Husky Dental Hygiene

Lupus was starting to get a bit of plaque on his back teeth, so the vet recommended some enzymatic toothpaste from a company called Virbac. It works with the natural enzymes in a dogs mouth to get rid of plaque and it seems to be doing the trick. Lupus is just getting used to it, as we've used 'dentastix' and other things like that to keep his teeth clean, but they haven't worked very well and his gums were suffering.

This is now part of his daily routine, and he gets more tolerent with it every time. The poultry flavour probably helps a lot though!



If anyone has any helpful tips or advice on the technique it's always much appreciated!

Lupus on his Sunday walk

This is a little video of Lupus on his Sunday walk, round a loal reservoir. Some husky owners might be amazed that he's off the lead, but he's very good and this area is actually fenced in with a river down one side, so it's s safe place to give him a good run. As you can see though, he's pretty obedient and is an absolute pleasure to be around.



We're determined to teach him some new tricks though!

Grooming Time!

It was recently time for Lupus to blow his coat, so we took a little video of him being groomed. Is this the most chilled out dog in the world or what?

Water Sculpture at Chelsea Flower Show

Not really got much to fdo with Lupus, although Giles Rayner the water sculptor loves him and Lupus always has great fun with Giles' dog Mali, who is a lurcher. This is Giles' exhibition at the Chelsea Flower Show in 2006:



He has done a lot of fantastic sculptures both for commercial and private commissions, so if you'd like one of your own you can see Giles' website here: http://www.gilesrayner.com/

October 2006 - It's been a while

Well, it's been a while since Lupus kicked me in to writing something on his blog, so here you go. He's had a pretty hectic year and it's not over yet. We've been all over the UK on various trips, and we've also moved home... which Lupus loves as it gives him a chance to make a new set of friends.

The place we've moved to has lots of small dogs, which don't always get on with something like a huksy. In fact, most of the dogs are a nightmare because they're spoilt and not allowed to be proper dogs, but thankfully there are some great dogs and owners around.

Anyway, I'm going to post some videos from the past few months, so watch this space.
