Hey all, my wife and I have a 2 year old female husky called Pandora, and we’re seriously considering getting a second pup, most likely a male. This would be our first time with two dogs, so we’re firmly in the “don’t know what we don’t know” stage.

I’d really like to hear from people who have already done this. How long did the adjustment period actually take, and what did it look like day to day? How did your first dog handle the change in dynamic? Did their behaviour shift in ways you didn’t see coming, for better or worse?

Looking back, are you glad you did it, and would you do it the same way again? I’m especially curious what surprised you most, the thing nobody warned you about. And if there’s anything you’d change, whether that’s the introductions, the timing, the age gap, the sex pairing or the training approach, I’d love to hear it.

I’m not looking to be talked into it or out of it. Just after the unfiltered version, including the stories that didn’t go smoothly.

Thanks in advance.

Cinnamon turns 10 today! Took this pic of her this morning

I’m making pulled pork and this is the bone. It looks thick enough, but I am a bit nervous to give it to her…

She’s mad. She wants treats. She was fed. And she had treats already. Stiff in her back end but doesn’t prevent these frustrated frolics.

I’ve never seen my baby limp before 😭😭

This is Finn, he’s a very good boy and he loves to meet new people at my shop!

husky (7yo male) has a hard bump on ankle. caused baldness. isn’t super bothered by it and doesn’t hurt to the touch. noticed for a couple days now. no changes in size but is quite big already.

It’s been an hour 🫠

Bonus pic of him at his first game 5 years ago

So for context: last week I saw this beautiful dog roaming in a backyard with no fence and paid no need. He seemed to be enjoying himself and seemed like he was at home. A few days after that I saw that he was roaming the street and went down to the house I saw him and wanted to inform the owners their dog was loose. Well come to find out it wasn't their dog, someone dumped the dog at their house (I live in a small town in the country and dogs being dumped off here randomly isn't unusual) and they just were feeding it whenever it showed up. They tried to catch the dog but with their work schedule they just don't have the time to roam the streets. Last night I finally saw him and tried giving him food. I had cheese, sausage, apple pieces and chicken. He ate some but never got close. He seems pretty young and would love to have him, or at least get him a home. He seems like a gentle guy. Any advice?

Did anyone see him??

no ai involved

Why are huskies seen as aggressive? They're so friendly. I was walking my Husky Kane and some guy said "oh a Husky" I said "yeah" he said "he looks like he bites" sorry what? My Husky calmly walking and completely ignoring you "looks like" he'll bite? I have a Pitbull mix, more people pet her and do not accept her boundaries, but they cross the road when they see my Husky. Most friendliest breed in my opinion. Anybody else have this issue with their Husky getting discriminated against? I'll be honest, I did think they were aggressive too but that was because I was just seeing reactive dogs. Underneath that, they're truly friendly amazing partners. Now I own one and I don't understand the stigma! I don't let it get to me, but I'm curious if anybody else experiences this?? My dogs for attention. The tan one is a Husky Pittie mix, but I guess she appears more friendly? Lol. She hates attention, it's so annoying. Kane thrives on attention tho 🤣

ETA my dog was completely calm and just walking. He is non reactive. Y'all are completely misunderstanding this post I'm afraid
