Alice
- Born: 4-11-2000
Died: 12-21-2010
City: Nicasio
State: CA
Country: United States
Alice was my first Husky. Typical Blk/Wht with brown eyes Diagnosed at age
4 with diabetes, and to most vets a surprise that I took such good care of
her that she lived another 6.5yrs. I changed my life around shots and
feedings meticulously every 12 hours, and never spent a night away from
her. Eventually complications began to cause kidney failure and I had to
let her go. She was the world to me, and I will never be able to replace
that first love.
She was originally known as Aurora Borealis, but became Alice before she was 4months old. I called her Alice, Pumpkin, Alice Pumpkin, Fluffer-Nutter, Precious, Pretty-Girl, Cowgirl and Wolfdog!
She loved car rides, camping, the beach, and stuffed animals with or without squeakers in them. She could talk many words and respond to many questions. She loved her big GSD brother, love to dig, loved cows (yes moo cows), and all other dogs. She was a great hunter of birds, moles, and squirrels. She was not a people dog, and and was a typical lovingly stubborn husky. She did not like typical dog toys or games, but liked to play hide-n-seek, I hide she finds me and I chase her, then hide again! She napped in the doorways, and on the stoop, and at night she slept either at my feet or on the couch and in the morning she never let me hit the snooze button.
Alice was my diary, she knew every high and every low in my life, and I of hers, and I shall never be able to thank her enough for being in my life.
All my love my dear Alice,
Love Mama

Frankie was a special once-in-a-lifetime Siberian Husky. Right from the
start you could see his independence, his intelligence, his spirit and his
big friendly personality. From his accomplishments, Frankie showed he was
a versatile Siberian Husky and one who was a terrific ambassador for his
breed. Though I didn’t know it when I named him, this was one Siberian who
would live up to his AKC name ??? he truly was the Chairman of the Board.
He had the most wonderful personality. From his stubbornness and
independence to the way he talked to me in the ring to let me know he was
having fun; from the way he ruled his pack to the way he let me know it was
biscuit time. Wonderful memories! I love this gentle dog for all he did
for me, for his spirit and for his honesty. Mostly, I love him for being
my good buddy and companion who shared a sofa with me. God speed
Frankie.

Jasper was our fourth Siberian Husky. He joined us in August 1992 and
quickly learned to hold his own against Kodi, Spunky and Nikki. Jasper and
Kodi, especially, became great friends.
He was our first to be shown in Conformation; and the first dog that I handled in the Breed ring. Lucky for me that he was a natural. When he walked into that ring I could sense his excitement; it was as if he was saying, "I'm here. Look at me! Let the show begin." Jasper had a long and brilliant career. He demonstrated his versatility and willingness to
work by excelling in the breed ring, the obedience ring and the agility ring. But, the best thing about Jasper was that he was my friend, my pal!
It was an immense privilege to walk into any ring with Jasper. He was an honest dog who gave me his best effort. The more we did together, the more I appreciated him for his willingness to work with me as a teammate. It was an even greater privilege to be his friend and to experience the
companionship of such a wonderful, loving, giving being who so beautifully represented the Siberian Husky. He was a once in a lifetime dog. He may be gone from this earth, but I am still proud to call him my friend...prouder still that he considered me his friend. He is and will always be sorely missed. May he forever be playing at the Rainbow Bridge with those friends of his that went before him and have come after him, and waiting until the day we are together again.

Aniaks Northern Spirit, AKA Autumn
- Born:
11/10/1998
Died: 08/31/2011
City: Wasilla
State: AK
Country: USA
Autumn was born an Aniak Siberian Husky. She was one of a litter of nine
puppies. She captured my heart right from the moment I first held her
little newborn body. She was always so loving and so well behaved. She was
also our very smartest dog. Her mother, N'Kia, was a "You want WHAT??
WHEN??, I DON'T THINK SO!!" kind of girl. Miss Autumn was a true "180" of
her Mom. She was so obedient and so easy to live with. She came to you
EVERY single time you called her. She was actually the ONLY one of N'Kia's
puppies that we ever opted to keep. Autumn was an "all-rounder". She could
be kenneled with anyone or trusted implicitly to just do the right thing.
She was one of the 22 that made the trip from California to Alaska when we
relocated. She really loved being in her native Arctic environment. Autumn
was a "kind" Siberian. She loved children and she loved puppies. Never a
mother herself she was a good role model for our Pack. We lost her to
breast cancer. I know that she stayed with us as long as she could. When
it was time for her journey North of the Bridge, she was so ready. One of
our granddaughters affectionately gave her the nickname, "Mott Chee Ma". A
silly name but distinctly hers alone. She loved being special and was such
a wonderful companion. She was with us from conception to her very last
breath on earth. She was also the last survivor in her litter. So
sensible, so together and so easy to live with. Saying goodbye was so much
more than difficult. I know her tired old bones and her cancer pain are
long gone and she, like the others at the Bridge, are healthy, happy and
awaiting our arrival North of the Bridge. It's just so darn lonely here
now without her smiling face and her woo woo opinions. We miss you much,
wait for us and we'll be along before you know it girl.

