Tell them you spend a lot of time on your yard, and ask them to walk across your neighbors yard. If your only concern is YOUR grass, this will solve that problem.

Wasn't accusing you of mis-information; I was simply explaining what I have read. Thanks for the information.

If it was stock I would have been interested. Good luck.

Awesome guys. Thanks for the help. Too bad our washer isn't heated for the winter huh draco.

Looking for a touchless automatic or coin operated car wash on the west side of columbus. We live right behind Tuttle Mall, but any around hilliard or dublin would be fine as well. Google search for car washes doesn't tell you if it is touchless or not. Thanks guys.

My post says what we are going to do. When the vet says its time, we will fix her. I was under the impression 4-6 months old is a good time, but whenever they recommend it is when it will be done. Yes it did. We are going to be keeping zoey. Thanks for all of the help guys.

I figured we were being over cautious. Thanks for the help.

It should be interesting to see what social order they turn out to establish. While zoey is showing some signs, Lucy regularly kicks her ass lol, and will be a good 20lbs heavier. Lucy wore the "pants" with my brothers red doberman until his dobe was about 4" taller and 30lbs heavier than her. Thanks for the info/help.

Good........ Thanks.

I was hoping you would post up since you had Boxers. Thanks for the info, it was very helpful. I did read up on 2 females being the worst combo of dogs for aggression issues. I will certainly read up more on this with regards to Boxers/Ridgebacks. Zoey will be getting fixed as soon as the vet says its time, they say that will greatly reduce the chance of aggression. Lucy always has her butt in the air, and front low in the "play" stance. She also "hops" like a deer while playing which reassure me that she is just playing. Post up those links if you get a chance. Thanks.

At a minimum I would do pads. SS lines and fluid might not be a bad idea either and rotors depending on their condition. Of course only if this is allowed in the stock class.

All of my research on the internet shows that the Husky is a dog that does very well with other dogs. They infact recommend having a second dog with a Husky. Our Boxer/Ridgeback is also a high energy dog.

Lucy is about 2.5 years old. We do need to make sure they each get some alone time each day. Something we have not been doing regularly. Thanks.

Any specific hints you could give us to help the process? or will time be the biggest aid. We have started to really set up rules with zoey. Lucy gets her food put down first, drinks the water first, gets pet first etc. We do however make sure zoey has plenty of all of the above. Thanks

Sounds like we are being a bit over cautious with lucy then. Thanks.

Its been about 3 weeks, so are you saying that we are expecting too much? Is the behavior explained above acceptable? Just looking for some direction. Thanks

We do need to exercise zoey a bit more, and we have been doing daily training to help her mentally exercise. This is the exact reason we are seeking outside help/info because I think we both forgot what a puppy acts like. Thanks for the reply.

So as some of you know we recently decided to try to get our new Husky pup Zoey a new home. Well I am having second thoughts. The problem is that I get REALLY confused when reading our resident dog Lucy's behavior. Lucy is the best dog my wife and I could have asked for, she was a handful when younger but has grown into the ideal dog. When they play together, I have a hard time differentiating what is play, what is jealousy and what is hostile behavior. Lucy has never instigated a fight, and is submissive in nature. She likes to play with Zoey, they run around together, play tug of war with stray socks etc. They bark at each other, growl (never aggressively) and play bite. None of their actions seem mean, however I get confused. Lucy will open her mouth to show teeth and nip at zoey, zoey will do the same. Lucy will get on top of zoey, nipping at the neck, legs etc, but never hurting zoey. Zoey will do similar things like bite the extra skin around lucy's neck and have her mouth open. The thing is when Zoey "shouts" in pain, lucy stops for a second to make sure everything is ok which is good behavior I read online. They seem to both instigate play time. Zoey seems to annoy lucy though. Lucy will be laying on the couch, zoey will try to jump up, and lucy will get annoyed and jump down and be like WTF. Other times they play "lovey" like; being real gentle, sharing toys, etc We both really like zoey, and do not want to see her go. We don't want to get rid of her because she is too much work, we wan to make sure lucy will not be harmed emotionally by adding Zoey to our family. We need some help to see if their interactions are indeed acceptable in the dog world. Thanks guys.

Thanks for all of the interest guys. We are keeping her. Aaron

I can help too if needed. Looks cool shanton. Looks like I will be needing a ride in this one as well. Hopefully I fit in it. lol

Draco I was completely joking about being a badge snob. I wouldn't say anyone that owns Subaru's is a badge snob, especially one that drives your rally car around town!! It was a bad joke lol. The STI on the filler plate was something I was going to mention, but was so small I left it out. It is a great looking car with the right mods. Just a few TINY things I would change if it were mine, and I do wish it were mine;)

Keeping Zoey, thanks for the interest. Aaron

17/20, guessed the beetle, got the Hummer ? wrong and the kia color, guessed blue. Did anyone else play with the horn, wipers, radio, hazards etc? lol

Awesome MS Paint work http://i146.photobucket.com/albums/r247/A4SHO/dracosti2.jpg That looks much better IMHO.
