i'll go weeks without hearing it, but the best way to describe it is imagine a bark that all the other dogs would make fun of a dog for having because its such a shitty bark.

This is Kenny, a 15-year-old lurcher who is mostly whippet. He stays with me when one of my friends has a job out of town. His bark mutates into weird dog singing, particularly if there are other dogs on TV.

15!!!
mine just turned 11 last month.

Seriously. When I inform people that Ken is 15, they look around anxiously like we're just sitting here, waiting for the dog ambulance because he shakes like most sighthounds do, takes a daily pill for dog arthritis - but is in really good shape. He could be nearer 16, because his age was estimated at 12-18 months when he was adopted as a rescue in late '98.
He is unusually amenable to being photographed, and has the most gorgeous, long paws:

Well the trick is he doesn't. Luckily huskies have self cleaning coats so unless dirt is caked on it kinda just comes off over the course of the day.

Awesome! more new(ish) husky owners, she looks great, how old?
― tsrobodo, Monday, 12 August 2013 22:12 (ten years ago) link
I know right??? She still has dog breath tho but I love to bury my face in the angora scruff on the back of her neck and inhale xp
The rescue group (n0rsled) thinks she is 1.5-2yrs? She is our first husky...and our first dog! But she seems to have unusually good manners and has between so well behaved the last 2 days we spent alone with her (she is being kenneled by n0rsled bc we haven't signed our pet lease yet).
― just1n3, Monday, 12 August 2013 22:15 (ten years ago) link
Her original owner almost beat her to death (broken back, broken ribs, punctured lungs, broken teeth, fractured jaw, to name a few of the injuries), n0rsled rehabbed her and rehomed get but it only lasted 6mths - she was left unattended with their elderly small dog and she pretty brutally attacked it, so they surrendered her back to n0rsled.
Her name is neko btw

Max is a cutie! My husband really REALLY wanted an all white husky, but it was neko we fell in love with.

Neko deserves some people who love her, obvs.

Frustrating to think how many stupendously shitty dog owners there are in this world.1.5 looks about right though I probably would have guessed younger. Wish I was brave enough to go for a rescue for my first dog, and really hope things go well with Neko. Max came from a breeder across the street from my dads. Used to play with her original breeding pair when we were kids.
His parents both have a fair bit of brown but he only really has it on the ears, they're known to change colour though he hasn't really got any darker so far.

Shedding has begun but the furminator has been a lifesaver. Only real issue is the way his fur sticks in my nappy ass hair.

Oh and the inexplicable peeing on my bed. knows not to go anywhere in the house but if I leave my room for 10 seconds he will be up on there murdering my mattress.
― tsrobodo, Monday, 12 August 2013 23:40 (ten years ago) link
I read (last week, when my dog peed in my bed) that they do that because they're scared & want to bury their scent with yours. In my Doug's case, he's become too attached to me being home all the time and then I took him to grandma's house for a week and she & I went out, leaving him there for a few hours. Got back to a smelly bed. :(
I love Neko :)

Yeah that makes sense seeing as he's also done it in one of my shoes, trying to get a bit of a headstart on separation anxiety before he's older but he still hows like a werewolf on helium when alone.