Aniaks Reach For The Stars, AKA Dashenka
- Born: 04/12/2000
Died: 10/13/2011
City: Wasilla
State: AK
Country: USA
How do you put into just a few words, a life so filled with love and
happiness? Dashenka was literally "The World's Happiest Dog". She could
beat you to death with her "Happy Tail". So loving and easy to live with,
each day with her was amazing. She had two litters for us and was adored
by her four youngsters that we kept with us. At any given time, you could
look outside and see her surrounded by her "kids" in the dog yards. They
literally shadowed her every movement with them. When D became a full time
housedog, they each watched and waited for Mom to come outside to join
them. Her absence is keenly felt by all who knew her. Dashenka had the most
amazing temperament and she passed that on to each of her nine puppies.
Still at four and five years of age, they continue to exhibit Mom's good
nature.
As far as being a "People Dog" she was at the top of the list. She was very talkative and independent. At meal time, she literally danced in circles all the way to her food bowl. She slept in our bedroom and as soon as we were up, we were greeted by lots of kisses and dog chat. When we had to go out, she would wait for us at the top of the stairs. She was like a wonderful shadow who followed us through our daily lives. It is so empty without her constant shining upon us. Each day, we mourn her passing, but are reassured in our knowledge that she is young and pain-free once again. We know she is playing as in days of her youth with those who she shared her life and love with at Aniak. We also have no doubt that she is awaiting our reunion at the Bridge. We really miss you D-Dog, Hugs and kisses are sent from all who remain behind at Aniak, Love you so much girl, Mom and Dad...

Bear was my snuggler. He was very empathetic and knew when I was upset or
needed comfort. When my first husband died in 2003 Bear was a great help.
He napped with me on the couch for years when I needed him. He hated
thunderstorms and one night nearly pushed me out of bed by moving closer to
me. I brought Bear into my second marriage and he quickly won over my
hubby and became his buddy as well. We will miss him terribly.

My soul mate and dearest companion. She reflected her wonderful maternal heritage. Tieva - Ebony - Echo - Melody - Lilly
She was the quiet one in the group of five siblings but always gently got her way,she was the pack alpha. She was the breath inside a whisper beneath the moon. Now only the silence remains.
As a young dog she didn't like to travel, always got car sick so she stayed home. The brothers and sister went out to the Shows. They did well but she was happy at home.
When she was 10 years old I took her to her first shows, she won two Best of Breed's and made the cut in Group that first weekend. She finished quickly and quietly went back home to play with her sister, mother, grandmother and enjoyed her life.
My life is not be the same without her and I'm so grateful for the time we had together. Whisper was Bred,Loved and Shown by me.
I will forever hear your voice, my sweet Whisper.
Godspeed dear one, your family awaits.

Mountain I looked at her and said that we were going to make many happy
tracks in and out of the show ring. Bill said that yes we would and that

Chapin
- Born: 7/29/97
Died: 7/28/11
City: Marietta
State: GA
Country: USA
She left as she lived – with dignity, grace and perfect timing.
Chapin was wonderful. She wasn’t demanding, wasn’t bad and wasn’t noisy. She was a lady right from the start, observing the goings-on around her with interest but rarely partaking in anything that would be frowned upon. She was the essence of biddable – whatever I asked of her, she excelled at, even if it wasn’t her cup of tea.
She was born breech, with her head stuck in her mother’s cervix. It was a difficult delivery and when I finally got her out, she was purple. A little bit of work pinked her up and she never slowed down after that. From slow-maturing lines, it took her until the day after her 4th birthday to finish her Championship, but to be honest, she would have finished much sooner if she had liked the show ring. She only played that game because she knew I wanted to play it. There were many, many times she went reserve and the judge remarked on her lack of enthusiasm. That was true – she went through the motions very well, but didn’t see the point in running around a little ring, standing still and looking pretty.
What she did see the point in was agility. Wow, did she ever light up when we started playing that game. She earned her Novice, Open and Excellent titles in just a few months and was on her way towards MACH when I was injured and couldn’t run agility courses anymore. She was content to take our teamwork and use it in the obedience ring, easily earning a title there, too.
She loved our hiking excursions. She was the first dog I put a hiking title on, and so had to cope with my lack of ability where putting on a dog backpack was concerned. On one hike, she managed to leap through the backpack not once but twice. Imagine walking a dog on a leash and suddenly the pack she had been wearing was on the leash behind her. Yep, twice she did that on our first hike. It was a little bit because I had the straps too loose and a lot because she was athletic, lithe and quick. Our 40 miles were so enjoyable as we worked on her packing title, and she often went on hikes after earning it just because she was such fun to hike with.
She loved being a therapy dog and going to visit her “old friends.” For a long time we went to a nursing home weekly and many of the residents waited for her arrival each Tuesday morning. She had the sense to know who could take her silliness and who really just needed a cuddle. Chapin liked everyone, but adored and flirted with men, so she was especially a hit with the guys at Sunrise.
She excelled at raising new members of our household. Besides missing her physical presence, that’s what I’ll miss the most about Chapin. She was the best of what an alpha bitch can be, always leading by example and gently molding puppies into great members of the family. Rarely did she ever even have to raise a lip at anyone. She’d just stiffen and whoever was misbehaving would straighten up and fly right, right away.
On her last day, she was silly, asking to go out a little more often than normal, and then frolicking around the yard. Before dinner, after leaning her head on my leg and enjoying a long neck-scritching session, she ran to the living room, poked her favorite toy with her nose and gave us a playful and loud “ahhh-oooo!” She cleaned her bowl, lounged around while we watched tv, and went to bed when I did. Bob saw her about an hour later and all was well. Fifteen minutes later, when he walked back through the bedroom, she was gone.
And that was so “Chapin.” About a month ago, when she was having a not-great day, I told her that she could leave whenever she chose to leave and it would be wonderful if she could just go to sleep and not wake up. I guess she thought that sounded like a good idea. We were planning a birthday celebration for her, as she was about to turn 14. She missed it by a little over an hour.
CH Kachme At Long Last of Yeti, CD, AX, MXJ, CGC, WPD, Therapy Dog Excellent, called Chapin after singer/songwriter Mary Chapin Carpenter and adored by those who knew her. She was born on July 29, 1997 and slipped away on July 28, 2011. She touched a lot of lives in her short life, and stole our hearts from the moment she was born. Godspeed, Chapin…no one could have had a better friend than you’ve been, baby girl.

