[QUOTE="Elsi, post: 741846, member: 23349"] SWOT that brings tears to my eyes. What a wonderful story. You are a special person to take on a dog with these kinds of medical issues. I’m so glad he’s doing better! Our husky, Lady D, wasn’t born with spinal problems, but had a back injury at 8 when someone’s small child tried to jump on her and ride her. The first surgeon told us to put her down but we found a young surgeon willing to take a chance on her. She turns 16 on Christmas and loves life! She needs diapers inside and wheels for extended walking now but I can’t imagine giving up on her when she was still young. She is so smart! Huskies need tons of stimulation and attention - high energy and high intelligence. She’s very entertaining. Huskies are very expressive - not a lot of barks but a lot of talking. They yodel and howl and try to imitate speech. Lady D talks all the time and uses ‘words’ you can understand if you know her - she sounds like Scooby-Doo! She says R’s name, water, I love you, good morning, I don’t know, and where were you! We have whole conversations. :biggrin: Copa, I probably wouldn’t recommend a husky for you unless you can handle a hairy Houdini with attitude. But they are fun when properly trained! I also hate people letting their dogs off leash. Lady D feels very vulnerable in her wheels and freaks out when other dogs come at her. I truly believe we get much more from our pets than we give. They heal the soul. Perhaps because they are always so perfectly in the moment and entirely themselves, and they teach us to be, too. [/QUOTE]
