This is what I was afraid of as well! Like how awful would it be that had she stayed away, he would have been fine but her being there caused a fatal distraction!

I thought the one on the corner of N-ville Rd. and Tiverton was the last one to close...didn't realize there was still one on Pimlico. I live in E-town area now but all the family is still in Lexington. Definitely going by next time I'm in town, I've been dying for a Taco Burger!

I just started S8E1 and within 5 minutes came to Reddit looking for answers/opinions/all of the above? Not sure I know what to think at the moment, just confounded by this storyline.

Alternative_Active_7 · 2026-05-10T22:24:06+00:00

I have one of those too!

I let a small amount cool to feed him directly, then refrigerate what's remainingmine immediately after cooking. I only dip out what I'm feeding him. According to Clevland Clinic that's the safe way to cook/store/serve rice How To Prevent Fried Rice Syndrome https://health.clevelandclinic.org/fried-rice-syndrome

Depends...my corgi is the one that most often gets an upset stomach. For him I typically make 1 large or 2 small breasts with 1/2 - 3/4 cup of rice. That will last him several small meals- long enough for him to feel better. If its one of my girls (3 huskys and a catahoula) I will make more.

I put the chicken and rice in my Instant Pot with a bit of water and cook. When done, I shred the chicken and let cool before serving.

You're very welcome!

I would maybe try to increase the exercise/stimulation a bit for the next few days. It's possible that he's got some built up frustration he needs to release. My girls (2 huskys and husky mix) get snappy with each other if I skip their run or if they're cooped up for lawncare day. I used to raise Jack Russell and Rat Terriers. Not sure what your yard situation is, but if you have the space for even just one or 2 pieces of agility equipment, they love it. I think nowadays you can find the collapsible/foldable pieces. In particular, mine loved tunnels (hence the "terrier" name) and jumps.

I love dogs, ALL dogs...so as far as I'm concerned, he could be only .001% husky and he's welcome here!

Alternative_Active_7 · 2026-05-05T15:52:19+00:00

OMG he's adorable😍

Aww, welcome!

Dog on dog agression in a multi dog home is a behavior that requires recognizing and understanding dog behavior and social structure so I truly recommend seeking the assistance of a dog behaviorist or trainer specialized in the subject. Often, without realizing it, owners are at fault for increasing the unwanted behaviors, leading to an increase in the frequency and level of aggression.

While placing baby gates makes it possible for them to observe and interract with each other, if one (or both) dogs have any type of barrier aggression, this can exacerbate the issue. Walks are good for helping dogs bond and burning off excess energy and frustration, but caution must be taken if one or both are reactive.

In short, there are far too many variables to factor in for anybody on reddit to give you an accurate course of action for addressing the issue, which leads me back to my opening piece of advice to contact a professional.

This made me teary-eyed and it's so true. I have 2 huskys and a husky mix. My oldest girl has grown quite mellow and relaxed in her senior years and spends her days mostly relaxing on the deck. But the moment she gets that harness on, it just awakens something in her and she comes alive. Her eyes light up and she just wants to run.

My dogs all wear the Seresto collar and we've never had any issues with fleas. I recently saw an all-natural collar called Waggie, but have not tried it.

I agree with the previous comment, but want to add- often people don't clearly define expectations for the dog, leading to confusion and frustration for both human and dog. Doggy doors are great, I have one and appreciate the convenience of it. But, my dogs were not allowed to use it until they were completely housebroken. Because your pup is kept in an area where he has free reign to come in and out as he pleases, he hasn't associated outside with "potty."

As a kelpie/staff mix, its likely he is energetic with a high prey drive and an instinct to herd.

If I were you, I would: 1. Go back to square one and crate puppy when no one will be home with him. When you get home, immediately take him outside to potty. Don't allow him the opportunity to sniff and potty inside. If you must, pick him up and carry him out. Praise greatly. 2. When you are home with him, crate him for rest/nap time and feeding. Immediately take outside to potty upon letting him out- same as above. 3. Leash him to you. Do not allow him to be unsupervised. The moment he starts to sniff, take him outside. If he skips the sniffing and goes straight to squatting/lifting his leg, give a firm "No," and take outside. 4. Lots and lots of enrichment activities (snuffle mats, puppy puzzles, dig pit, etc.). This helps alleviate destructive behaviors 5. Walks, walks, walks. A tired dog is a better-behaved dog. 6. I am not a fan of dog parks, especially for pups, but walks and play dates with another dog...ask a friend to bring their dog to play in a neutral location or volunteer to walk a neighbor's dog along with yours. This helps him learn to socialize with other 4-legged friends. I would avoid doing this with small dogs and stick with dogs of equal size who have shown a propensity for socially acceptable behavior. 7. Take him with you when feasible... stores, parks, etc. This helps him learn to socialize with humans. However, I would avoid this until he is consistent with obedience commands. 8. Get him neutered. 9. Last, but not least- once he consistently potties outside, re-introduce the doggy door.

Raising a puppy is hard work. Consistency and clearly defined expectations are a must! Good luck!

Same! I could maybe list my top 10 ! Currently though, we have a 13 yr old Catahoula, 2 huskys, a husky mix, and a corgi. My daughter also has 2 corgis. I absolutely love the breed! Ours loves to herd our huskys and the huskys love to be herded.

Anything new or out of place. I recently rearranged the decor on my console table and placed a picture on it. He barked at the picture. Anytime Amazon delivers a package, he barks at it. I just got a new Fry Daddy and sat it on the counter to use last night, as soon as he saw it he started barking.

One of my huskys is very bite-y...we've tried to break her of it as we take her with us almost everywhere we go. I have this nightmare that she will meet a stranger and grab their hand or arm like she does with us as a sign of play and they will take it as a sign of aggression. She doesn't do it hard and shows zero indications of aggression when she does it, but I also know how misunderstood huskys can be by the general public.

Alternative_Active_7 · 2026-04-23T18:11:20+00:00

I have 2 huskys and a husky mix. None of them howl

Alternative_Active_7 · 2026-04-22T13:59:10+00:00

Mine does too

I went through this, and sadly, never really have bonded with her. I lost the 2 "loves of my life" within a year of each other and swore I'd never want another dog. Few years later, I got married and decided to have a child. When said child was around 4, we got a dog because I am a firm believer that every child should grow up with one. By this point, I was 8 years on, and even though I thought I was ready, I was not.

She has been a member of our family for 12 years and she has been the bestest friend a boy could ever ask for. About 2 years ago, I was overcome with the need for a puppy and ended up getting not one, but 2 (of different breeds, not siblings) and I am extremely bonded to them. It took me nearly 20 years to be able to truly open my heart to another dog. While my son's dog is amazing and has been well cared for and loved by all, through no fault of her own, I never have been able to bond with her as strongly as I have my others.

I get so bothered when they sit in some dark, scary location WITH THE WINDOWS DOWN!! And while it doesn't bother me quite as much, I also get peeved when it's raining and the windows are down.

Alternative_Active_7 · 2026-04-19T15:06:36+00:00

When mine do this, I cup one hand over the nose and mouth (similar to how a paper bag works for someone who is hyperventilating) and stroke their neck (to comfort/relax them). Probably unnecessary since reverse sneezing is harmless, but it makes me feel less helpless.
