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
So does that mean you're coming to the Hike Phred? Or were you simply being critical?
:p ;) :D
Simply being correct.Quote:

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.
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!!!!
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
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.

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.Quote:

You know I luv ya babe! :D
I'm very interested! I'll let you know when it's a for sure thing:)
:( 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!
Does anyone want to join Sierra and I at the Hike this year??
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
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.
Do we have to signed up ahead of time, or can we be a game time decision?
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!Quote:

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!
Looks like it's going to be a beautiful day for the Hike! :D
Sunny with a high of 83!
I forgot that was this weekend. We won't be able to make it :(
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
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!
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!
Hope you guys had a good time! I can't wait to see pictures! :)
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 :)
taps fingers waiting on pics
glad you all had a great time.
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!
I'm jealous! I wish I could have been there with Nebo and Keva. Looking forward to the pics! :D
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
THANKS!Quote:

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.

Guess that will teach you to double check what you’re bidding on in the silent auction next time Anna!!
I had SO much fun girls!
Same place, same time next year!!
Here's the link to my album:

Angie, this coloring is called "parti eyed" Gorgeous dog!Quote:

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/v4...ke/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/v4.../HHmeetpup.jpg
http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v4...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/v4...Hike/HHsit.jpg
http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v4...it-w-JoJoe.jpg
...more in next post-
It was very pretty there:
http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v4...HHnicerock.jpg
We turned to go home & saw 7 dogs approaching- all off-leash! (obviously they weren't huskies)
http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v4...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/v4...pedpupstar.jpg
So that was our Rhode Island version of the Husky Hike!
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!!
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
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:)