Such a sweet little girl, Cheyenne. She was the most gentle, loving, cuddly
girl I have ever met. She was a rescue from WISH in Madison, Wisconsin
Siberian Husky Rescue. At the time I had gone to meet another Siberian, but
when I saw Cheyenne, it was all over...she was the one for me. Someone was
not good to her prior to her being in rescue. She had fears and took a
while to trust. She was my very first red and white Siberian, and she is
the one who opened up my eyes to Siberians of all colors. She was a lovely
soul. When I would ask her if she wanted "cuddle time", she would start by
play-bowing, then stretch out on her tummy, then crawl over to me where she
would roll over on her side to be hugged and pet by me. What a blessing to
have her in my life. She passed peacefully in our back yard. I am sorry I
was not with you in your final moments. I love you dearly and miss you
immensely. Kisses and hugs. Love your Mom and Dad.

Empress Mimi was a Siberian Husky/Border Collie mix who looked and acted
more like a Husky. Mimi had been at a local shelter and was about to be put
to sleep because she was too old (6 years old), black, and too big at 70
pounds. I was captivated by her beauty immediately and she was remarkably
well behaved. Mimi had a love for life and has traveled around the US and
Canada. She had a magnetic, diva type personality. I miss her every
day.

Gabe came to rescue as a service dog that was being retired in 2003. He was
only about 4. He would warn when the owner was having a seizure. The owner
became to ill to keep him and he came to rescue. Then he went to live with
the Bucchieri family who loved and cared for him for the past 8 years....
He was loved and will be missed.
I have never lived with a more caring loving creature that Gabe and it was a privilege to share the short 8 years we had with him. Her thought he was a lap dog even though this wooly guy was 60 pound. He would sleep with on the bed with you or later in life at the side of your bed. When waking the first thing he would do is kiss your hand good morning. He always greeted me at the door when I returned home from work. I think that is what I miss the most.
Gabe saved my life last year. Before I knew I was having a heart attack he alerted me and off to the Hospital I went.
Just a week ago Gabe started whining whenever he moved, the vet tried pain meds to no avail. After much discussion with the vet it was time to let him go. He passed peacefully with out pain.
We know that is somewhere chasing squirrels and having a great time.

