Siri Girl

Last time I posted we had our little piglet Charlie. We sure havent had the best luck with animals...but we are hoping that has changed :) We decided that we wanted to have a big dog the kids could play with and that would protect if needed!! So after much research John decided on a german shepherd. We found a breeder about an hour away that had one pup left and we decided we would get him. Sarge was 9 weeks old when we got him and he was an awesome puppy..he was very gentle with the kids and picked up on potty training right away. His only fault was that he played a little to rough with Charlie. We tried keeping them seperated but we felt like it was unfair for Charlie because we werent spending as much time with her. We ended up giving her to a family with a nice big farm for her to play on. We thought we had finally found the perfect dog, but of course it was to good to be true! Sarge had stomach issues since we had first gotten him and had been in and out of the vet a bunch!! After a couple months and tons of tests they found out he had some congenital issues and had to be put to sleep. We were all devestated and knew we wanted another dog right away to replace him!! So John found us Siri..she is a 5 1/2 month old siberian husky. We have had her about a month now and she is great. John has always talked about owning a husky since we were dating..but I wasnt in love with the breed like he was. When he showed me the pictures of Siri I agreed and am so glad I did. She is a great dog and is in perfect health. She has a LOT more energy than our german shepherd pup had (probably because he was sick) but she is a great fit for our family. She loves the kids and is always up for going on a walk or jog with me which is fun!! She is already housebroken so that is very nice and she is doing good with her crate training. She was never introduced to a crate before we got her but she is quickly adjusting to the crate and is whining less and less every time she goes in there. I think we have finally found a winner :)
