"Kodiak" ~ My Husky Companion: March 2010
http://kodiakmyhuskycompanion.blogspot.com/2010_03_01_archive.html
Kodiak" My Husky Companion. Thursday, March 25, 2010. Skills Are Locked In. I determined previously that Kodi had become comfortable with learning certain skills in a specific environment and had some trouble translating those skills to new environments. An example being that we learned 'pick it up' in the house, without his vest or lead on and he had trouble performing the same skill outdoors. He would only get up on the bed, on my side of the bed and would only wait on my side for me. Last night he cam...

"Kodiak" ~ My Husky Companion: May 2010
http://kodiakmyhuskycompanion.blogspot.com/2010_05_01_archive.html
Kodiak" My Husky Companion. Monday, May 24, 2010. Pick it up" in Public. Took Kodi for a walk Saturday morning. He was such a good boy. We had a great opportunity to see if he could perform a simple task with his Halti and gear on. You might remember that we had a problem in the past with him performing a simple 'pick it up' task when he was wearing his walking gear. We had worked and worked on it, following the directions of a Service Dog training organization, but it didn't go well at all. We had walke...

"Kodiak" ~ My Husky Companion: He Just Knows
http://kodiakmyhuskycompanion.blogspot.com/2011/08/he-just-knows.html
Kodiak" My Husky Companion. Friday, August 26, 2011. Yesterday, my son's service provider was coming to take him out to do some personal shopping. I had put together a list, with the help of my son, of the items he needed to buy, the brands and scents he uses and prefers. Before she arrived, I handed him the list to put in his waist-pack, but he put his money and the list on the couch cushion instead. Typically, he brings things to me that he retrieves off the floor, as I've trained him to be my service ...

"Kodiak" ~ My Husky Companion: July 2011
http://kodiakmyhuskycompanion.blogspot.com/2011_07_01_archive.html
Kodiak" My Husky Companion. Sunday, July 3, 2011. A few months ago Kodi's friends Molly and Maggie moved away. He had been enjoying playtime at the fence with Molly, as she would bounce up and down the length of the fence with him, barking and playing happily. When new neighbors moved in, so did new playmates for Kodi. A black Newfoundland/Retriever named "Lela" and a Rottweiler/Mastiff puppy named "Demon". Unfortunately, Demon passed away when he was about 7 months old. I really enjoy watching them play...

"Kodiak" ~ My Husky Companion: January 2011
http://kodiakmyhuskycompanion.blogspot.com/2011_01_01_archive.html
Kodiak" My Husky Companion. Wednesday, January 12, 2011. Molly", the Giant Schnauzer/English Springer Spaniel mix who lived adjacent to Kodi's backyard for the past year has moved away. Molly" broke our hearts whenever we were in the backyard with Kodi. She would watch us playing with him, clapping our hands and calling out to him, chasing him around the yard, as she spent all day, nearly every day, in her backyard without so much as a toy to amuse herself. Being in the position of disagreeing with the w...

"Kodiak" ~ My Husky Companion: February 2010
http://kodiakmyhuskycompanion.blogspot.com/2010_02_01_archive.html
Kodiak" My Husky Companion. Monday, February 15, 2010. A "Girlfriend" and Concern. Kodiak has a new friend, a little girl doggy who lives next door. She's only about 14 weeks old and simply adorable. She thinks he's the greatest thing since "kibble". She's an English Springer Spaniel/Giant Schnauzer named "Molly". An adult dog, even Kodiak being a Husky, gets cold and can't tolerate prolonged exposure to freezing temperatures. An 8, 10 or 12 week old puppy certainly can't handle 11 degree windchill f...

"Kodiak" ~ My Husky Companion: June 2010
http://kodiakmyhuskycompanion.blogspot.com/2010_06_01_archive.html
Kodiak" My Husky Companion. Monday, June 14, 2010. Yes, it happened again. Kodi and I were out walking, in an area we chose to walk in because we were avoiding another area where we had been attacked several times. There is a stretch of road with no sidewalk, behind a ball field. Only the backs of houses face the ball field, so there isn't much activity on the street and portions of the road are shaded by old tree growth, so it makes for a quiet and serene place to walk. She jumped the fence! She ran tow...

"Kodiak" ~ My Husky Companion: December 2010
http://kodiakmyhuskycompanion.blogspot.com/2010_12_01_archive.html
Kodiak" My Husky Companion. Thursday, December 16, 2010. Today is Kodiak's 3rd Birthday. Happy Birthday my beloved boy. Tuesday, December 7, 2010. Yesterday, I had to make a trip to the Emergency Room. I've been coughing, feverish and achy for days, but over the weekend things took a turn for the worst. Many years ago, when I was in first grade, I was diagnosed with pneumonia. I spent two weeks in the hospital, the first in an oxygen tent. I spent 4 hours out of the house yesterday as I sat in the ER wai...

"Kodiak" ~ My Husky Companion: Early Morning Walks
http://kodiakmyhuskycompanion.blogspot.com/2011/08/early-morning-walks.html
Kodiak" My Husky Companion. Monday, August 22, 2011. Since sometime in June, North Central PA has been experiencing above normal temperatures and staggering humidity. We have endured sustained temperatures in the 90's and even consecutive days with triple digit temps, days with humidity in the 90% range, all of which are highly uncommon for this region of the country. It's been especially nice because we get to see a lot of nature's creatures and we can take the time to stop and 'literally' smell the flo...