Hi everyone,
I apologize for this long email, but I wanted to share some last photos and history of the best friend a person could ever have.
His name was "INO" (Hawaiian, for Storm), a beige cream color Alaskan Malamute-Siberian Husky mix who I adopted on Jun 9, 2001.
For a dog his size, he was the sweetest thing anyone could ever meet and he was beautiful, both on the inside and outside.
= = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = =
"INO'S STORY" (Born around Nov. 16, 2000 - Deceased on Dec. 30, 2011)
I first saw "Ino" at an adoption fair at a local PetSmart in June 2001. When I went up to him, he was sitting up, and he leaned up against me and smiled.
Besides being a beautiful dog, I could tell he had a sweet personality to match. The lady who was fostering him told me he needed a good home.
I never had a dog before, so I wasn't certain and left, but when I got home, I couldn't help stop thinking about him. So I returned and asked about the possibility of adopting him.
I found the website listing him for adoption (which I kept). And made arrangements for him to come visit to see how it would work out (me having a dog for the first time ever and him, finding a good home).
The first thing he did when he came in was pee on my carpet, but I didn't take heed. We took him into the back yard and he seemed to like it.
After a week, we arranged to go pick "Ino" up to take him home. We coaxed him in the car with bacon we had had for breakfast. Needless to say, he pee'd again on my carpet when he came into the house. Luckily, "Ino" learned to do his business outside on newspapers on an elevated plywood I built for him (which was convenient for both of us).
We had found out "Ino" had been abused as a puppy and was sent off to a pound. He would have been put down if not for the kindly gesture of a lady attendant that baby-talked to him.
He licked her hand, so she knew his fear of mostly older men was because he had been mistreated as a puppy and kept caged.
When we got him, he was shy but still very sweet. The first week I took off of work and slept beside him on the floor for the whole week.
In the middle of the night, he would wake up and I'd say everything is okay and he'd look at me, then go back to sleep, knowing I was besides him.
That following week, it was off to doggy training school and I worked with him to lose his fear of older men. Because around children and women, he was always smiling and happy to be around them.
He realized with me besides him, looking after him, no one would ever hurt him again and that he knew he was loved.
And he grew, boy, did he grow. He eventually became a big dog (over 100 lbs), but he was just so sweet and lovable. He didn't bark, but he would "talk", make "woo woo woo" sounds to me. When he did bark infrequently, like when someone came to the door, it was a deep bark.
At night, I would sometimes lay besides him when he was going to sleep and massage his legs or back. And he'd reach out his paw as a way of saying "thank you" as he grinned in enjoyment. We both seemed to know how to make one another feel good being together.
We reached a point where he would always be able to tell me what he wanted, whether it was food (by licking his tongue around his mouth), going for a walk (by looking at the leash), or he wanted a snack (by laying his head in my lap or nudging me).
He was extremely intelligent and knew exactly how to manipulate me. And even though I'd get annoyed at times, I still gave in. Whenever I'd bring out his leash, he would always dance around in happiness, even after 10 years, he'd still do the same little head bobbing dancing in a circle while I tried to put the collar on him.
He used to sleep in my room, right at the foot of my bed. But as time when on, I could no longer allow him to sleep in my room because going up the stairs was causing him pain.
And he slipped a few times and hurt himself. In those instances, I'd go sleep on the couch downstairs so he'd know I was there by him while he recovered.
He used to dream, sometimes kicking his legs like he was running, sometimes yelping (maybe from bad memories as a puppy). But whenever he'd suddenly wake up, he would look over and see me there. Then go back to sleep knowing I was watching over him.
I used to complain so much about all his hair, because he seemed to shed all the time. At least twice a year, in Spring and Fall, he would blow his undercoat and it was everywhere. I guess that's what Malamute-Husky's do.
It's funny because now he is gone, I have picked up all the bits of hair he left, especially in my car, and have put them into a plastic bag so when I finally get his ashes back, I can add them into it.
He was getting older, and when I'd take him for a walk, he had slight shakes in a leg when he'd stop to pee. But to look at him, no one could believe he was 11 years old. He looked great and everyone used to comment - He's such a beautiful dog!
All the neighbors knew him and the kids just loved him (as did we). We thought he'd be around at least until he was 14 or 15. But alas, it was not to be.
On Thursday (Dec 29, 2011) at 3pm, I noticed "Ino" had a bloated stomach and was acting strangely so I called the Vet. I took him there and they told me to take him to a Pet Emergency Hospital immediately.
I was hopeful it was just something that could be fixed, maybe drainage, maybe medications would help.
After running all kinds of blood and urine tests and finally an ultrasound x-ray, they called me the next day to tell us the prognosis wasn't good.
"Ino" had a tumor growing near his heart, which was putting pressure on it. It was causing a liquid build-up in his stomach and around his heart.
I was devastated as I knew what to expect. We were told even if they drained the fluid, it could refill again quickly or he could suffer a stroke.
When we came in to see him, other than the bloated stomach, he didn't appear ill. In fact, he was so happy to see us, smiling, hoping he was going to go home like he always did after a Vet visit.
Needless to say, we kept crying our hearts out. Because he was so happy and wanted to just go home. But we knew that wasn't to be.
We had no choice but had to euthanize him, even though besides the bloated stomach, looked healthy and happy.
We took the last photos of him at the clinic, which we would like to share with everyone.
They led us from one room into a carpeted room with chairs so we could spend some time with him.
And in "Ino" fashion, he pee'd on their carpet. I guess they didn't walk him and we couldn't because of the fluid build-up around his heart.
They brought some towels in and I found some carpet cleaner, so I sprayed the area so it wouldn't smell, and laid down some doggy pads and towels. They said this often happens.
Then in another area of the room, we laid down a blanket and "Ino" sat on it.
They told us they would give him a sleeping sedative, which would put him to sleep. Then they would administer the sedative that would stop his heart.
They asked if we wanted to stay. We said we'd stay for him to sleep, but would leave as I didn't want to hear his heart stop.
We hugged "Ino" and he smiled, then the nurse began administering the sedative and he slowly laid down his head. I kept kissing him on his forehead as he fell asleep.
Then we left the room, but I peeked into the glass window of the door as the nurse began giving the last sedative and was stroking his head. I looked at him a last time and cried again.
I was at least glad "Ino" relieved himself before he was put to sleep. It was a lasting memory of when I first got him.
They said they'd call us in about 2 weeks as we opted for a private cremation with his remains returned to us in an urn.
So, thanks everyone for reading this and seeing the last photos of the sweetest dog a person could ever have!
Although we are extremely sad by his passing, I look back and think he was provided a wonderful life, filled with happiness and love. And he left this life with people who loved him by his side.
He'll be forever missed... my first dog that showed me what loyalty and animal companionship is all about.
Goodbye "Ino", you were a great lovable friend!

