Getting along a bit more today! We played some fetch in the hotel room last night and besides Kes stealing the ball a few times, they did good playing together! Octavia is already started on a ‘out’ cue for dropping the ball which is nice! She did great in the crate, whined a bit when we moved around but other than that she was quiet and held her potty!

Kes sounded like she was a huge fierce dog when she heard someone near our door, scared the heck out of us lol

About 7 more hours until we are home, and hopefully there is still daylight so I can get some pictures of O with my camera!

Ziqipeak is great but ssssooooo expensive. That bag would last a 50lb dog 4+/- days.

It would be far cheaper to find a good kibble and sub in fresh foods or feeding raw/cooked (a good nutritionally sound recipe), even another freeze dried like grandma lucys, darwins, honest kitchen would be cheaper... I mean.. if cost is a factor. ^^;

Most of the time when people feed raw they don't do it right.
Muscle meat, often still on the bone.
Bones, either whole or ground.
Organ meats such as livers and kidneys.
Raw eggs.
Vegetables like broccoli, spinach, and celery.
Apples or other fruit.
Some dairy, such as yogurt.
Is some things that pets.webmd says a dogs diet should typically consist of (raw).

If raw makes up more than 20% of the diet, it should be balanced. For PMR, this means a 2-2.5% of body weight is fed, with 80% of this being muscle meat (generally any whole cuts of meat you could get from the store) with 10% bone and 10% organ. Half of this should be liver, and the other half organs such as kidney, spleen, pancreas and brain. Organs such as heart are fed as muscle meat, though things such as intestine often aren’t fed as they lack nutrients.
Raw eggs, steamed/cooked vegetables and fruit, kefir, coconut oil and apple cider vinegar are optional, but do have benefits. Fish oil should be fed, as well as a vitamin E supplement, as the diet tends to lack in this, though it can be skipped if over 20% of the total diet if fresh fish low in mercury (mackerel, trout, sprays and sardines).

If anyone is interested in feeding raw, you should definitely do heavy research and, if you can, join groups on social media, such as the Raw Feeding Community - which I believe has a blog/website.

Awhile back I got a 8.8lb bag of ziwi peak it was for one dog it was great dog loved it. got it cause their was a deal on it but not getting it again way to expensive.

Some people use it as a topper or they use the small bags as training treats. But to use as a main food it’s very expensive.

If cost doesn’t matter yeah go for it! it’s very good/high quality food! But a good/high quality kibble food is good to! nothing wrong with kibble and adding in some fresh foods to the kibble.

Anyone know if huskies can be white and longhair? I'm wondering if my dog is really a purebred, she doesn't have a pedigree but it's what I've always thought. I've seen pictures of mediumhair white huskies, but not really longhair.

could you share a picture?

Huskies are long haired.

there’s also a wooly coated husky, look those up?

Oh yeah, she's a wooly coat.
Also, here's the picture.
I was just curious, because it's such a rare thing in huskies to be white AND longhaired.
