Yeah, I've seen Martin's dog before. That doesn't change the fact that the cuteness factor goes through the roof everytime he posts a pic.

Martin: apart from the massive shedding factor, how are huskies to maintain?

edited to add: omg, my heart just leapt into my throat. I want one of those, Martin.

[Martin]

If you brush them, it's ain't so bad. And they're high energy dog, so walking them, or better, running with them , or like I do, biking with them is a must. Because these guys are really smart, and cunning. You want them tired, not unlocking their cage with their nose as mine did twice.* Forget it if you're a couch potato, and won't go to the dog park.

You also need a fenced yard. They'll run away. It's in their genes... all huskies do that.

But they're the best dog ever.

*we now have a lock, just hooking it without completely locking them.

Oh, god, I remember the new Taiga pictures from the other board! That top one, the "head tilt" picture made everyone die from the cuteness! Does she still have "Flamingo Bob"?

[Martin]

It died a long while ago. She shredded him to pieces. No plushies for her. 90% of the toys, including Kongs, are worthless investments for me. Rope toys still last....

[Lisa]

Awww, I'm so sorry to hear about Flamingo Bob's untimely mauling!

[Matt]

Damn...the husky's out, then. We live in a townhouse, so we lack the 'fenced in yard' factor.

[Martin]

She also killed 2 birds, a hare and her spawn.

You can have one without a yard. It just has to be walked a lot. You just can't let it without a leash. I have friend with 2 of those in a condo.

I had a fluffy little white dog named Baby and a basement cat named Hobo when I was a kid, and they used to do their murderous rampages on the neighborhood bunnies together.

[Martin]

And by talking, I mean this.

[Ed Hocken]

Her spawn?! It had a pup?

[Martin]

The baby rabbits.

[Ed Hocken]

Oh okay, now I get it.

Still, unlocking the door with her nose?

"Clever girl".

And watch yourself, people. This dog only responds to french.

[Ed Hocken]

As always, if I were to get a dog. Like I HAD to get a dog.

Welsh Corgis FTW.
