So many of you correctly noticed - we have a new pack mate.
Meet Frankie.
And, yes, he is fitting in very well.
Frankie came to us from our good friends at Siberian Husky Assist, the same people who guided Kodiak into our lives several years ago. We will back over with them January 14 for their annual Winterfest. If you are anywhere near Bristol, Virginia, please plan on attending this great event and support Siberian Husky rescue.
Frankie has settled in very nicely. He has found the dog closet where all of the good things are stored, and tried to walk away with a bag of 100 bully sticks. We certainly have to give him credit for thinking big. And he is learning how to ride in a seatbelt in the Jeep (some pictures of the bloopers from that experience later this week). And he has taken quickly to our hiking routines.
Most importantly, he is learning the rest of The Herd. He has proven to be quite the flirt with the girls and is especially smitten with Natasha (again – more credit for thinking big). He and Cheoah are closest in age and they are already engaging in some smack down wrestling matches. We will show you some pictures later this week showing how well he and Kiska are getting along. And he and Qannik and Rusty get along fine with only a small amount of that boy dog trying to outdo each other stuff.
For the next week or so, he will continue to gain more freedom as he continues to prove himself trustworthy in the house and with every other pup, but so far everything is progressing very well. He also gets vet checked this week. We do not anticipate any challenges as all of his vet checks from the rescue were clean. We are guessing he is around 40 pounds and probably a year and a half old.
Welcome to The Herd, Frankie!
Oh Frankie! We’re glad you’ve found he Herd!! We’re taking about who might join our pack. Not tomorrow, but at some point…
Welcome Frankie! We will look forward to getting aquainted with you, and reading about your personality. You are adopted into one of the finest Sibe families anyplace. Life will be very good for you, you lucky boy!
Cheers and Hugs,
Jo, Stella and Zkhat

Congrats on finding a great new family, Frankie! And also for thinking big when you decide to sneak a snack. We had a cat who tried to make off with a 2-pound package of chicken once, so I totally understand your desire to just go for it all! Have a wonderful time getting to know everybody!
Welcome Frankie!
Stop on by for a visit

Hey there Frankie!! Good to meet ya!
Yea Frankie! Welcome! Cant wait to read more about you!
I am so happy for you, and for Frankie! I’d also just like to say that I especially needed to read a post like this today about how wonderful new beginnings are. Frankie has landed in Siberian Heaven on Earth!
WooRay for Frankie, you are one lucky pup. We wish you all the best.
Remy and Flash
Welcome franke! Woo hit the jackpot with the herd. That’s better than maling it as a rocket or a Beattle! Now we can’t wait until we hear all about putting the hu dads thru every best sibe move you got. Raiding the dog closest is child’s play. Let’s see some moves they haven’t thought of yet! Booowahahaha! Love those gorgeous eyes. Juno is smitten!
100 bully sticks…Bully for you!
I already knew about Frankie, but officially, welcome to the family Frankie! I know you’re going to fit right in.
Wow Frankie, you are the luckiest Sibe around to have landed in such an amazing Herd. Big shoes to fill to fit in? Sure. But oh so very worth it! Welcome handsome boy, we look forward to getting to know you and share your antics. We are certain you will add a unique voice to your fantastic forever family’s song!
How wonderful for all around. Nice to hear Frankie is fitting in so quickly.
We are so happy for Frankie and the rest of you! I’m so happy he is fitting in so well. What a brave boy for having a crush on the Evil Queen!!!
Holly
Wow, Frankie has some stunning eyes! Definitely an attention grabber. Must say he is brave to go after the Queen. Can’t wait to hear more about Frankie.
Congrats!
PS. We are on bully sticks now too – just love that stuff.
Welcome Frankie! Awww, what a handsome boy!
What a beautiful boy! Welcome Frankie! Weren’t you just trying to keep the hu-dad on his toes pulling those bully sticks out? I mean, if you can get to them, can’t they all? Always keep them guessing Frankie!!
Awesome! Welcome Frankie!
He is beautiful & so lucky to have such a great new home
Frankie is a very handsome Sibe! And, he has a great sense of humor, trying to walk away with a bag of 100 bully sticks. Congrats on your new pack member. And, congrats to Frankie, for he hit the jackpot when you chose him!
A huge welcome to Frankie!
Nice to meet you Frankie! You have certainly got very lucky getting to become part of the Thundering Herd pack! They are awesome, and we are a bit jealous
Licks and lots of slobber,
