We're back with Jack

still keeping my fingers crossed that it will work out - but at her age - are you sure she wants this? Did you get Nancy's input?
I just wonder if she'd rather be the only princess with no other court jesters to take away her affection?? Kind of Like Keegan (

Huskies really do better with more than one dog. She's an alpha without a pack at the moment. Having us humans around is ok, but not the same. Plus, when we're out of the house, she won't be alone. 10 is not that old for a husky, her health is good. And I did speak to Nancy about Jack as a possible companion for Star.

Alpha without a pack, that's kinda sad.

Jack is a beautiful boy, but if
Star doesn't warm up to him , then she doesn't. Jack might be a little too
young & hyper for her. Maybe if he was a few years older & a little more
mellow it would suit Star better. All the best of luck finding just the right
one.

Wishing you luck Pat!

Please pass out Husky hugs from me to Star and Jack! (you and JoJo too!

Woooo, Star ... Elyse here and I am having a thought ... you are the alpha and you're a girl ... so that gives you two reasons to be in charge

Jack is sort of a kid, plus he's a boy and you know how they can be sometimes. I hope your weekend will be peaceful, as your hu-mom already wrote. So here are some BIG HUGS [[[hugs]]] I am sending for you and Jack.

Kia is 9 and Chipper is 2. Kia tolerates Chipper but they haven't bonded at a level that I've seen other pairs of dogs at. Mostly Kia ignores Chipper, sleeps a lot, and keeps to herself. There are boughts of play here and there though but it's mostly just chasing and wrestling. No tug of war with toys or anything like that.

I know I've said that I got Chips as a companion for Kia, but honestly, we got Chips because we fell in love with him. Kia probably would of been just as happy as a solo dog.

All things considered, I hope things work out with you and Jack.

Aw, thanks, Kim. Star is till pretty much avoiding him. If I wanted a dog for myself, he's be perfect - he has a great personality, and follows me everywhere. He's funny. Woke me up by jumping up & hugging my head & sticking his nose in my face to give me a couple kisses.
