Lauradale's Siberians

Lorri & Laura Barron,

Hi, its me again, Sasha Nicoal Somerset (TrishF5).

We had our first snow fall of the season a few days ago and while it
did not amount to much, I love it of course being a husky. My only
disappointment is that there are now fewer blowing leaves for me to
chase after as I practice trying to pull my pack mate off his feet.

I am working on following commands actually and am making progress.
Inside, I have learned the commands "drop it" and "leave it" after
returning toy while playing fetch. Of course,I prefer my own version
of "keep away," which frustrates anyone trying to play fetch with me.

As of a few days ago, I weighed 38.8 lbs. at the vets and am enjoying
good health. Each day I walk the neighborhood and, I must say in
modesty, am popular with many of the neighbors.

Merry Christmas and Happy New Year.

Sasha.

P. S.

And happy Holidays from Richard and Karen Crawford too.

Hello again!
I hope you are all well, just wanted to pass along some new photos of Zoe (sassyfmale06), we've been having so much fun with her! She's learning everything so fast, she knows a few tricks now and is growing like a weed! she's made a lot of new friends and enjoys all the attention she gets :)
It's hard to believe she's already almost 4 months! She just lost 2 of her front teeth last night with a couple more about to fall out. She saw snow for the first time last week and LOVED it, we have a large hill in our back yard that she enjoyed sliding down :) With more snow in our forcast for this week I'm sure she'll be one happy puppy.
I hope you all have a wonderful holiday!

Hello from North Carolina!
Zach and I wanted to let you know that the 3 of us made it home just fine around 2am Tuesday. Zoe did great too! Not one accident in the car and she is adjusting very well to her new home. We took her outside and let her run around our backyard for a while today, she had a blast and I snapped a few photos for you. She seems to enjoy chasing the leaves around the yard as they blow in the wind more than any of the toys we bought her :)

We are having a blast with our little girl and can't wait to introduce her to our families.

Hope you are all doing well, thanks again!!!

Xena is growing into a beautiful little girl and all of the neighbor hood kids love her. I can tell by the way she acts around other dogs that she would love to have a playmate of her own. She sure has attitude. Her way or NO WAY. Ha Ha! She is doing very well and I will give her lots of hugs from all of you.

Dear Ms. Lorri,
Hi, its me, Sasha Nicoal (Trish female 5), my second name is based on my glossy black coat.
I'm official, registered with the AKC.
At about 4 and a half months old, I weighed 26.9 lbs. and the vet estimates that I will top 60 lbs when full grown.
My packmates, Richard and Karen Crawford, think that I am a great dog. Of course, being a Siberian I am at times quite a handful, but they knew that would be so from their previous husky.
I have been enjoying good health.
I am trying to get along with Amber, the cat, who usually stays upstairs during the day while I am downstairs, but at night when I go upstairs to sleep, the cat and I experiment with trying to get along and we have actually touched noses.
Richard or Karen walk me two or three times a day. I have plenty of toys to play with and enjoy a good game of toss and return. Richard and Karen have taught me the command, "drop it" after I bring the toy back to them for another toss.
Seriously, we really have fun with Sasha. You may be interested to know that she is getting a little bit more white and gray fur extending up her legs and on underside of tail, but her back and top of head are a rich glossy black for the most part with hints of reddishness.
Sincerely,
Richard & Karen Crawford

Hi there – my husband and I wanted to send you updated pictures of Jax who we bought from you in May of this year. He is getting so big so fast! He is absolutely amazing and makes us so happy! He just turned 6 months on 9/29/10 and just reached 42lbs! we just wanted to share some photos with you of him as he grows up and thank you for making him a part of our lives! Picture 6 was taken 1 month ago and Picture 7 was taken this past weekend – the first 5 were over time since we have had him. We’ll be sure to send you some more in the winter once he sees snow for the first time!
Take care,
Brian, Kelly & Jax Connolly

Hi Lorri!

Thank you for everything. People always ask us where we got Cooper because he is the best looking Husky in the area (most that we have seen at the dog park are scrawny and very thin). Even the vet commented on his fantastic build last night. Needless to say, your family business always comes highly recommended by us!

Let me know if one of the pictures that I sent you makes it on to the site.

Have a good one and thanks again!

Hi all again,
Bet you're tired of hearing from me...lol. Kevin took Tasha down to visit the hospital where he works to show off to a couple friends and the activity director happened to be in the parking lot when he was showing her off. He asked Kevin to get the pup involved in pet therapy at the hospital. He was really impressed with her. So Kevin is going to do it. They call her Thera-pup down there now...lol. If I can get some pics of her at work I will send them to you. People just can't believe how patient and quiet of a dog she is. She is so good.
Can't thank you enough.

