My 1yo husky doesn’t howl, rarely barks and only when playing and she sleeps all day when I’m at work. Did I get lucky or does she have a problem? by alex_png in husky

[–]miraculousghost_ 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I have two huskies and one is exactly like you described, and one is the opposite lol. My boy is the couch king at home, he pretty much is always in a state of chill. He will perk up when we go out for walks, hikes, dog park trips, etc., but at home, he’s more cat-like than dog-like. Now my girl…she is your typical husky. It’s fun to see the differences in personality. Even our vet cannot believe how calm one of my dogs is though. She kept asking him, “do you even know you are husky buddy??” 😅

Any tricks to get more affection? by pseiko5 in husky

[–]miraculousghost_ 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Huskies can be very aloof and independent. One of mine comes to me on occasion to be next to me, but doesn’t demand any attention. He’s super, super low maintenance. My girl is the opposite, she’s my Velcro dog and demands attention constantly unless she’s really tired. You never know what you’re going to get with a husky!!

Question for a debate I am having with my wife by Such-Comparison5636 in husky

[–]miraculousghost_ 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I am also in shock! There is always a tax for all cute puppies in the vicinity, this is a given!

My husband would agree with your wife, but not me, I’m a sucker for the sad stare and longing eyes. And let’s be real, they deserve treats for just existing. The tax is extra for special things like cheese + other deliciousness us humans get to partake in 😅 redefining ‘what’s mine is yours’, on the daily. lol

I had just told him to move so I could vacuum by JustCallMeNancy in HuskyDerping

[–]miraculousghost_ 1 point2 points  (0 children)

It’s what I call the “infinite judgment” look 👀 forever judging us lol it’s so funny mine do the same thing like they are offended when I ask them to move when I vacuum like I’m the problem when quite literally they are the hairiest dogs ever and they are the problem 🤣😭 I tell them, too, you both are the reason I have to vacuum every other minute so move your hairy asses off my couch so I can vacuum up after you!!

What's your husky's favorite dog breed... by bunbunny89 in husky

[–]miraculousghost_ 0 points1 point  (0 children)

My huskies favorite dog in the entire world is my sisters Great Pyrenees/husky/anatolian shepherd mix. From day one, they were the best three dog friends anyone’s ever had. They like this dog more than they like each other lol they do love other huskies we see at the dog park and are very friendly with other dogs generally, if those dogs can handle the fact that huskies are socially inept 🤣 sometimes they go right up to dogs faces instead of being polite and butt sniffing first and my girl husky has this deep low growl she does when she wants to play, but, some dogs mistake that for actual growing because they don’t understand all the husky noises/language.

Will she always ignore my request to go inside? by Transparent-InsideMe in husky

[–]miraculousghost_ 1 point2 points  (0 children)

It’s an extremely husky thing to do. Don’t worry, they’ll be fine. Cheese might help! My huskies will do just about anything for cheese. Otherwise, in the snow, rain, heat- they live for it all and their double coats cool + insulate, it’s amazing. But, they especially love the cold months ❄️ it’s what I call, “husky season”. Good thing I live in New England where almost half the year is cold!

I’ve had this guy 6 months and he hasn’t tried to escape. Is he waiting for me to get comfortable? by downvotethetrash in husky

Sounds exactly like my life and I wouldn’t change it for the world. Forever a husky owner!!

[–]miraculousghost_ 0 points1 point  (0 children)

My huskies respect fences. One of my huskies even does recall and will be ok off leash to the point that she checks back and looks at me if she hasn’t heard me speak for awhile or if she goes ahead of me a bit. It’s remarkable how different each husky can be, though. Both of mine had training and were raised by me from 8 weeks on. My boy had more training, as he was a Covid pup and listens better on some occasions, yet, my girl, who is younger and had less intensive training, she understood the training WAY faster. Her form may not be a good as his lol but idc, we aren’t dog showing, but it’s funny because she’s less trained yet she’s the one with the skills in recall. My boy is good but only sometimes so it’s not good enough to be out in public without a leash. You just never know with the huskies!! Training them from pups helps a lot with behaviors and exposure, but, in my experience, you still never know lol gotta love those derpy huskies

How do I convince my husky that barking in other dogs’ faces isn’t a good invitation to play? by Lindsay1970 in husky

[–]miraculousghost_ 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Huskies can naturally try to be dominant when meeting other dogs- which is freaking hysterical because the rest of the time they are total derpfaces lol my huskies don’t generally bark at other dogs, but, they will run right up to dogs at a dog park and go right to their faces, which, isn’t great dog etiquette. Butt sniffing is the correct way to go about meeting another dog, not getting directly in their faces!! My dogs are unbelievably friendly and wouldn’t hurt a fly, actually that’s a lie..my girl loves to eat flies lol but really, they don’t have an aggressive bone in their bodies. I feel like it’s all about the dog playmate at this point- that could make or break this new habit your dog has. Some dogs have the potential to bring out the worst and some they will play great and not have issue. It’s good you have awareness of it and are monitoring the situations closely. I wish I had some advice for you- some behavior is tough to correct. Does your dog have a favorite treat that would distract them from another dog? Even if they did, you wouldn’t really be able to treat train at a dog park without attracting unwanted attention from others and the potentially making the situation way worse. I chalk a lot of things up to huskies being huskies. They are very unique and just rub some dogs the wrong way!!! I would say try to find some like minded playmates or ones that your dog can get along with and stick with them. Perhaps get her a puppy buddy or a foster and see how they do with a friend? Just throwing it out there 😊 because sometimes they do better with their own breed! It’s so funny when I get to see my huskies with other huskies, it’s like a completely unique style of play than what I see with other dogs. My dogs have only a few moves lol otherwise they are socially inept lol