Teruu means Friend in Yupik. He has been my friend since the day i got
him. I was told about him at my first Siberian Nationals in LA in 1995. I
went to their house to pick out the siberian I wanted. He was big, had a
curly coat, long eyelashes that curled and was big. When he was little
everyone called him Boing because he boinged and bounced all over. He also
howled out of key...people hated to hold him at the line of a start of a
race. He easily stepped into alpha when my previous dog Maxx had passed
away. He ruled the same way, quietly but firm. Never growled or got in a
fight, just said his peace and if they didn't listen he would pin them and
tell more. He helped me with MANY rescues over the years. He went to work
with me every day up until the end. He had just turned 16 two days ago. He
is wearing his purple harness and is healthy and playing with Maxx, Kobee
and Kilaa who have passed before him. He was so loved and will never be
forgotten.

City: Rosedale
State: MD
Country: USA
KiKoo my Red & White boy was born in a PA Puppy Mill, he showed signs of
being injured very young, but he was a happy puppy. He began having tummy
troubles at 4 to 5 months of age and yet that only got him down once. KiKoo
was so loving and gentle, he was also very good with Children, also very
protective of children. We would have to ask our friends with young
children not to correct them or make them cry in front of KiKoo he would in
no uncertain terms let the parents know that it was NOT allowed to make a
child cry in his home or presence. He also loved to sit with my 3 year old
nephew on a rock near their patio within our sight, he and Josh walking
down to their rock was the most loving picture, and then to watch as they
sat together Josh's arm around KiKoo and KiKoo's head on Josh's lap, and
they would sit there having conversations only they understood. KiKoo
loved to run and play in the snow, he would find the highest mountain of
snow and sleep on top of it or just lay there and overlook his kingdom, he
was very majestic. He had a way of letting me know what he wanted as he
would stand there and woowoowoo and swing his head back and forth woooing
the entire time. Kooie was a very good friend, he was the only Sibe that I
could let off leash and he would not run away, never! He was great with our
little poodle, and actually let her be the boss. If the fruit bowl was left
on the table and I was in another area of the house I would come back and
find a banana peel on the floor and KiKoo laying there looking very
satisfied chewing the last bite of the banana, he was my clown.In the
spring of 1999 KiKoo started slowing down not being himself, I was told
that he was Diabetic and had to give him insulin which in his gentle nature
he took without any trouble at all. As the summer came on, KiKoo was not
doing any better, vet continue to tell me that it the diabetes and to
adjust his insulin, then in July he wasn't eating, couldn't go up the steps
without help, and was going down hill. Again, I called the vet and was told
that even though my boy was ill they vet had no time to see him, and made
an appointment for the next day, well for my baby the next day never came.
On July 28th, 1990 I went to kiss him goodnight and he was non responsive,
his gums were white as the snow he loved and cold as ice. He was rushed to
the ER vet and went into a coma on the way and never came out of, not even
long enough for me to say good bye to him. The ER vet told me that he had
bled out that she felt he had a tumor either in his spleen or pancreas that
ruptured. Still today the thought of my boy will bring tears to my eyes, I
love him and miss him dearly, Being the gentleman that he was, I know that
he was waiting there for my sweet little angle Neka to show her around and
walk with her north of the Rainbow Bridge while they wait for me to come
for them. I love you kooie, you too went much to soon. You are dearly
missed and are always in my heart. Shine Brightly, know that you are always
loved, dearly.