Hi Lorri!
Hope all is well in Western PA. We were up there not too long ago with Lupo in front of the bike, 'mushing' like a champ on a visit to my in-laws. :-) He's 3 years old now and is really doing great! Everyone always thinks he's just a pup and the city folks around here (we live in Baltimore) are always asking what kind of dog he is. We always get a kick out of that. :-) I've attached a photo from the gigantic snow of 2010! He was such a happy boy!
Thanks for yout time, Lorri! Hope you're doing well!

Hi, Laura and Lorri. Congratulations on all of the exciting news on your blog, most of all, your baby news~!
I am emailing to share pictures of our pup, Logan Blue (from last April's Memory and Buttons litter), including one with his big brother, Storm Warning (from Sterling and Tessa's litter in October, 2005). Logan Blue is laying down in that picture. He's a great joy to us, so thank you!
All the best,

I know you're all very busy with working and the dogs and that Laura is taking it easy because of the baby [ congratulations by the way! :) ] But I thought I would write to let you know how Sable is doing!

Which is fabulous by the way. She's grown so much since she was such a little puppy and she looks sooo different now. Recently her coat seems to have really started coming it, it changed dramatically over the last few months.

I'm also already making future plans for a little brother for her within the next year or two!

Good morning Lorri,

Just wanted to let you know that we made it back to Philly without any problems. Sedona slept on my dad's lap all the way home. Everyone just loves her comments on how beautiful she is. The introduction to Wrangler and Cheyenne went well. Wrangler especially likes having a new little sister. This morning the two of them were running around in the back yard. I think it will take Cheyenne a little longer to come around, after all she is 12 and a half years old and I think the idea of another new puppy does not thrill her. She came around when I brought Wrangler home so I am sure she will adjust to Sedona. Thanks again and I will send you some pictures in the upcoming weeks.

Just wanted to give a much overdue update to let you know how much we have loved and cherished our husky we purchased many years ago. Her name is Raindance and you can see she has done very well. Purchased around May 2004.

Thank You again,

Hi Guys,
Just wanted to thank you for such a beautiful puppy. Her name is Lacey. My 16 year
old named her. Her big sister is Lilly. Here are some pics. She is fitting in very well.
Lilly has a few words every now and again. Lacey can hold her own. She goes most of
the day with no accidents. She sits before being feed. She is going to be an easy trainer.
We just love her. She is filling a void in our lives. We had lost one of our children in
January. It's been a very rough year so far. She is helping all of cope a bit easier. We are
now at least laughing everyday. Thank You So Much. We will keep you posted.

We were at a dog walk today hosted by one of the area's radio stations. There were lots of Dog Rescue's there including one for Siberians. I stopped by there tent with Wrangler and everyone just commented on what a beautiful dog he his coloring and markings were beautiful. We had just come from the Petsmart where he graduated beginner training. I have a picture of him with his cap on. I'll try to send that to you. It's a great picture.

Thanks again Lorri.

Hi Lorri,
It has been 2 months since brought her home. She is just a doll, and getting really big. She goes to puppy daycare here while we work during the day, where they all are just in love with her. We hear all the time, what a great personality she has.
We decided on the name Rogue.

Good afternoon,

I'm just writing to let you know how Sable is doing! I can't believe tomorrow is a week shes been home, it feels kind of like she's just gotten home, and she's growing pretty fast.

She's almost leash trained already and is doing well with most training. She knows 'sit' 'come' and she is starting to learn the 'down' command. I don't keep her confined at night but she does so well, once the lights are off she goes and lays down and goes right to bed. Honestly I don't think I could have asked for a better puppy.

Hi All,
Hope you are dealing well with the snow, I know you've gotten LOTS more than we did and we have a least 2 1/2 feet of it. Just thought I'd send these updated pics of "our" Bella and let you know that John tells me daily that Bella is the BEST dog he's ever owned, also the smartest! We love her and are hoping to add to our family with another at the end of the year. Laura, keep us posted when Misty has her foal…can't wait to see what color it turns out to be!
Thanks much,

Hi Lorri & Laura

I just wanted to give you an update on Cairo. He is adjusting extremely well to his new home and so far everyone has fallen in love with him. House training is going well, and he has already learned "sit" and "down" and actually plays fetch! He is such a pleasure, and I wanted to thank you again for such a lovely boy.

Please find pictures of him attached.

Take care,

Hi Lori,
I've enclosed the latest picture of Maiko at almost 4 months! She has a real sense of humor and is a big talker. She often "woo woo's" at any moving object (blowing leaves, people, dogs, etc.) she sees and sings to me everytime I come home. She's brought me a lot of joy and I'm hoping to get another husky when she gets a little older.
Thanks for everything,
Kate

Hello. My name is Danielle Ciotti and I bought one of your puppies, Jericho! Jericho was from Jenna-Rae's Litter. The litter was born March 31st. Jericho is now 9 months old. I just wanted to send you a couple pictures of Jericho now. I couldn't be anymore happy with the decision I made to get Jericho! He has brought nothing but happiness to my family. I am looking to add on another Siberian Husky to the family in the near future! Hopefully an all white female with blue eyes. Thank you so much for everything you've done!
