Today, Husky Boy's adopters finally came to pick him up. We are all very sad that he has left us, and are missing him already. Cleo and Lucky are quite sad too...
Here are the latest pictures of Husky Boy. We hope that he will love his new home, and that his new owners will love him as much as we did, if not more.
Hey everyone,
I have been asked several times for new pictures of Cleo, our Labrador Retriever and Lucky, our little rascal. Well here they are... Hope you guys like them. They're spoilt rotten and we love them to bits!

Cleo & Lucky messing about...
I have just been bitten, quite severely by Husky Boy...not that he intended any aggression towards me though. It was an accident...
See what had happened was that Lucky escaped from inside the house as I was taking the laundry out to dry. And in 2 seconds Husky Boy attacked him, and they started fighting. Cleo came to help Lucky and I somehow managed to get Cleo back into the house. And then in trying to separate Lucky and Husky, Husky Boy bit me in the leg (my left calf to be precise) and then in the left forearm. Luckily for me Lucky then diverted his attention and so he let go. After some doing I managed to get Lucky back into the house. It was only then that I realised how severe the bites were as there was blood everywhere on my porch, and blood was still pouring out of my arm and leg.
I still didn't feel the pain then. I quickly ran my arm and leg under the garden tap for a few minutes, and then quickly rushed in to see if my Lucky was alright. After a quick look over I realised that Lucky was a really lucky dog. He was okay although Husky boy had gotten him by the scruff of his neck twice!
It was only after I knew that Lucky was alright did the pain set in. The blood was still streaming down my leg and arm. I rushed upstairs to wash my wounds some more and quickly sprayed some antiseptic solution on. There was some weird stuff coming out of my leg. I put some gauze and micropore tape on and somehow managed to drive myself to the clinic! It was quite hard actually cause I drive a stick shift!!! So the left leg needed to work quite a bit on the clutch, and the pain was beginning to really get to me.
Anyway I had to get 6 stitches in total on my leg, 3 on the front of my leg and 3 on the back of my leg! It's the first time I have ever had stitches and I think I collected quite a few!!! And the doc told me that the weird stuff coming out was actually the fat tissue from my calf. Yuck!!!
I am quite annoyed actually cause it means I can't walk or drive for the next week or so... When I said walk I meant take Cleo & Lucky for their hourly long morning walks. Bah!!!
So what prompted Husky boy to attach my Lucky??? Well Lucky has always anoyed Husky from inside the house, by barking at him through our windows and grilles. And nipping Husky Boy's ears every now and then if Husky Boy lay too close to the grilles. So I guess it was pay back time. And I really had to get Husky Boy off my Lucky cause he may have killed him. Sigh... I wished so hard that these two would get along... But they just don't. I think it's also due to the fact that they both are males and are therefore quite teritorial!
On another note, here are some important things to remember if you are ever bitten by a dog.
1. Remain calm
2. Make sure you wash your wound as thoroughly as you can
3. If you have antiseptic, put that onto your wound, and cover it with a gauze and plaster.
4. Get yourself to a doctor ASAP to have it looked at (and stitched if necessary), and GET a Tetanus shot!
Right I am going to stop typing now cause it's really hurting my left hand. Well that's my story for today...
Hello everyone,
It has been sometime since I last posted. Been extremely busy with looking after the Husky, and work too. We have decided that he is in fact an Alaskan Malamute as he is far too large to be a Husky. However we're stuck calling him Husky Boy...
Husky Boy is doing well and his foot is healing nicely. His very large open wound which spanned his entire paw has now shrunk to the size of a 5 sen coin... he does tend to get quite excited at meal times and loves to play now that he is feeling better. This doesn't help the condition of the foot though. So we try to keep him as quiet as possible.
He has put on 2kgs since he arrived at my house which is great as he was literally skin and bones. His ear infection has cleared up too. Cleaning his ears were quite a chore and I had to use like a dozen Qtips for both ears each day as the infection was really bad. His stomache infection has also cleared which is a good thing.
Shalina, the vet, that rescued him has decided to adopt him, and he will be going to his new home as soon as he is well enough... Will try and post some new pictures of Husky Boy when I can.