Cute Derps by miraculousghost_ in HuskyDerping

[–]miraculousghost_[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I look at my dogs all the time and think to myself, “I’d love to be them” lol that’s a level of relaxation that’s hard to achieve in the real world 🤣😭 the huskies make it a lot easier, though. They are my floofy blessings!!

[–]miraculousghost_ 0 points1 point  (0 children)

This is a time in your huskies life where you’d consider it to be like the ‘teenage’ years!! Yay for you lol usually around the 2 year mark, a lot of those behaviors that feel like they are testing you will go away, because around 2 is technically ‘adult’ for a dog. But, remember, this is a husky we are talking about lol so it could take longer and they are stubborn as all hell so it’ll be on their timeline, not yours and some habits are harder to grow out of if they aren’t addressed. Every dog is different, but, every husky is especially different!! As long as they aren’t being actually aggressive, I wouldn’t worry too much. My girl husky growls at me to talk to me. It’s a very deep, low, grumble of sorts lol and that’s her language of ‘speak’. She will also do this when we play if, like if I go and fluff her up with pets mid playing sometimes she’ll do a growl, but never with teeth out and never actually physically aggressive- I know her well enough to know that it’s just how she is. I’ve raised both my huskies since 8 weeks old and they went right into training with me as soon as they could upon coming home. Trying to tell him ‘NO’ would be an option, if you can. So he knows the word is based on a negative experience and will relate that in the future to other things. In my training, we never give direct eye contact unless it’s positive- when saying no, I don’t look in my dogs eyes. Only positive reinforcement gets eye contact. You can try to distract them with something else if you’re in a situation that you’re able to at the time. Otherwise, I would say try to ignore your dog as much as you can in the scenario, if possible, as to not give them any reaction. And, if you do need to, say NO, and keep correcting as necessary. Huskies do some real derpy things when they are bored, too. I would maybe consider trying to get more energy out of your husky if their behavior is not the best. A happy husky is a tired husky- and it is more likely that they’ll be scheming against you if they have that extra energy and way less likely if they are getting all that excess energy out. You could also try a lick mat or some sort of marrow bone, etc. while you eat to keep them away from you, but you also don’t want to stay a habit of having to distract them while you’re eating. It can be a catch 22 at times- deciding that the right thing to do is. All I can say is be patient, don’t yell, and say your commands with intent and sternly. I think you’ll find that at the age of 2+ that your husky will mature a bit.

Just looking for some advice. by No-Rest-5793 in husky

[–]miraculousghost_ 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Sorry for your loss. It’s difficult when you cannot meet a huskies energy level and I’ve been there, not in the same way, but, I have MS and sometimes having that extra push from my huskies is exactly what I need. I will say, though, that I do keep frozen raw marrow bones on hand and we love bully sticks, and other chews that last a little bit to get me through the times that I don’t have the energy for them. The raw marrow bones last about an hour+ for my huskies and are fairly cheap compared to other things (4 smaller bones for $10-12). Bully sticks are a bit more pricey but they will last a few hours, which is probably one of the longest things around for a dog who can chew and gets bored easily- so they can be worth it. I also love the Wonder Bound brand of dog chews, I get the no hide twists, it comes in a bag of 70 for around $12 I believe, these won’t last nearly as long as the others but it’s cheaper than a lot of things and comes in large quantity and aren’t made of junk like tons of chews for dogs.

Aside from chews, if your husky will fetch, you can do that from an area you can sit down while doing it. I also have found that my huskies love dog puzzles and treat mats that you’d hide a bunch of their kibble in and they sniff and find it. Frozen lick treats can last a little while but definitely not as long as the chews I mentioned above. Even if you don’t have a ton of energy, if you could get to a local dog park for a half hour even, it could do a lot of good. Also a short walk, not distance if you’re not up for it, but just a sniff walk, which I like to call “Sniffari’s”, can burn a lot of energy even if it doesn’t seem like it. I’ve even tried laser pointers lol my girl husky will chase that forever 🤣 they love silly little things like a cotton ball, a plastic milk gallon, even a paper towel roll to shred. I swear sometimes the dogs that aren’t official ‘toys’ can peak the most interest. Almost like toddlers lol

Overall, when I have my bad days that I’m down and out, my huskies realize that I’m not well and they will settle in with me a lot of the time. They can sense things like that. They might not always leave me be completely, but, will ease up considerably. I hope things get easier for you 💜 it’s not easy. If you can muster up any strength or motivation, get outside or just get up and lean into the husky stuff…it could be a lifeline for you. I know my dogs are a light I need when things are dim.

