This is our male husky, Lobo. He is a natural athlete with all the keen senses of a wolf but the disposition of a puppy. He just turned 3 years old earlier this month.

This picture was taken during our recent trip to Donner Pass, Lake Tahoe. He absolutely loves the winter. We indulge him with a few minutes of freedom to just run around the snow unleashed and wild. It's amazing how this 50-lb. pooch, who has never seen snow until last winter season, taken in the surrounding white powder of snow like he has lived in it all his life. Agile and graceful even in the thickest and deepest of this white fluff.

The biggest misconception about huskies is that they are mean dogs. On the contrary, Siberian Huskies are sweet and affection dogs. If entered in a contest for best guard dog, huskies would score the least...better yet, flunk. I do believe though that they could become protective when necessary be it out of loyalty or in defense of their humans.

Although they strongly resemble their ancestor, the wolf, they are not at all vicious. I always say that if there was a burglar in the house, the huskies would gladly welcome the company and even show the burglar around if it means the human will stick around.

This other husky here is our female, Layla. She's our little princess...in every sense of the word. I would like to believe that this "attitude" is due to the reason that she just turned 1 and still considered a pup. She is such a cutie and boy does she know how to work it. Traumatized from the mistreatment of her previous owner left her a bit skittish and aloof, mistrusting the smallest of hand gestures. Despite these, she is extremely sweet and affectionate once she has warmed up to you. I say, time heals everything and Layla's condition is no exception.
