I LOVE ALL OF THEIR NAMES!!!!!!!!!! Your dogs are gorgeous and look healthy and happy! God Bless you for taking them all in!

Paxil, prayers are being sent for you, don't give up, you can make it!

How do you and your husband make it with this many dogs?

Your dogs are all beautiful. The small tributes to each made it even nicer. I got teary eyed reading about Hoodoo.

Omg, what a beautiful, amazing post! You and your husband are angles for giving all those dogs such wonderful lives. Thank you so much for posting that.

WOW, All of your darlings are adorable. I especially like Raven.
I admire you for being able to care for all those sweet faces.
You are a great person.

Thank you so much for starting this thread Gina and Glacier for gladly accepting and telling us such wonderful stories about all of your furkids. You sure have a busy life. I admire you for taking them all in and caring for them all so deeply. I just don't have the words to express how great I think you and your husband are for doing such great work with all the furkids.

I love reading all of their stories. I'm going to have to use this as a reference each time you post to see if I can tell whos who on my own. The older dogs just melt my heart. I love that picture of Chase. He reminds me of my neighbor's silver tabby who just isn't all there but who brings in the much needed relief from the serious world. I myself wouldn't be able to care for so many but I love that you are willing to give your life's time to all these wonderful characters. Only the best get to touch so many lives. Thank you for sacrificing your fingers for this post.

I couldn't agree more with Val & Anna!!
This is the best thread of all times!!!

I come back and look at it several times a day, I quiz myself to see if I can match up names to faces!!

I'll get them all right one day!
(I already knew a few: Muskwa, Earle, Goldie, Heyoka, Paxil, Mac & Ozzy)

Thank you for taking the time out of your busy day to post all of your furkids.

Glacier, you should try to get a book published with all these wonderful stories’s and pictures.
You didn’t have a dog until you met your husband?
This question was asked by someone else in another thread and I would love to hear your answer.

Does the alpha dog treat the other dogs differently? For example, a dog that's not the alpha dog but isn't the lowest in the pack, would the alpha treat him better than the dogs who rank lower than that dog?

Also does the alpha treat females differently from other males?

[Queen of Poop]

I agree, you need to do a book with all these wonderful doggies and their stories. At the very least a 2 year calendar!! You are the very luckiest person in the world. And those doggies, they are just so heartwarming, each and every one of them. Thank you for sharing and for doing what you do for all of your animals.

I didn't have a dog til I met Stuart. I grew up with them--not huskies, but a vast assortment of mutts! Before Stuart, I lived in a condo in Calgary. The condo rules only allowed pets under 20 pounds so I had cats. I adore cats too! Stuart had Muskwa when we met and an ancient GSD he was permanently dog sitting. Muskwa was a crash course in huskies! Cobber was a delightful, crotchety old man. I miss that boy.

In my pack, Muskwa is the alpha dog and he treats everyone fairly equally. There are two exceptions. He has issues with Heyoka. Heyoka is likely to challenge Muskwa someday for top dog and will likely win just due to his sheer size. Muskwa does not like it if Heyoka gets too much attention, especially from Stuart. Right now, a loud "Muskwa, let it go" is enough to get him to leave Heyoka alone. The other exception is Earle. Earle is the only dog here that Muskwa has known since early puppyhood. Muskwa will protect Earle from the other dogs. He can snarl at Earle occasionally, but no one else is allowed to. Earle's very laid back so it's rare Muskwa has to step in anyway.

Muskwa plays with everyone, but normally he initiates play with the subordinate dogs. They sometimes try to start a game with him, but he will ignore them until he wants to play.

He treats the females the same, maybe even a little better. He has great respect for Sleet. She's much older than he is, but occasionally she wants to play. She almost always looks for Muskwa to play with. He's very gentle with her and never tries to play Husky WWF with her. He's also one of the few dogs Goldie will play with. Goldie has issues, but Muskwa gets through to her. I wouldn't leave him alone with Kayleigh. I wouldn't leave any dog with Kayleigh, but they have gone for walks together and she's been fine with him. She's highly dog aggressive so for her to even tolerate his exsistance is fairly major!
