posts | my page | msg me | my family's posts | gift me | become pals [notify]

Siberian Husky > Your Huskies weight and Age?

Teeko Home at last. It- was Destiny     Barked: Sat Apr 13, '13 5:22pm PST  Not exactly sure of age, Teeko didn't have a good start to life, ending up at a shelter somewhere close to a year old, adopted to an owner who neglected him, shaved him, and let him get hookworms and extremely skinny in just two months. He was 46 pounds when he was found roaming the neighborhood. Up to 52 pounds almost 3 months later. Vet said it seemed like a healthy weight, nice tuck at the tummy. Still looks a little thin to me, but that's compared to the larger, older, thyroid-impaired Kale, who is 6 years old and down to 70 pounds (from a high of 74, when he should probably be around 60 pounds.) my posts | my page | msg me | my family's posts | gift me | become pals [notify]

Siberian Husky > ✔ A head-count of all the Dogster Huskies ✔

Teeko Home at last. It- was Destiny     Barked: Sat Mar 2, '13 2:23pm PST  Teeko is a red male, probably less then two years old, in the process of growing out his coat and gaining back weight, after being shaved and neglected by prior owner. Looking much better after almost 7 weeks, being dewormed, and fed and loved bunches. (He was about 59 pounds when adopted and 46 pounds when found less than two months after adoption by prior owner, probably about 53 pounds or so now.) He's MY dog now! Loves his girl buddy Ace, who is a two year old husky-shepherd mix. He won't know where to pee when Kale moves out, since he loves following my daughter's husky around in the backyard and peeing where Kale pees (Boys!! ) All around sweet natured boy, very playful with Ace, very loving with me. He was found less than two months ago, and feeling better every day. my posts | my page | msg me | my family's posts | gift me | become pals [notify]

Rescue, Adoption & Happy Endings > And I was never a "dog person"

Teeko Home at last. It- was Destiny     Barked: Fri Jan 25, '13 4:55pm PST  But Teeko is a keeper, not going anywhere, unless he gets out by accident my posts | my page | msg me | my family's posts | gift me | become pals [notify]

Teeko Home at last. It- was Destiny     Barked: Fri Jan 25, '13 2:18pm PST  Teeko has dug his way out of our backyard. I think he's been working on the area by the gate since he got here. But he's been found quickly, and we happened to have some heavy rock on hand for at least a temporary fix. Sigh. We didn't have these issues with Kale. my posts | my page | msg me | my family's posts | gift me | become pals [notify]

Siberian Husky > surrendering to the crate

Teeko Home at last. It- was Destiny     Barked: Fri Jan 25, '13 8:55am PST  Of course, as soon as I brag on Teeko settling right into the crated at night routine, he paces and whines half the night. His stomach may have been a little upset though, so I'm crossing my fingers that's all it was. my posts | my page | msg me | my family's posts | gift me | become pals [notify]

Siberian Husky > surrendering to the crate

Teeko Home at last. It- was Destiny     Barked: Thu Jan 24, '13 6:11pm PST  Teeko is a stray I took in a couple of weeks ago (was chipped, not going back to prior owner). I was able to round up a crate, and while there has been a little whininess going in at night, it seems to have helped to kind of soothingly "shhhh, lay down" and wait until he's down before going to bed myself. If he's still standing when I leave the room, he doesn't settle down so fast. He's gotten the routine pretty quick, knowing he gets fed in there and a nightly treat that only comes out at bedtime. This is with two other dogs who are not crated at night - One rescue who was crated at first but has proven trustworthy in time, the other never was that we know of, but he was well trained when adopted from the pound. my posts | my page | msg me | my family's posts | gift me | become pals [notify]

Food & Nutrition > Stray needs to put on weight

Teeko Home at last. It- was Destiny     Barked: Thu Jan 24, '13 5:29pm PST  This is Teeko, the skinny stray I think he may be gaining a bit, will probably run him by the vet in a few days to see how fast. Kind of wondering what a healthy rate of weight gain is. Initially weighed in at about 45 pounds when he should be around 60. He roughly Ace's height, and she weighs 61. I ended up splitting Ace and Kale's normal twice a day feedings into three (instead of 1 1/2 cups twice a day, getting one cup 3 times a day) and but feeding Teeko about the same as their old twice daily meals. That way he gets more without creating any jealousy over more treats/food. It's complicated by his lack of fur, due to the idiot who shaved him, but his spine and ribs still need to be less pronounced, but I don't know how long that should take. my posts | my page | msg me | my family's posts | gift me | become pals [notify]

Teeko Home at last. It- was Destiny     Barked: Sat Jan 19, '13 10:02am PST  Meet Teeko, Ace's newest best buddy! Still don't know if I can keep him forever, but I had to start a page for this special boy that stole my heart. my posts | my page | msg me | my family's posts | gift me | become pals [notify]
