The Ups And Downs of Adopting A Siberian Husky
For years, my husband and I have wanted to adopt a husky puppy. We have always admired the breed and their strength. We think they are majestic and wild. The fact that they can adapt to the coldest of temperatures, pull heavy loads on dangerous terrain, and thrive independently or in a pack environment always fascinated us.

Lola
I have a Pit bull-Boxer named Lola. She just turned four in October 2017. She is still as innocent and as happy as she was before she was even fully grown. She loves to stick by my side all the time. When I'm sitting on the couch, she's curled up right next to me snoring, or she's flopped with her head on my lap. When it's bed time, she's either snuggled on my mom's bed or on my bed. She loves to lay very close too! When we go outside in the backyard, she loves to either run laps around the garage, or chase her toy when it's thrown for her. She'll even swing her toys around and throw them herself sometimes! On walks, she's extremely curious and loves to smell everything and gets excited when she sees other dogs or people or anything. Lola loves people, she even gets excited when she has to take trips to the vet. While waiting in the little room, she's always very wiggly and talkative. She sits like a good girl, but still gets fidgety and has problems sitting still when the vet comes in to see her.

But what makes them such good pets?
