Aspen, the Dog of the Day
Name: Aspen
Age: Six years old
Gender: Male Breed: Siberian Husky
Home: Southern Minnesota, USA
 
   Hi, this is Aspen, a Siberian Husky living in southern Minnesota. Minnesota winters are Aspen's favorite season. He loves to go for long walks, we call them expeditions, in the fields and wooded areas near our home. When there is enough snow we take out the sled and attempt to do what sled dogs are bred to do but it doesn't always work the way it is supposed to work - especially when a deer or rabbit is nearby. When there is no snow, we use a bicycle to provide the vigorous exercise these dogs require on a daily basis. Aspen loves small children and always loves it when they come to see him. His best friend is a Lab named Kitsa that lives next door. they get together several times a week for a romp in Kitsa's back yard. Siberians are known for the unique way they communicate and Aspen certainly models that behavior. He makes all kinds of different howls, growls, and noises that make you think there is definitely something he is trying to say. He's an interesting dog, a lot of work but worth every bit of it.
