A Sad Decision

Due to my health, I had to make the hard decision not to foster anymore. This latest flare up has brought all sorts of issues with it and the energy is not there. I do plan to try to foster in the future when a long remission hits me. But until then, I will volunteer and help out where I can. I was trying to push it, when my husband stepped in because he saw it was too much on me. It's not a decision that was made lightly, but one that needed to be made. I will find a way to convert the blog, hopefully in a way that can continue to help those huskies that need a home.

For now, I will focus my energy on getting better, and of course, Sid. I hope to get to the point I can continue to foster soon, but I know I'm going to give myself at least through the holidays to get better.

Fostering is one of the most rewarding things I have done, and I encourage anyone who is debating on giving it a try to take the leap. I want to thank Husky Haven of Florida for both the opportunity to foster as well as the understanding in the change of situation with my health.

Full of Energy

As Bolt gets settled into the household routine, his energy is starting to make more of an appearance. He wants to play non stop, and Sid is going to be three in Oct. and tires a little quicker. Bolt would do great with a playmate or an active human. When not playing, he likes to cuddle. He thinks that he is a lap dog.

Sitting in his spot on the front porch

He can still be a little skittish and does not like to be startled. Certain movements or sounds will send him hiding. He will peek out and look for reassurance. Once he has it, he will come out and be himself. He has mouthed a few times, but he is eager to please, so with some work, that can most likely be broken. With patience and his eagerness to please, he has been easy to work with to train. Once he knows what we want from him, he does it.

Watching Simon

He has also adjusted to the cats being in charge. Occasionally, he's chased them in play, but hasn't been aggressive with them. He has run from them and has backed down from them on more then one occasion. He does like trying to get into cat food and the litter box, which is the biggest problem we are having with him and the cats.
