Hey P+B, your website displays fine with Firefox, by the way. Good luck with those Siberians. I raised one from a fluff ball when I was a teenager. They're a great breed. That beautiful dog would greet me by grabbing my hand, just like a wolf. When he wanted to go outside, he'd go to the backdoor, touch the knob with is nose, turn, look at me and start singing. (Whoa, and we're both over 1/2 century. Not many here can say that!)

Jimmy,
Jakenstein always grabs my hand --he owns me. JoeJoe talks all the time. And, we know what he's saying(most times). We love it. I love this breed!

P+B, I know what you mean. I miss my "Rurik" (Russian for Chief) so much. At the time I lived in a rural area and had him trained to always come home - but let him roam and hunt by himself. I later found out he had bitches and offspring throughout a 10-mile radius of our house! There were little Ruriks all over the place. And he was the happiest dog I ever had.

Pork & Beans,
A big high five from a 5th generation Oregonian here! Get rid of them hippies and I might even consider coming back.

Your puppies are beautiful!

Jonag,
Please come back! We need your vote...if you can get it counted!
~P&B~

were does he get these addvertisments?

P&B - dude, I've thought for years that I'm Pat McManus's biggest fan, I own everything he's ever written and read it all countless times (I even subscribed to Outdoor Life from 1981 or so for the next ten years just so I could read Pat's humor column in the magazine). Perhaps you and your writing instructor living up in the Pacific Northwest helps but being a lifelong Tennessee native, I swear the only reason I knew about Pat at all was Outdoor Life, and his books being on sale in the chain bookstores.

So did you follow your writing instructor's advice and read McManus?

If so, are you saying that what you've written and you write is like that?

If so, have you written anything for publication?

If you can't already tell, I'd be interested in reading anything that a writing teacher said resembled McManus, so hook me up if you want and can.

For any of you reading this comment that don't know Pat McManus, do yourselves a favor and check him out; even if you're not into hunting/fishing/camping his short humor pieces are an absolute riot -- they are timeless and good clean fun and if you read them late at night you'll be waking the family, falling out of your recliner or bed laughing.

These days I read McManus stories to my 9 year-old twins and they adore that.

Oh, P&B, loved your website, too; Huskies are indeed beautiful. Congrats and thanks for being a kind, quality breeder of a fine dog.

My family of four (not counting dogs, that's another four now) rescued two Golden Retriever mixes just a couple months ago from the local shelter and then my mother-in-law went and bought my daughter a Morkie (which has become my responsibility, since I work from home lol -- that 3 pound Napoleon is much harder to deal with than any big dog I've ever been around!). Whew, we already had a 13+ year-old Lab mix! Now I feel like I'm running a kennel myself!

Um, Bill here, I posted the really long post earlier, I feel like a doofus for not reading the whole interview before I fired off a comment ... lol, you answered the Pat McManus questions and I'm heading over to your blog to check it out right now!

Great answers Pork and Beans! Good luck with your Dog Breeding Business. Bet you are a big fan of Vick! I'd forgotten about the Mexicannon! Another of Frank's great inventions! LOL!
