I Love You!!

So about a month ago I was home for the weekend, and as a result of boredom I was searching through the many random videos on youtube, and I stumbled upon this. As we all know, communication with your dog is key and creating a loving relationship is just as important.

All my life I have been told that dogs cannot speak as we do, but after watching the short clip below, i'm pretty sure all of those people have been proven wrong. Huskies have a very wide range of vocals that can go from high whines to the low-pitched “woo” sound some people mistake for growling. In fact, it's also a Huskies way of showing he likes you and/or loves you because Huskies are very talkative dogs especially when they bond closely with their owners (just like the video!) I have learned (from experience) that Siberians have been known to mimic household activities and can even talk just like humans! Don't believe me? Well check it out...

Holding Down The House!

The genuine love of people is what has made the Siberian Husky such a popular companion. Many families are pleased with dogs that have a sixth sense for protection, and that is exactly the behavior that Siberian Huskies do not display. As an owner, I can say from experience that the Siberian will happily sit and watch outsiders come in and out of their owners home. My girl Angel always plops herself comfortably right in the middle of the living room, and for hours watches my friends and I come in and out of the house throughout the day with her modest, and unchanged demeanor. It has been confirmed that huskies do not have guarding instincts and will normally greet “intruders” the same as any other visitor. I am certain that Angel would playfully watch a burglar come into our home, give them a lick on the ankle, and help carry out our tv.

Snow Control

Born and raised by the natives of Siberia called the "Chukchi", the breed has been recognized as an economical use of transportation, and have been used for thousands of years. The Siberian Husky dates all the way back to the ice age, when their traits were put to the test, and the breed was used to pull the sleds of humans and aid them in survival in the harsh conditions. With an impressive set of strength and high intelligence, the breed has been given the ability to master almost any terrain.

In 1908, Siberian Huskies were used for the first All-Alaskan Sweepstakes, an event where "mushers" take their dogs on a 408 mile long dog sled race. Being quite happy to work for hours on end, the breed is being used for those very same purposes to this very day. Although, a single Siberian would go through some trouble pulling a full sled on its own through the terrain, so instead, the true strength lies in numbers and as a team, they are able to accomplish an immense amount, pulling sleds and supplies while covering great distances.


The debate over how much weight a Siberian Husky can pull has been debated for years, and after conducting a little research, it seems as if the breed has the ability to pull the equivalent of it's own weight. In essence, if a Siberian Husky weighs 60 pounds, it will have the ability to pull roughly 60 pounds. 

The Siberian!

The Siberian Husky, a well known active and energetic breed, can be recognized by it's double coat and distinctive features. As the original descendants of the "Sled Dog", the breed has become a household favorite and an intelligent companion. Angel landed on our doorstep at the beginning of my freshman year back in High School, and since then, there is no denying the unconditional love.

One of the most amusing qualities about my girl Angel is her inability to bark like the average dog. Instead, a docile and unique "yelp" is let out, (sounding almost as a little child!). Since we adopted her (at 5 years old), her anomalous personality has began to shine, proving to us that she truly is much more intelligent than we initially thought. She has always been an extremely quiet dog, but don't let her silence fool you. She is well aware of the actions she is not supposed to do, and she can't help but sit on her little round bed in the kitchen and with that look of  guilt on her face when she has done something wrong.
My mother has done a terrific job making hr obedient, and she has created a relationship with her that I find to be truly remarkable. Every night, Angel sleeps on the little round bed in the kitchen, and the words "kitchen girl" has her hears perked straight up to the sky and her paws scurrying off in an instant.
When I came back home last Thanksgiving break, I was expecting to walk through the door and have her come trotting right on up to me. But no, instead she was mad at me, refusing to play with me until I caved in and shared with her some of my lunch. After that, she forgot all about me going off to school.
Somehow, I tend to find myself blowing in her face and ears daily, fully aware that it drives her absolutely insane. I always get my face too close when I do this, and she playfully tries to hit me with her paw, as if we were surrounded by ropes in a boxing ring.
I'm not going to lie, I am always chasing her around or teasing her with treats. One thing I always get a kick out of is when I throw a blanket over her and cover her completely. She pauses for a second, and then frantically tries to find her way out. The process never gets old, time after time I find the look of playfulness and curiosity peering at me through the blanket that is still half covering her face.
