[QUOTE="Shari, post: 181970, member: 1848"] I loved my husky, but much like a difficult child, sometimes you had to approach things differently with him. Wish I could post a picture from here, he was GORGEOUS and had a spirit like no other. I put him to sleep when he was 13 years old. He had congestive heart failure and an abcessed tooth got the better of him. The vet didn't feel he'd survive the surgery to remove the tooth. At 13, tho, it was just time. He was a shelter dog, too. The best of both worlds. Was difficult child 1's best friend and gaurdian, and so incredibally smart. Which made him incredibally hard to train, but he and our lab that died last year vie for position of top dog in my heart. They were both incredible dogs. If I could clone a dog, it woud be one of those two. I plan to have another, but I don't think I have the patience while I still have a young difficult child... There was one at the shelter during my last trip. Mine had beautiful ice blue eyes and was black white and gray. This one was white with just hints of yellow and piercing yellow eyes. His head was large and his nose was very long - he looked very primitive, and nothing, and I mean NOTHING, in that shelter was either missed OR outwardly reacted to. He sat there, stoicly, taking it all in. He has been adopted (I went back and looked) and I bet he is a very interesting dog. [/QUOTE]
