Anyone interested in goin to the Husky Hike this year?
October 6th, 2007 at Strongsville, Ohio.

Here's the website for registration:
http://www.adoptahusky.com/hikemain_oh.htm

Hey Miz Angie ...

Maybe "edit" your Title ... date is October 6th. :p



Where:
Royalview Picnic Area

Cleveland Metro Parks
Strongsville OH




When: Saturday October 6, 2007 (rain or shine, please dress appropriately!)
Check-In begins at 9:30am

Why: To raise money for abused, abandoned, or injured Siberian Huskies, so that they may be properly cared for and placed in good homes

How: Please join the volunteers and “family of adopters” by participating in a three-mile hike with your Siberian Husky OR we can provide you with a foster dog to walk

[pitc9]

So does that mean you're coming to the Hike Phred? Or were you simply being critical?

:p ;) :D

[Cinder & Smoke]

Or were you simply being critical?

Simply being correct.

[pitc9]

Ohhh right... right. Correct NOT critical! ;)

[zippy-kat]

I don't know if there's an inside joke here or not -and I didn't see the original post- but the correct date is pretty important info. Mistakes/typos happen, I totally understand that. I guess what I'm really getting at is I sure hope Phred has thicker skin than I do as the critical comments would've really hurt my feelings.

If it's an inside joke (which it might be considering all the smilies), I'm sincerely sorry for butting in.

[RobiLee]

I'll think about it. How far away is it from me? I tried to look up directions but I'm not getting anywhere. Oh, Phred, help with directions please!!!!

[Cinder & Smoke]

How to Find the Husky Hike?

Here's a special MapQuest link the generates driving instructions to
the Hike from any location you type in as your Starting Location. >>>

MapQuest Directions To: Husky Hike @ Royalview Picnic Area (http://www.mapquest.com/directions/main.adp?2a=Valley Pkwy and Royalview Ln&2c=Strongsville&2s=OH&2z=44316&2y=US&cid=lfddlink)

Click on the link then **WAIT** for the entire page to load;
Tab or mouse to the "STARTING Location" fields and type in your starting location. The "Destination" is already filled in for you. Hit "Get Directions".

You may be prompted to verify the Destination -
Click on "their" version, and "get directions".

The closest MapQuest can do is the Intersection of Valley Parkway and Royalview Lane ...
Where the picnic area driveway turns off into the woods.
Don't worry about the "locked gate" - it'll be open all day.
Turn (south) onto Royalview Lane and follow it to the end - a little over a mile -
and you wind up at the Royalview Picnic Area in the "Mill Stream Run Reservation"
of the Cleveland MetroParks System, in Strongsville, Ohio.

There should be a Husky or two or three runnin around.

[Cinder & Smoke]

How far away is it from me?

A MapQuest Route has been e-mailed to you, Robin.

How Far??

Chillicothe to Strongsville is 169 miles;
2 hours and 52 minutes drive time.

[crow_noir]

Interested? YES!!!

Doable? nope. :(

I was even thinking that maybe if Koli's not adopted by then that the other foster would be interested in taking her since he's farther south than i am... Then i looked it up on the map... I think that would still be too far of a drive for him.

I will pass on the link though.

I had the wrong date in the title when I first posted it then Phred let me know about it so I changed it. I'm quite certain Phred knows I wasn't being serious.
Phred, I'm sorry if my smart a$$ comments hurt your feelings.
You know I luv ya babe! :D

[anna_66]

I'm very interested! I'll let you know when it's a for sure thing:)

[cyber-sibes]

:( Woooooooo-oooooooooo
Can you hear the howls of lament coming from the far east? We are REALLY gonna miss you guys!!!!! Hope you get a good PT turnout. It's always a great time and full of "photo-opportunities", all for a good cause. Angie, are you bringing honorary-husky Princess Sierrra again? She did great last year!

[pitc9]

Does anyone want to join Sierra and I at the Hike this year??

[cassiesmom]

Angie or Phred, the first couple posts say this is a fund raiser -- could you post more about that? Do you need people to contribute per mile you hike, or how does it work? Could you take photos again this year? I think that would be a nice thing to contribute to in honor of Sherman and Bowser.

Thanks
Elyse

[pitc9]

Elyse, As a walker, you collect money for the the rescue group Adopt a Husky. We don't collect donations per mile or anything like that just straight flat out donations.
It doesn't look like anyone from here will be joining me, but Sierra and I will still go in honnor of Sherman and Bowser and I'll take plenty of pictures.

