Here's my new little guy, Thor! The lady and I talked about getting a dog for a while and got turned down since we didn't have a fully fenced in yard. A few months later, new house, etc. and she finds this guy on CL. Apparently some military family living in a tiny apartment had him and thought he was too much work. My gain. Day we got him. Check out the cat peeking around the door.    Squinty, about to eat my Tigers.

quote:He's so cute!! Man, the people who had him before sure didn't give him a whole lot of time before they gave him up, did they? Thanks! They had a really small apartment, a two year old daughter and another kid on the way, and I think they were getting transferred. He was 3 months when we got him, and it's been a month and a day since then. As far as his training/handling, he's been fantastic. He's my first dog as an adult (I'm 35), and I've been really stressy about doing everything correctly. I'm crate training him, which he HATED at first, but I think this was due to some bad advice: A dog trainer told me to keep him crated constantly for 4-6 weeks, and only let him out to produce and 15 minutes of playtime every few hours. Being a husky, obviously this didn't work, so he's crated only when we're gone or sleeping. I try to take him with me as many places as I can so he can meet lots of people and get used to it. He gets to go to the dog park/beach every couple of days and is AWESOME with other dogs. Loves riding in the car and when I blast Baroness, so he's got good taste in metal! After about 3.5 weeks, it seems like his potty training is actually working; he's coming to me and whining when he needs to go out, so I guess this is a good sign! More pics soon!

enzeen posted:I really like his mask. He's got a fleur-de-lis on his forehead. Very sharp looking pup. The folks that had him before thought it looked like a spade, thus his old name of Spades. I think it's closer to a club or a fleur-de-lis, which is fitting, since most of my fam lives in New Orleans and I'm a Saints fan! Pics in a few! EDIT: Somehow I've been on this site for 6 years and never bought an avatar. Anyone in this thread any good at making them? EdsTeioh fucked around with this message at 05:49 on Sep 28, 2010 |

WolfensteinBag posted:Zeus is super cute, too! Thor? He's doing pretty well! The potty thing is getting a lot better, but lately he's still doing this deal where he gets a bit excited and leaks when he comes to tell us it's time to go out. Then I get little trails of pee on the hardwood. He's also getting some pretty bad food aggression. I've started holding his bowl while he eats so he doesn't get all growly, but he's doing this thing now where he really doesn't even chew and tries to get his whole bowl of food down in one go. Other than all that, he's really well behaved, and his puppy nipping is waning (thank god). How old is Buddy?

I LOVE that blue tongue picture, it looks like it's photoshopped or something since his mouth is still super white. Seeing pictures of him makes me wish I could have seen Buddy as a puppy, I bet he was ridiculously cute, too.

I was just about to say that Thor never sleeps in the Huskyball, then I see this:

^^^ This is how Thor USUALLY sleeps; I guess he got the vibe that I think that huskyball is AWESOME!! Then again, living in Florida, splayed out is probably the most comfortable way to sleep.

WolfensteinBag posted:Yes. Yes you do. I've been so busy with work and school lately that I've been neglecting all of my internet poo poo. bad news/good news though, he almost died a couple of weeks ago, but he's back up to fighting strength, with probably more energy than before.

I was thinking I need to get some new ones of Buddy, too. All his pictures look the same, though, just him laying around, for the most part. 
It's too hot to do anything fun outside with him, but I'll have to figure out some sort of excuse to take pictures...

WolfensteinBag posted:Geeze, what happened? Long story short, my (now ex) GF tried to OD on klonopins and Thor ended up eating a bunch of them. There's a wall of text post about the saga over in the Breakup Megathread in E/N.

It's...better, I guess. Still rough, but Thor and I are managing. He and I just split a gyro and he's asleep on my feet, so that's a good thing.
