Very nifty. I hope your BF and your dog are enjoying the weather. It's still cold here but no snow.

Thank you!
I've been there a few times, very interesting place. They have re-erected a few houses and even a (functioning) public bath. It's all complete with floor heating and usable kitchens. Very well done. They will go on to build more in the future but it was a quite big city. I think the houses they rebuild are all rather at the outskirts.

They are well, thank you. The dog is now over 70cm high.
Also, spring is coming. The weather is very nice most of the time and we get the first crocus and snowdrops.

that you've been there. It is also cool that they have restored some of the buildings. I'm glad spring is coming someplace, just annyed that it is so late getting here.

Wow, is that dog going to get any bigger? Do you have to run him around or does he exercise himself?

Hope your spring doesn't let you wait much longer. We had a year like that last year. Spring didn't come until May.

Usually Huskies don't get that big. He can grow until he's 1 1/2 (which he will be in summer), but we don't think he'll get much higher. His chest seems to get wider and things like that.
He is very active at home, playing all the time and running around before collapsing and sleeping. He doesn't have to run so much outside. I think one thing people often do wrong with Huskies is not integrating them enough in the family and not doing anything for their intelligence. They are really extremely clever and you have to make them use their brains in a good way or they have silly ideas. P, who had other dogs before, says our dog is very different from all he knew. As we once read in a Husky forum: there's a little bit of dog in every Husky.

Wow, he sounds like a lot of fun as long as he isn't destroying your furnishings. I think they are a really beautiful breed. Does yours have the blue eyes, do you need to comb out his fur weekly? I am . I miss our little furball, but until I get some sort of work---we can't afford the vet bills.

He never destroys anything... except for cleenex if he finds any lying around (like on my bedside table). He shreds them completely.

Ours has one blue and one brown eye. In autumn and spring he sheds lots of hair (like a cat, only bigger) and needs combing, yes. Unfortunately he doesn't enjoy it, so it's not very easy to make him stand still.

I can imagine that you miss him.

(I sent you an email with a picture of our dog)

Great pic, thanks Tav.