[Cincy'sMom]

Do we have to signed up ahead of time, or can we be a game time decision?

[anna_66]

It doesn't look like anyone from here will be joining me, but Sierra and I will still go in honnor of Sherman and Bowser and I'll take plenty of pictures.
We will! Robin, Tori, Roxey and I will be joining you as well as my friend Jennifer and her huskies:D And of course we will be taking many pictures!

Do we have to signed up ahead of time, or can we be a game time decision?
Amy, many people sign up when they get there so you don't need to do it now. Hope you can make it!

[pitc9]

We will! Robin, Tori, Roxey and I will be joining you as well as my friend Jennifer and her huskies:D And of course we will be taking many pictures!

YIPPEE!! Sierra and I will see you there! :D

Amy... Game time decision... LOL!! How funny!
I didn't pre-register last year, I just brought my donations and signed up when I got there. They would like people to pre register because they serve lunch and hand out good bags and stuff so I'm sure they just want to have an idea of how many people will be there.
Hope you and a few puppers can make it!

[pitc9]

Looks like it's going to be a beautiful day for the Hike! :D

Sunny with a high of 83!

[Cincy'sMom]

I forgot that was this weekend. We won't be able to make it :(

[cyber-sibes]

Wow, sounds like it will be beautiful! Star & Jack & I will be hiking in RI Saturday morning in honor of Sherman & Bowser. I'm sending our donation in to Adopt a Husky.

Wish I'd thought about it more before I left for FL.-- I guess we could have registered online, but didn't get it done. Just want you all to know we'll be with you "in spirit" at the hike! Maybe we'll post a few pictures of our "remote hike" here on this thread too, if you don't mind.

Have a great time, a-woooo-wooooo!
(((((Hugs))))) to you all, the huskies & Sierra, too! ;) ~ from the cybersibes

[pitc9]

Holy Hot Flash!!
Tomorrow's high has now been bumped up to 88!!! :eek:

Uh... that's a little hot for a bunch of Huskies and the Princess! :rolleyes:

I better pack a little cooler with water and ice!

Pat, I'll be thinking of you when we're on our Hike.
Please post pictures of your Hike in this thread, I'd love to see them!

[pitc9]

WHEW was it HOT!!! :eek:

Anna & Robin, it was so nice to see you girls again!!
Tori and Grama Roxy too! ;)

Anna, how are you enjoying you box of T-shirts?? LOL!! :D

I'll post pictures tomorrow!

[k9krazee]

Hope you guys had a good time! I can't wait to see pictures! :)

[cyber-sibes]

Well, we're all waiting on pictures now! Angie said it was like 87 degrees!! Must have been a whole lotta hot dogs there! Hope everyone had a grand time, thought about you all day :)

[shais_mom]

taps fingers waiting on pics
glad you all had a great time.

[RobiLee]

Hi All!

I'm home after spending the weekend with Anna and finally got my car unpacked and sitting down to relax a bit before I go to bed.

I had a great time at the Husky Hike! I absolutely loved it and was in complete awe of being around so many huskies. Like Angie said it sure was hot. I'm not one that likes hot days but I have to say that I didn't mind at all. Being around so many gorgeous dogs kind of takes your mind off of that.

Angie, it was great to see you and Sierra. Now you have to tell the story about Anna and the box of Tshirts...lol. Also, Anna and I had such a good time talking and laughing on the way home that we forgot that we were supposed to get off at any exits and just kept driving and driving...lol.

Roxey, Sierra and Tori were great husky hikers and good girls. I think they had a good time also.

Pat and Phred, we thought about you both and missed you.

I took plenty of pics and I'll try to go through them tomorrow and get them uploaded and posted. So be ready for lots of Husky pics!

[wolf_Q]

I'm jealous! I wish I could have been there with Nebo and Keva. Looking forward to the pics! :D

[anna_66]

Oh yes! We had a FABULOUS time Saturday:D
I'm always in awe of all the gorgeous dogs that are there (hukies and non-huskies alike!)

I haven't uploaded any of my pictures yet either (Robin and I were having too much fun...lol!) but soon...I promise!

Angie, it was really nice to see you and your pretty girl Sierra again too.
And yes...I just LOVE my box of shirts:D

[Cinder & Smoke]

Pat and Phred, we thought about you both and missed you.

THANKS!
We thought about all of you guys, too. :(
Wouldda been a lil *tuff* being there without my wanna-be Husky tagging along ~
but hopefully he was there trotting along with his Big Buddies on the Hike.