Kilaa Of Umunhum
- Born: 1998
Died: August 28, 2011
City: Campbell
State: CA
Country: USA
Tonight with the help of my friend Dr. Rusher, Megan and I helped Kilaa to
the rainbow bridge. We called her Kilaa. She is with Kobee and Maxx and
many others that have gone though my home. She has helped keep them all in
line.
She was born around the end of 1998. I rescued her from Santa Cruz Animal Control on March 3, 1999. She was tiny, to shy and scared for them to put in adoptions. it took them 2 days to catch her in a parking lot. When i got her we thought she looked like an angel and looked up the name in a Yupic dictionary. Angel was Ankilaaq.I tried to adopt her for over 4 months and no one was willing to work with her so i finally accepted the fact that she was my first foster failure (and only to date). No one would be as good for her as I felt I would be.
She was a great dog who finally was more secure with more people as she got older and trusted them. She was a FANTASTIC sled dog. One time with Hugo and Nic we tried to create a trail through about 4 feet of fresh snow. None of the dogs went very far and as a last ditch effort we put Kilaa in the front of my team to see what would happen....she jumped and pulled us through the rest of the trail we needed to give rides. She was beautiful and it was about the only time I could use her in lead as she preferred wheel. It was wonderful to watch her. 7 years ago she became very sick and we found she had aspergelossus (a nasty fungus of the sinus). I took her to specialist over 7 months that said it was hopeless and they hadn't been able to treat a dog successfully. A specialist vet and a human doctor asked if i was willing to experiment, we did and tried a human drug that they didn't know how she would react. After a rough start with it, she suddenly got better and in September of 2004 she was declared cured.
She has been part of my team until last year when her rear end started having trouble. In the last month she was progressively having less strength in her rear. Early this AM she couldn't get up with out help. Tonight when i got home she was still having trouble and suddenly she could only sit and tried to get up but couldn't.
When Dr Rusher came over she agreed it was time and felt something in her bladder.
It was her time. She now will run healthy again with Kobee and Maxx. I loved you Kilaa and will never forget you.

A specialist vet and a human doctor asked if i was willing to experiment, we did and tried a human drug that they didn't know how she would react. After a rough start with it, she suddenly got better and in September of 2004 she was declared cured.
She has been part of my team until last year when her rear end started having trouble. In the last month she was progressively having less strength in her rear. Early this AM she couldn't get up with out help. Tonight when i got home she was still having trouble and suddenly she could only sit and tried to get up but couldn't.
When Dr Rusher came over she agreed it was time and felt something in her bladder.
It was her time. She now will run healthy again with Kobee and Maxx. I loved you Kilaa and will never forget you.

Spunky was Siberian Husky number 2 for us and he joined the family about 5
1/2 months after Kodi. They quickly became best buddies. Spunky, too,
became an Obedience Siberian after that very same Vermont skiing incident
mentioned in Kodi's story.
Spunky was about as strong-willed and independent as a Siberian Husky could be. But he had a gentle, warm side that made him all the more loveable. And his antics provided us with many, many laughs. He was an enjoyable yet challenging dog to work with in Obedience, and success was extremely rewarding.
Spunky left us too soon, as did all of our furkids. He will always be missed. Rest in peace, my boy.

Kodi was the first Siberian Husky to come into our lives. He was actually a birthday present to me -- how special! The most wonderful present I have ever received. Originally, Kodi was just going to be a pet. But, we were talked into showing him in match shows and we had some success. Along theway he grew a little oversized. Although I was disappointed that I couldn't show him anymore, I now had the pet I had wanted. After a day of
cross country skiing in Vermont Kodi got away from us, and I decided some obedience training was needed. That was the beginning of a great Obedience career for him and it had me hooked on working with these terrific dogs. Kodi is greatly missed; but he has left us with wonderful memories.
Godspeed Kodi.

Nala was found wandering by a good Samaritan, wearing an old Norsled tag.
When I arrived to get her, she could barely walk; when I gently lifted her
into my car, she screamed. I took her to the vet next morning since we
could not locate her "owner." Vet said she had been very ill for quite a
while. Norsled spent a lot of money on x-rays and medications to help her,
and she did improve. Her owner, when located, didn't want her back, and
sure didn't want to pay for her medical care. It was clear anyway, that she
would NOT go back to neglect and abuse. I only got to spend a month with
her; I added "Littlewolf" to her name, because she looked like a little
wolf, and needed something special. She was incontinent and walked with a
wobble: a high maintenance girl, but SO worth it. If I raised my voice (I
yell at my computer at times), she would run and try to hide, so I knew bad
things had been done to her. I hoped to be able to give her a good summer;
but a month was all I got. At least she had a month of love, affection,
good food, treats and short walks. She died in my arms knowing she was
loved, and I miss her beautiful spirit so much.

