| Press play and that racket you'll hear is Malkin and Paikea playing... Malkin usually does more talking than Pai. This is what our house sounds like...all the time. Sometimes we think it would be quieter to have 3 toddlers rather than 3 huskies. <g> |

| Our little Paikea... mugging for the camera, as usual. |
Paikea was already aware of how cute she is very early on, and she plays that
card as often as possible. No one knew at the time that she would have an
endless slew of nick names, from Pai to to Shortstack to Land Shark. Even at
this young tender age she was very very very demanding of bellyrubs; all is
right with the world if her belly is being rubbed. If she could find a way to get
belly rubs while jumping on Malkin's shoulders or having zoomies in water,
she'd never ever stop...come to think, she doesn't stop now.
Name: Paikea Taitin (a.k.a. Pie)
AKC Name: Hero's Third Times the Charm
Origin: Breeder (Hero's Huskies, TX)
Birthdate: September 25, 2005
Gotcha Day: December 8, 2005
Color: wolf grey with black points (and orange ears)
Eye color: neon blue
Pack Rank: mid-rank; thinks she's a guard dog (she's not!)
Personality: goofy, airheaded, dangerously affectionate, playful, vocal,
happy-go-lucky, trouble maker, just plain odd
Profession: canicross, being a cute diva, running on the sled team in any
position other than wheel (she actually focuses when in lead, it's weird!)
Bad Husky Behavior: digging crevasses in the yard; killing frogs and moles;
rampant zoomies; shredding futon cushions
Just plain odd Paikea behavior: doing Stevie Wonder impressions while wooing
like Chewbacca from Star Wars (seriously...she's so crazy)
Paikea's Motto: It is possible to over-frolic.

Our Gentle Giant, Malkin... showing us his quiet dignity (most of the time anyway). |
Malkin has always been the more unassuming one. Oh, he still knows how to play up the cuteness
factor (show me one adored furkid who doesn't!). But he relies more on his devious schemes for
world domination than his looks. The one thing he will stop plotting for? Neck scratches! And he'll
let you know when you've reached just the right spot too. But we had no idea when we adopted
that 8 lb fluffball that he'd grow up to be 75 lbs and 30" tall at the withers...and all fur.
Name: Malkin Nehayo (a.k.a. Bubs)
Origin: Rescue
Birthdate: May 29, 2004
Gotcha Day: July 24, 2004
Color: Black and white with black points (and a snow nose in winter)
Eye Color: bi-eyed & parti-eyed in two different shades of blue and one of brown
Pack Rank: benevolent Alpha male
Personality: laid back, gentle, nurturing, deviously clever, vocal, stubborn; everyone who knows
him for more than 10 minutes agrees that he's just an alien in a dog costume.
Profession: TDI registered therapy dog; sled dog in training (does well anywhere in a team, even in
lead); kleptomaniac.
Bad Husky Behavior: chasing smaller animals; dragging humans out for walks (face down on the
ground, if necessary); digging land mines; sassing everyone back; refusing to sit until he's yelled
at you first.
Just plain odd Malkin behavior: "talking" in English-sounding woos (Wooglish) without
prompting and always in context; using tools to steal cornbread; convincing us he has to go out to
pee when he actually just wants to roll around in snow.
Malkin's motto: Never mistake Gentle for Weak

Malkin's "air head" photo.
Neenah was the first Husky Havoc foster / foster-failure. After healing up
from mange and some behavioral concerns like nesting syndrome, she has
mellowed her personality (though not her activity level, which somewhat
resembles that of a Jack Russell puppy on Red Bull). She is Ridley's girl
completely, and loves riding around in cars and swimming.
Name: Neenah (a.k.a. Beans)
Origin: Rescue / Foster
Birthdate: unknown; we chose October 31, 2006
Gotcha Day: March 17, 2o07
Color: Black and white with silver, black points
Eye Color: freaky ice-blue, almost white
Pack Rank: still figuring that out, but she is bossy
Personality: wild n crazy, dangerously affectionate, just wants to be with
people; does everything full throttle or not at all, exuberantly happy-go-lucky
Profession: guard dog (seriously); sled dog in training (she's a little
powerhouse!); console surfer / car co-pilot (she has to sit on the console in
the car and navigate; she has an uncanny sense of balance!); toy hoarder
Bad Husky Behavior: high prey drive, digging, tearing up beds, pouncing
people, "killing" her toys
Just plain odd Neenah behavior: swimming, refusing to squeak her "baby
doll" plush toy, pond dredging (see swimming...on 40' tie outs...you get the
idea), console surfing, allowing Ridley to take silly photos of her with props
Neenah's motto: I have a motto?