We all "did our thing" at the Fire Station on Saturday ...
County Health Dept decided we'd get the Fall Rabies Clinic
(we usually do it in the Spring.) :rolleyes:

October 6th was the only day Doc Lisa (our "FREE" Vet) had an open Saturday.
OK - we'll be there. :(
Set-up at 10:30 - rolled the Fiur Trucks OUT and set up tables, chairs, and the pooper-skooper.
Between 11:00 and 1:00 PM the folks that don't read flyers well arrived;
we served Bisquits to keep the complaints down.

Doc pulled in about 1:15 PM or so - almost On-Time at 15 minutes late! :p
We had a LINE from 12:00 till 3:30!
Health Dept Girls fillin out the Forms and accepting the $2.00 payments;
I unwrapped the Jabbers and tightened the needle; Dog Warden's Secretary "Loaded" 'em,
and poor Doc Lisa stuck 160+ Critters in a little over 3 hours!
She did a lotta "Road Trips" - following an owner out to a car/truck in the parking lot
to take care of the "Anti-Social" creatures.
She came back in once <shakin> her head as she dumped 10 syringes into the sharps container -
"TEN of 'em - two cars worth - and NONE of 'em were very happy!"

Parting *Shots* ??
Yup, the Host Doggies both got their Boosters as the last two customers.

I think we'd have ALL rather been at the Husky Hike!

:D

Shortly after taking the above picture a leaf fell, and landed ON me.
It was a red leaf... I think it was a certain red Husky making sure we knew he and Bowser were there with us.

I had SO much fun girls!
Same place, same time next year!!

They don't all say the same thing... but that was the best one of the bunch!! :D

[cyber-sibes]

Wonderful pictures everyone, we sure missed you guys! I notice that the ribbons on the medallions this year are rainbow - and sure seems like "Someone" arranged that in honor of our Sherman and Bowser going to the Rainbow Bridge - now how perfect is that? :D Just look at the light streaming down on the huskies in Angie's pic of the start of the hike- I bet they were right there with you!

Beautiful Bi-eyed white husky
edit: Actually... now that I look at the picture again, it looks like the pups eyes are both multi-colored! Wow! Angie, this coloring is called "parti eyed" Gorgeous dog!
And yes, Angie, I think Sherman must have been tagging along with his beloved Sierra. ;)

Our Husky Hike turned out a bit on the gray side - sorry the pictures look so dark- it was kind of foggy & overcast while we walked for over an hour...it got sunny once we headed home. :rolleyes:
We started off at the beach:
http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v432/cyber-sibes/RI%20Husky%20Hike/HHBeach.jpg
Met this cute little girl on our way- her name is Mandy, she's 3 mos. old & loved the water!

http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v432/cyber-sibes/RI%20Husky%20Hike/HHMandypup.jpg
From the beach, we went & walked at the resevoir - this appears to be where most of the dogs get walked - we met tons of them! http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v432/cyber-sibes/RI%20Husky%20Hike/HHsit.jpg
http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v432/cyber-sibes/RI%20Husky%20Hike/HHsit-w-JoJoe.jpg

[cyber-sibes]

It was very pretty there:
http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v432/cyber-sibes/RI%20Husky%20Hike/HHnicerock.jpg
We turned to go home & saw 7 dogs approaching- all off-leash! (obviously they weren't huskies)
http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v432/cyber-sibes/RI%20Husky%20Hike/HHturnhome.jpg
Then these 7 dogs went for a dip-

Star was one pooped pup when we got home!
(Jack was outside still running around the yard)
http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v432/cyber-sibes/RI%20Husky%20Hike/HHpopedpupstar.jpg
So that was our Rhode Island version of the Husky Hike!

[pitc9]

Great pictures Pat! I love the last one, Star looks like she had fun!

It's great to see Star and Jack together! I'm so happy he worked his fuzzy way into Star's heart!!

That looks like a great place to walk the pups!!
You're right, it's beautiful!!

[anna_66]

Yes, finally I have my pictures uploaded and am able to share them!

Angie your pictures were great and yours were too Pat. I hope one day to meet Jack, he's gorgeous!

We really thought about Sherman & Bowser while we were on our walk Saturday and missed having everyone there, it just wasn't the same.

Like Angie said, it was so HOT! We had some tired dogs that's for sure (Roxey was REALLY tired :o )

If I didn't already have 3 dogs I would have taken that beautiful parti eyed girl home with me, she was a real lover and up for adoption.

