  1. Sorry to hear
  2. what a beauty! Is there no operation that can help?
  3. Love or hate the Epic, that distances and total ascent is crazy
  4. No I'm just helping out where humanity had failed them. This pic I stole from Facebook describes it best
  5. Some of you may remember Dexter. He is my first Husky rescue I picked up from a homeless shelter in Bloem. He was hit by a car and his back legs knee was injured. Long story short, Husky Rescue helped out, and I drove him to Onderstepoort to have a TPLO surgery done. This is him after the surgery : We had to keep him isolated in a small 3m × 3m room in the house for 10 weeks. 3 Times a day I had to manually stretch and massage his leg and put ice packs on to help with the recovery. He could only go out if he was on a leash, so basically that meant every time he wanted to go to the bathroom, we had to take him out on a leash. It was a long 10 weeks! After about 6 weeks he's leg was looking much better and we started to take him out on short controlled walks increasing the distance little by little each week. After 10 weeks this is the first picture of him outside without a leash smelling freedom! The last 4 weeks he was still kept in isolation outside in a bigger area about 20m × 10m and still being taken for regular walks. Now he is back with my pack and he's knee is looking good and runs and plays like nothing was ever wrong!
  6. Daai is 'n lelike sny. Bly dis is nie ernstig nie.
  7. Can't believe that this is the same shy 6 month old Golden Retriever a year later. I bought him and his white German Shepherd brother of Gumtree from people who clearly had no right in the first place in owning a dog. Edit : Goose is playing with an old mtb tire that has curled up from all the tug of war he plays with his brother

  16. yip, recently went to 34 × 20 and I'm the limit at some technical climbs, if you can call it climbs
  17. Guys, please help!! You all know IanJ. This was the message he posted on Facebook last night : "What a terrible, terrible day and one I will have nightmares about for some time. Husky Haven was attacked by a swarm of bees today, Joy was taken to hospital by ambulance but is ok and back home. Sonic and Jasmin were the first I came across who were in very bad shape, poor Sonic was trying to hide under his splash pool and screamed in agony when I picked him up. I went back for Jasmin and rushed them through to the vet. I went back to get Spirit and Skylar who were next worst but Spirit was already dead when I got there. We got Skylar and rushed her also to the vet. Unfortunately she didn't make it and passed away. I was stung several times and had to borrow a full gas mask from Philip my son to go back in to get the rest out. One by one we got them all out and up to the waiting cars who shuttled them to the vet who had called out all their available resources. We need prayers for Sonic and Jasmin who are fighting for their lives and every single one of the rest of them who will be under observation for the night. They had all been stung to some extent or another. We are also going to need some help with funds please, every single Haven dog is at the vet which is going to be expensive, please make donations to the Husky Rescue Account. Account name: Husky Rescue SA Bank: Standard Bank Branch: Cape Gate Branch Code: 02 39 10 Account number: 271 474 092 As we get news we will keep everyone updated please keep them all in your prayers. I need to thank Philip Jones and Taryn Jones who were once again fantastic in arranging for the paramedics to attend to Joy and Taryn was a star helping me get the dogs out. Thank you also to all the Husky Rescue supporters who rushed out to help."
  18. Guess who is being neutered today. Shame my poor dog, but I know it's for his best interest. The one on the left, Maverick, is being snipped. The one on the right, Goose, thought I was taking them both