City: Stewartsville
State: NJ
Country: USA
During 1991 the Garden State Siberian Husky Club was beginning its Siberian
Husky rescue efforts. In December 1991 Nikki became the first Siberian
Husky rescued by GSSHC Rescue. Her age was estimated to be about two
years. She weighed only 22 pounds, and was terribly frightened and
insecure.
She came to us from the Gloucester County, NJ shelter. Nikki was rescued from the shelter only hours before she was to be put down because she had been there 45 days, no one claimed her and the shelter had no room to keep her since additional dogs were coming in every day.
While she was not originally intended to be kept by us, circumstances dictated that we keep her. The individual who was to take Nikki decided he didn't want her about 30 minutes before he was to pick her up. There was no other choice -- she stayed with us. It was obvious that her original owners abused her and it took some time to gain her trust. Our two other Siberians, Kodi and Spunky, played a large role in Nikki's becoming
comfortable in her new surroundings. For the first time, I believe, she had humans who cared and other dogs to play with and tag along with as she explored her new home.
Right up to the end Nikki was a very healthy, though less active, girl. She spent her time patrolling the yard and playing with her buddies, Jasper and Frankie. Rest easy Nikki; we miss you and your gentle manner.

Nikki came into my life when she was about 2 1/2 yrs old. She had a
beautiful spirit and was always up for fun. She was a Husky mix, and
unlike most Huskies, she loved the water and loved to swim. She loved to
run, but I never had to worry that she would run off. She always wanted to
have me in her sight and would always come when called. She was the
perfect year round hiking partner. As she aged and her body slowed down,
her running became a trot and then just a walk. But no matter, she was
always with me. It will be very sad this winter when I put on my
snowshoes. I will only have the memories of her bounding through the snow
with her beautiful Husky smile.

I got Snowy, AKA Snowman, AKA Nieve, on Aug 21, 2009, from a family that
couldn't keep him. Snowy was a sweet, gentle, family dog. He knew that he
should not be the boss dog and harassed my anxious, uncertain Angel until
she agreed.( don't ever think being omega dog doesn't take strength) He was
a house dog, and wouldn't be outside any longer than he had to. The first
time I walked him, he kept looking back at me as to say, "this is fun, are
we done yet." In a surprisingly short time he realized that walks were long
and interesting. He loved the high snow that we had last winter and would
dive in and walk on mounds and drifts and fall in and scrabble back out
with a look of joy.
Snowy had bad hair. It was always dry and didn't shed well. I gave him good food and hoped it would get smooth like my other huskies. He was always a bit big in the body. With portion control and long walks, he muscled up, but his belly was always big.
He was always a happy dog, and when he began to slow down, I watched and waited. Kept encouraging him, but he got weaker. When I brought him in to the vet, it was too late. He had a tumor on his spleen that was bleeding into his abdomen. He died on the table.
Adios mi nieve. Te quiero.

to a shelter b/c she could no longer afford him. The shelter loved him and
called us, so he joined the crew at Willow Run under the auspices of SNO. A
change in food and a run of drugs, and his coat came back in. He was very

Timber was probably the most beautiful and sweet Siberian I've ever known,
but also very aloof. She didn't particularly like hugs & kisses, but I'd
always tell her "kisses if you like them or not, Puppy Bear!". When off
leash, she wasn't one to run away, but she did prefer to travel off the
beaten path. It seemed I was always looking for her - and she was always
right there behind some big rock of bush wondering what I was so excited
about. She was wonderful with other dogs and extremely tolerant of a young
male Husky who became part of the family in her later years. She would
gently tell him she wasn't interested in playing until he finally, after 10
minutes or so, would reluctantly give up. She was a very special Siberian
and her gentle spirit will always be missed.

Timber was a beautiful parti-eyed Siberian. He was left at the Dane County

Before I knew it, without asking my husband's opinion, I was in the car
with my son driving to Madison to get him. It was a lot of work having
three Siberians. After a while, Timber and our female no longer got along
and they had to be kept apart. Lots of baby gates and lots of supervising,
but I always felt that we did the right thing. We gave him all the love we
could in the short 1.5 years that we had him. Thank goodness we were able
to give him a home during his final years. We love you and miss you Timber.

all miss you so much, we know that you are now pain free , running and
tussling with your sissy Nakomi, (who left this world just 5 month before
you). While we are all grieving for you both, Mayatukkiesue, the last of
the pack is grieving the hardest. She still looks for you and Nakomi
everyday. Wear your Silver Harness with pride my sweetness. I know you and
Nakomi look beautiful in your Silver Harnesses. We will see you all again,
someday... We love you both!

TinkerBelle came to me wearing a child's fleece sweater, as she had no fur.
But she became very fit and healthy and ran as a scooter dog for many
years, until illness forced her retirement. But she did not stop then.
She survived many health issues, multiple surgeries, continuing to earn her
name of Tink the Tank. She was sweet, prickly, strong, loving,
independent, all girl Siberian. Bi eyed,white, black, brown and beautiful.
A lot of dog in a small package. Forever my Tink, my friend.

Tova was my Gift from God, the puppy I never thought that I would have. He
was an integral part of our pack for the nearly 12 years of his life.
After a six month fight with cancer he was sent, with much love and many
tears to the Rainbow Bridge. Run free, my boy, and tell the pack that I
miss them all. Till we meet again ....