Unwilling as I am to use Shutterfly (I hate that IS is closing:() all my pictures are there, so...Enjoy!
Husky Hike 2007 (share.shutterfly.com/action/welcome?sid=0QZt2LRoycMXHQ)

P.S.
I wanted to add this picture that Robin took with her camera. I know it was just the way the light was, but it was the start of the walk and there's these two white lights that are coming down....looks like it was Sherman & Bowser going on that walk after all:)

[cyber-sibes]

http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v432/cyber-sibes/RI%20Husky%20Hike/huskyhike.jpg
Wow, that's an awesome picture! (Gave me teary eyes) You guys seem to "capture" spirits on your cameras when you get together (thinking of the ones you posted from Robin's visit a while back).

Anna, I can't access your photos, the link takes me to a blank sign-in page :confused: .

[shais_mom]

that is an AWESOME photo! :D

[shais_mom]

yup Anna - that took me to a sign in page and when I signed in it sent me to my alblums.. :confused:

[anna_66]

Ok, I "think" I've got the link fixed...let's see...does this work?
share.shutterfly.com/action/welcome?sid=0QZt2LRoycMXHQ

[cyber-sibes]

Thanks Anna, that link works! Wow, you got so many good shots I almost feel like I was there too! Sierra, Tori, Roxey, Nikki, Cayenne and Jake all look wonderful. (I told Star all about her friends' adventures at the Husky Hike. Soooo many gorgeous dogs there! Hey, in that one shot of the walk, is that a 3-legged husky hiking?

[shais_mom]

great pics! :D
sooo did the honorary husky stay home? Huney?
and you keep referring to Grandma Roxey is that b/c she got grumpy?!
with as hot as it was that day I don't blame her! ;)

[anna_66]

I'm glad you could see the pictures and enjoyed them:)

Yep Pat, that's a 3 legger! You'd never know though!
It is surprising what pictures we get!

Yes, Huney stayed home. Someone had to keep Bon company, but I'm not sure just how much company she was. Mark said she cried around all day :( Poor girl.
And they all called Roxey grandma because she was absolutely wore out after the walk, but then again she's like that every year:p I think it was last year she laid down while we were waiting in the grub line...lol!

And I finally got a picture of my great auction buy :rolleyes: :D I really need to pay attention to what I'm bidding on!
Hey, at least the money went to a good cause!
Unfortunately most of the shirts are small and Mark can't wear them. If you know anyone who would like a small 28 weeks later or The Bourne Ultimatum shirt let me know...lol!

[Cinder & Smoke]

And I finally got a picture of my great auction buy :rolleyes: :D
I really need to pay attention to what I'm bidding on!

Well, the FurKids have their Winter Wardrobes and Halloween Costumes
all taken care of now!
:p

[pitc9]

Anna, I'm still laughing about the T-shirts!!
:D

Great group shot of us!
Can't wait to see you girls again!

[RobiLee]

All the pictures are great. I'm uploading mine right now so hopefully I'll get them on here tonite.

Pat, absolutely loved seeing your two pups. Looks like a great hike.

Nice pics everyone! :D

[RobiLee]

I really enjoyed the Husky Hike and hope to go again next year. Here are a ton of pictures:

I really liked this husky with the folded over ears.
http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v154/Robilee/Husky%20Hike/IMG_0246.jpg

Wouldn't you just love to take these beautiful pups home?
http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v154/Robilee/Husky%20Hike/IMG_0241.jpg
http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v154/Robilee/Husky%20Hike/IMG_0240.jpg

I was thrilled to see a couple of Akitas. The big guy did well with everyone. The little female didn't like other doggies to well. Hmmm, who does that sound like...lol. The female (Sugar) is a rescue that was chained all the time and her owner said that the other owners wanted her to be aggressive :(
http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v154/Robilee/Husky%20Hike/IMG_0225.jpg

This guys head was huge and he looked so big. I was surprised to hear that the two of them each weighed somewhere between 75-85 pounds. Katie weighs in at 91 pounds. I thought they both were pretty, but I have to say that I think my Katie Girl sure does beat them in the looks department..lol :p ;) :D
http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v154/Robilee/Husky%20Hike/IMG_0226.jpg
She was very people friendly and the muzzle didn't seem to bother her at all.
http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v154/Robilee/Husky%20Hike/IMG_0228.jpg

[RobiLee]

Better be careful little husky. Her daddy said she would still give it a try even with the muzzle on.

