Hi ~ I usually post on the cat board, but I have 2 Siberians and Shasta (turned 13 on Valentine's Day!) was licking Sadie's (age 12) ears and it seems due to an ear infection. So . . . if you notice your dogs engaging in this behavior, you might want to consult your vet.

Regarding the mention of wolves, and being as Huskies are very close to them, our vet who specializes in canine behavior stated that Shasta could be set free and would probably fend for herself quite nicely. She gulps down birds that she catches and is extremely bright and always on the alert. She is not a people dog. Sadie, on the other hand, is sweet and goofy and would NEVER survive on her own in the wild. Interesting!