Though your life short, you were the most remarkable Siberian I have ever
known. I miss your talking back, your thinking pose on the deck in the
morning about what your plan was for the day. I miss locking the gate so
you don't open it, I miss your look in the eyes that you loved me, I really
miss you everyday.

Let the silver harness shine. I am sure that the grin on Kemo Sabe's face
has once more spread from ear to furry ear. She used to call to Tula when
they would be playing in the back yard and Kemo would hide behind the
cherry laurel under my study window. "Woo-hoo-woo....Too-woo-la! Come find
me!" And Tula would charge her and the cherry laurel would shake with their
wrestling. "Grrrrr-rrr-rrrr. I am TULA. Hear me roar!!!" Roar once more,
little Tulie. Run with Kemo Sabe. Grab her tail and chase her through the
northern skies, silver harnesses glinting.
We still love you, little girl. We always will. You changed our lives forever. Our hearts are heavy but we know we did all we could.

More than anything Cody was my Best Friend! From the day I brought him home
Cody was my shadow, he would follow me around and when I would sit and
watch TV or work on the computer Cody would be lying quietly near my feet.
I keep thinking I will look over and see him relaxing near me. The memories
I will treasure are simple ones, quiet walks, Cody showing me where the
biscuits are on top of the refrigerator and his persistence until I gave
him one, his silly play bows and zooms after I would brush him. Cody led me
to the runners of a sled; he loved to run in harness and was a great lead
dog. I’ll never forget running Holly & Cody on the trails across the street
and having a beautiful Red Tail Hawk swoop down and fly over us as if to
say hello. While I got Cody to show in Conformation as well as Obedience &
Agility I never dreamed he would finish his Championship with a 5 point
major at the Minnesota Specialty! He did everything I asked and really
excelled in the agility ring. Cody earned his UKC Agility Champion Title
with 10 perfect runs. In 2000 he won the SHCGC Top Agility Dog Award, SHCA
Novice Agility Award and was rated the #1 Siberian in Novice Standard
Agility. In 2001 he won the SHCA Open Standard Award and FFX Agility
Platinum Award and was rated the #1 Siberian in Open Standard Agility. In
2002 he won the SHCA Open Jumper Award and the Excellent Standard Award.
One of our proudest memories will be when Cody was one of the first
Performance Dogs invited to the Top Twenty. It meant so much to me when
everyone clapped when we came in at the end of the Top Twenty and they
announced his name & titles. There were trips to SHCA Nationals, Agility
Trials and Regional Specialties; so many miles; so many memories. A special
memory will be walking along Cannon Beach in Oregon. He had so much fun in
the Ocean water! You never think about the day they will have to leave you
when you bring that young puppy home, the only thing you think about is the
future and all of the fun you will have. As the years go by and you settle
into a special relationship you know it won’t last forever but there are so
many memories to make and that day seems so far away. The day comes when
your dear companion begins to slow down, the days of showing are past but
some of the best days are still ahead. After Cody retired from showing he
would come with me to class and get nice long walks. I would often take him
to the trails he once took me down on the sled and go for a walk – he liked
that. These last few years he enjoyed just being with me and I loved having
him hang out with me. It is inevitable that the day comes to say goodbye
and for Cody & I that day came 74 days shy of his 15th birthday. He really
was doing well until Saturday when he stopped eating. He was no better
Sunday and only wanted to lie in his crate. He grew weaker and I knew the
day had come to say goodbye. He had a good, long life and has left me with
so many great memories. My love had to stand a final test and I let him go.
One day we will be together again. Until then run free Cody – play with
Holly and all the others on the other side of the bridge. Take your place
on the Silver Harness team. You have taken a piece of my heart with you but
when you came into my life you gave me an even larger piece of your heart.
Godspeed Dear Cody.

Willy was my heart and soul. I don't know if we had a special connection
because we shared the same birth date but he was more like my soulmate than
a dog. Willy was the picture of health until we woke up 2 weeks ago and
found Willy had died. He was a little quiet the night before but other
than that the picture of health. He brought our family more joy than I can
imagine living without. He would give the best kisses and hugs. I can't
imagine my life without him. I can't wait to see you again Willy boy I will
Love You forever, be happy.

Dancer was my beautiful white and black Siberian husky. He was given to me
by my husband that died due to a car accident we were in together in 2000.
The void is now closed. Dancer will meet mike and they will be together
again. The only thing missing is me.
The hole in my heart will never go away. Dancer slept with me while I recovered from my injuries. He will truly be missed. North of the Rainbow Bridge I will find you my beautiful boy, mommy loves you.

Zeke was a FANTASTIC companion for over 11 years. I rescued him from BASH
when he was about 3 years old. I can't say anything wrong about him. He
was just GREAT. The first couple of years he tested my patients....but not
for long. He will be missed dearly.

He was a beautiful soul. He was gentle and rambunctious at the same time.
He was my best friend.