My girl was so tired from the hike that I was actually able to let loose of her leash and have her pose with Roxey. This is rare for Tori. Not the best pictures but I really like them.

You can't really tell by the pic but the second dog there is the three legged dog that Pat had noticed and he was a rescue and the honary dog that got to start off the hike.

One happy husky. I'm pretty certain this is Nikki. Jennifer's pup(Anna's friend). Just love her!

You can always find Anna with a pack of dogs.

Pretty!

Absolutely loved this big Malamute guy. He seemed so gentle, calm and laid back. I think Anna said he is there every year. Loved him and had to always take a peek at him.

This husky found a nice shaded area.

And last but certainly not least our very own Miss Huney. I only got the one pic and I actually think Anna took it. Huney has a way of making herself invisible when the three bigger dogs are getting rowdy. Just look at her gorgeous coat!! So pretty.

Everyone's photos are great! I'm jealous, I wish I could have been there. I would have been in heaven with all of those beautiful huskies. :D Pat I loved the pics of Star and Jack's hike that day too. :) Actually I went on a hike that day as well, I'm sure I'll end up posting the pics eventually. I want that white husky with the cool eyes, somebody should go adopt him for me. :p Oh and you can send me Roxey and Tori while you're at it...I figure since I already have a husky of each color, as long as they are not all in the same room at the same time my parents will never notice. ;)

[shais_mom]

great pics Robin! :)
you certainly seem to be getting the hang of your new S5! :D

Amy, you might have to fight Anna for that white husky. She is Jennifer's latest foster and Anna has really taken a liking to her ;). I don't think Mark will have any part of it though...lol

...I figure since I already have a husky of each color, as long as they are not all in the same room at the same time my parents will never notice. ;)Hey, it's worth a try! LOL! Robin, what a great batch of pictures! Loved looking through the whole album. (and I agree about the akitas, your Katie is a gorgeous girl!)

I'm so glad you all went, seeing you & "our" PT pups together puts a big smile on my face! Jennifer's latest adoptee is such a doll!!!! But it looks like Jake may have staked a claim on her already, ladies. ;) Maybe Jennifer will have to add one more to her pack?

Glad you enjoyed our little hike, too. Made me feel a little bit connected, as I really wish we could have been there with you. We loved seeing all the huskies at the hikes we went to. You never know, maybe next year? I'd love for you all to meet Mr. Jack, I think you'd like him. He's a good boy.

Looking forward to seeing pictures of your hike, Amy - you hike in such beautiful places. And of course, I love seeing pictures of Nebo & Keva - I have a whole folder of them in my "PT Dogs" folder on my computer!

P.S. If I had been there, I would have taken this little guy home with me!

Oh Pat, I KNOW I'd love Jack:D Next year it would be WONDERFUL to see you all! I'll keep my fingers crossed

Robin I'm glad you finally got some time to post your pictures. You know I think they turned out great!

I don't remember this picture Robin...I LOVE it !

Amy you'd love that little girl! She's such a doll.

[pitc9]

LOL!!
Robin, it looks like I was trying to butt into their conversation!!
:D

Pat, I hope we all get a chance to meet Jack one day!

Yep, there's your girl Anna. You better go get her. I have a feeling she won't be a foster for long. Hmmm, maybe I should make her my 3rd dog ;)

Pat, I knew you would like that little one. So freakin' cute and a lot like Sherman's coloring. Just adorable!

I kept wondering if you put all the blacks in one group and the reds in another if Anna and I would be able to spot our own huskies. I know we could if we were up close, but to just stand a bit outside of the circle and just look if we could point out which one was ours. There were just so many of them and some were so different and some looked so much alike. All were gorgeous! I have to say that this event really kicked in my love of huskies.

I'm at work looking at the pics again and I'm so sorry that they are so large. I didn't realize it on my computer. I'll have to make sure I make them smaller next time.

All those Husky Pictures (applause) ~ :o ~ as well as all those Pet Talk People too!!!

Yes, I clicked onto this thread and I enjoyed every bit of it!!!

Thank-You for sharing the moments you guys!!!!! ;)

[lute]

Those are all such great pictures! That Woolie Sibe is beautiful! Gracie would have loved to go to that! Looks like Sibe heaven!!!

[CountryWolf07]

Will there be another Husky Hike in Strongsville, OH.. because I am literally 20-25 minutes away when I am at home.

I can't believe I missed this out! Agh! Anna & I could've made it..

[pitc9]

Yep!!
They have it the first Saturday in October every year at the same place.
