Fuck, we're watching Paw Patrol and there's a little female husky named Everest and I think that's really freakin cute. So, the puppy we're getting is a female husky/lab mix...thoughts....?

I love the name Everest!  So cute!  You could also name her McKinley (after Mt. McKinley?) or Denali (Nali?)  

Oooh, Denali...

We have a female husky. They are really good with kids and cats, but not always with other dogs. (from my experience anyways)

ETA - To clarify - Other dogs seem to hate our all white husky. She just doesn't like when other animals go near her food.

The dog we lost a few years ago was a husky (male) and he was.fantastic. I mean, he just had a great disposition. His big fault was that he was a runner (uh, duh) so we always had to be vigilant with the door and to make sure his collar was tight enough when walking.

In October 3 years ago we thought he had a blockage so he had emergency surgery, turns out he had an aggressive form of lymphoma and his freakin small instestine ruptured (wtf dog, how about give us a warning??), but he lived to two more months and was even great with DS then, who was 6 months old, after his surgery and on pain meds and whatnot. Just a great personality.

H has been dead set on another husky while I have been dead against it. I don't want to deal with the running, especially with DS now 3 and able to go out the door by himself, he just doesn't have the awareness to be careful. Our lab we have is just a slug and never runs anywhere so we don't worry at all, he's outside with us all the time. So I'm hoping *fingers super crossed* that the lab/husky mix ends up with stronger lab qualities

[thechickencoop]

Ugh, H literally just sent me this: 
This is one of the three that we'll pick from.

[housecarder]

As far as parenting fails and car seats go, DS went through a phase where he liked to unbuckle his upright car seat. He'd lean over and push the red button but the seat belt wouldn't come all the way out of the back of the seat so I would never notice until we would turn a corner and he'd lean into it and the seat would just fall over as we turned. He would laugh so hard, it was like a toddler roller coaster to him.

[Deleted]

ugh housecarder, I hate that stage when they are old/strong enough to unbuckle themselves! I can't count how many times I've had to pull over and explain the car doesn't move until you're strapped back in!

I'm sorry about your guy. He sounds like he was pretty active- eta: and awesome, I meant awesome.

She isn't a runner.She will run out of the house occasionally but just onto the yard, but is good about coming back. MH walks her offleash in a few parks and she always stays nearby( he's a rule breaker).

She is almost 10 now and loves licking babies.

thechickencoop Our parents gave us a puppy on Christmas when we were kids. And it's a really special memory that we have of her always. She was an amazing dog, and looking back it's always so warm and fuzzy thinking of how she "arrived". Her middle name was No.el as well.

I think if you are getting the pet for the right reasons, it doesn't matter that's it's a Christmas "gift"
She would have been with us from beginning to end no matter what time of year we had gotten her.

I'm drinking a vodka/Fresca with Fresca that expired in 2012. I mean, it was refrigerated the whole time and it was still carbonated....cool, right?

I read that as Franzia and also that you were making a vodka sauce. I am still confused and frightened.

Nonono. No wine or sauce involved. Vodka + Fresca + lime. Would prefer club soda but apparently I drank it all :/

It should be fine. If it looks the right colour, I would drink it. Enjoy

This might also be a confession but if it looks/smells/tastes fine I eat it. Expiration dates are a bunch of BS most of the time.

H? Is that you?
He will eat or drink anything unless it's actually growing something. I toss anything remotely questionable. I know exp dates are bs but I can't help it. I've eaten in restaurants in the developing world where I couldn't even tell you what animal the "meat" came from without a care...but an unopened jar of pickles that expired a month ago? Toss it. And if it's milk that's been open for more than three days, I'm pretty sure it's curdled and I'm not willing to check...I make him smell check and sometimes even with his thumbs up, I still can't drink it.

Yes. Yes it has. There's about 6 in there. We used to host a lot of gatherings at our house so I always had a bunch of different drinks on hand. That's just one that never ever got drank. I mean, it's kinda gross. IMO. Blech.

I'm good surpassing most expirations, I still drank the fresca lol. Milk is one though that if it's opened more than like, 2 days, I can't drink it. That's why we switched to almond

To be fair I don't drink milk period.  I only have it when it's drowning my delicious cereal or cooking - but we DEH-EH-EHFINATELY use milk for weeks after it has been opened.

See mosdub I'm not the only cray. I just can't handle the idea of spoiled milk so I err on the side of safety. H agrees that I'm cray, but he will never convert me (and I also do coconut or almond milk for my office bc I take some every week and I would never trust regular milk).

FFFC: I once made those deli roll things and ate one and thought "hmm, that didn't taste good". Thought I was being crazy and ate another - didn't taste good. I worried the deli meat I used was bad, but it tasted fine all on its own. It was then that it dawned on me that the "new" mayo I used never had a seal on it when I opened it from the cabinet.

I have drank spoiled milk before (in cereal).

I survived.

Will still drink milk until it's either gone or bad.

(We go through about two gallons of milk a week... for two of us. We really like milk in the Bliss household.)

Same here. I am more of the milk drinker in the household but we easily go through at least a gallon a week.