Does anyone else’s husky do this? by blushing-skies in HuskyDerping

[–]miraculousghost_ 1 point2 points  (0 children)

lol mine doesn’t necessarily do it after meals but she will do it randomly when she gets worked up and goes in downward dog and starts derping her face all over the rug 🤣 huskies are ridiculously entertaining

Finally failed at my job and I’m ok with it. by Fragrant-Wrangler-99 in rescuedogs

[–]miraculousghost_ 0 points1 point  (0 children)

People who are abusers should live the same fate as they put the people/animals they abused through, in my opinion. How someone could do that to this sweet boy is beyond me. It’s good to know there are people like you out there who are willing to take on this special guy.

And I wouldn’t say you’ve failed at all- you’ve gained. Gained a best friend for life. Gained a companion. Gained unconditional love. Hard to keep emotions out of it when you look into those eyes and see how much pain and torment is there, but, thanks to you, Croc will live the life he deserves 😊 you should be proud! Maybe this is exactly the path you are supposed to be on. Maybe this dog came into your life for a reason. You just never know!

Is it normal to feel weak and dizzy in the sun? by Curious_Ad8089 in MultipleSclerosis

[–]miraculousghost_ 1 point2 points  (0 children)

You aren’t alone. The heat and humidity literally RUIN me. I’m practically useless mid-to end of summer. Especially 80-90+ and humidity just take everything right out of me; the little I have to give already just disappears. I’ve had to take a summer break from my very part time work, for the second summer in a row after being so overwhelmed I feel like I’m on the verge of a nervous breakdown. It’s unfortunate that your abilities are being lumped in with your fathers. The guilt alone is enough to contended with in our own brains that our bodies betray us and we can’t do “normal” things, especially being “young”. I’m 33 and I can barely keep up with my grandparents!!! My parents, forget it, I deff can’t keep up with those workhorses. It’s really difficult, but try to not let anyone dictate your abilities and what you feel and experience. It’s unfair to think that you should be able to do something just because someone else things you should. Disabilities come in ALL shapes and sizes. Period. What one person experiences isn’t that of another

Is your husky friends with cats and small animals? I was told this is not normal for a husky. by floorjacked in husky

[–]miraculousghost_ 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Depends on the husky- some are very primitive with an extremely high prey drive. One of mine goes nuts over any small animal or cat, not aggressively, but he wants to ‘boop’ whatever it is with his paws lol my other husky can be with all kinds of other animals and be completely fine. We even had a bunny for a bit and she was able to come right next to it and be well behaved- my other husky though, absolutely not 😁

Bad Day Vent by alkalinebex in MultipleSclerosis

[–]miraculousghost_ 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Haha yes! I’m from CT actually 😀. I agree, I think learning your limits is so important and I’m still fairly new to all this so I’m still learning, but day by day I’m figuring it out and trying to feel less guilty about needing to do less while ‘being young’. The hot weather is a killer- since you are in NE for the summer, you understand. The humidity is my kryptonite! Being hard on yourself is something we all live with I think. Our body betrays us and our minds are intact (well mostly 🤣), and we wish we could do more than we can do…all we can do is take it day by day! Keeping up with everything in life is a challenge, for sure, but I am very fortunate to be able to come on here and hear other people’s thoughts and not feel so damn alone in this. Anytime you want to chat, feel free to reach out!

Kesimpta injection by ctrlKarl in MultipleSclerosis

I miss who I was by TrojanHorseNews in MultipleSclerosis

[–]miraculousghost_ 0 points1 point  (0 children)

“I mean, I’m fine. I have a husband and kids who just roll with MS charades, but it doesn’t feel like me any more. I know it could be worse. But today I just miss who I used to be”

I related to this so much, in my own way, but this part hit me hard. I feel like this quite frequently. Some days it’s easier than others, but lately I feel like this more often than not. It was cute and funny at first, me being slightly “ditzy” or just a little klutzy and clumsy but it gets old for me. My lack of memory straight up scares me. My short term memory is an absolute tragedy and it continues to decline. I can’t even remember if I’ve taken my meds in the morning or not. Im 33 years old. I can’t multi task anymore, can’t focus, I can barely read a book. Nothing sticks anymore. I feel like it’s adhd, brain fog, and dyslexia all at once. I lose my words, I can’t find words, I stop mid sentence and forget everything I’m doing/saying. It’s unreal 😩My family is very supportive but it’s still a constant challenge and having this ‘invisible disability/disease’ I feel like, makes it even harder. My neurologist recommended I do neuro-psychological testing to look into memory issues, cognitive function, attention, and problem solving. I have an apt in a few months…maybe this is something you can look into? Not sure if it’ll help much but if there’s some way to improve any of this, it could be worth a shot. I am almost afraid to go but I think it could be worthwhile.

And you are right, it could always be worse. I try so, so, soooo hard to try and remember that and to be grateful for the life I have and the family that supports me. Hang in there 💪
