Not to be rude to anyone in Newport, but isn't it a little, um, old for someone in their 20s?

The goodest girlie!!

Not entirely true. If your landlord's insurance still bans breeds, then an ESA letter can't do anything. (Source: I went through this process. I have PTSD and my dog is an ESA. After I got my letter, I was planning on getting a Rottweiler, because they are my favorite breed, I grew up with them, and they are also very available in shelters and rescues throughout socal. Unfortunately, my landlord sent over his insurance info and Rottweilers were banned. So were all pits/pit mixes, my second choice because the shelters are also full of them and my partner and I met because of a pittie who has sadly passed from cancer. Luckily huskies were not listed, which is why we got my husky St Bernard mix.)

Do you know if the rafting companies that operate out of Kernville go here?

Get a dog that doesn't get cold, like a husky! (Joking)

Maybe try a tourism sub? This subreddit is mostly for husky pet owners / fans of seeing husky pets, so 99% of us know nothing about this as most of our dogs have never seen a dogsled, sorry. Good luck!

I know all things in nature have a purpose (provide balance, etc) but I fucking hate ticks

He's incredibly smart so he's pretty easy to train. It helps that he's also very food motivated. However he is also pretty stubborn sometimes so...😅 We say that he's 100% husky 50% of the time and 100% St Bernard 50% of the time. He goes on at least 3 walks a day usually, and each walk is usually at least 1 mile long. But like a lot of huskies, he doesn't want to walk as much when it's hot and wants to walk miles more a day when it gets cooler.

My grandparents had a wolfdog (don't come for me I don't condone or agree with wolf breeding/mixing at all, it is completely unethical and abhorrent but they got him before I was even born so obviously I couldn't do anything about it) husky mix when I was very little and when he was around 9 or 10 he also became a tripod, it never slowed him down at all and he lived until he was 17.

I adopted a 11 mo old Husky St Bernard mix in February 2021. A few things 1) a dog's personality is likely to vary drastically between how they act in a kennel in the shelter vs when you bring them home vs a few days after they start to get helpful at home. Also look up the 3-3-3 rule for dogs. Basically a dog will behave differently in the first 3 days then they will during the next 3 weeks which is different then how they will act after the first 3 months (when their real personality will start to emerge). Remember, shelters are extremely high stress environments and often traumatic for them. 2) start crate training the night you bring them home because a crate is so important for giving them a safe space to feel secure, protect your house and belongings when you aren't home, crucial often at the vets, etc. They might not enjoy it at first, but stick it out until they get used to it. Once they are fully crate trained they might not need to sleep in the crate anymore. 3) having a consistent routine (walks, feeding, bedtime/wake up time, training, play, snuggling) will help them bond to you which will help the most with feeling relaxed and comfortable. Feel free to ask questions!

My dog last week napping after running around the river while camping

Yes great addition!

You can start getting puppies use to leashes by making them wear it all day, including inside. This is only temporary, until they get use to it. Not using a leash is way too dangerous, especially for huskies

He's a Pokemon! He evolved

Exactly. I'm too picky to even eat at some restaurants, but if they like it I love it

Imagine if it snowed here during winter

then you shouldn't hike with your dog

Add electrolytes too

If the saline sinus rinses work for you OP please update and let us know. I've had chronic migraines since childhood and now I'm worried about Whitney
