I am glad they are not in this house! LOL

being a cat person I find the Malamutes rather intimidating. :o

Too funny!
:D

Just an aside, but when I travelled to Oregon one time I saw a massive gathering of sled dogs.
It wasn't something I had ever seen before obviously and I wasn't so sure about putting harnesses on dogs and racing them but the dogs appeared very happy and healthy and having a lot of fun. I had fun too.

Working dogs are happiest when they have a job to do, whatever that is—protecting, retrieving, herding, guiding, sniffing, fetching Doc's slippers/dropped remotes... As social creatures, they get gratification/satisfaction from having purpose and contributing to the benefit of the pack.

MrsD, are you glad they're not in your house because of the noise? Not sure why you're intimidated by the Malamutes—size? Teeth? Eyes?

While looking at that vid, I found another that was very heartwarming...

Our Maya gives hubby a loving rolling over on the floor "don't go" send off every time he goes out the front door.

When he is returning, I tell her... Here comes Dada...and she runs to the door and sits at attention when he comes in. Just like a dog. Rubs on him rolls on the floor etc.

Yes thanks for the soldier videos...they are always moving.
When I went away to college, our dog Boots, would greet me like some of the dogs in your video offering. I spent time with her when she was a puppy, and my Dad was a rather sadistic person so she didn't get much affection from HIM.... so every time I returned home, sometimes after a year...she'd be all wiggly and squealing and then sleep under my bed that night! Of course my dad was miffed....but I felt sorry for her. :o

Cats are strange. Maya will then if either of us walks into the house quickly and catching her off guard, she will run away from us. It all depends on how engaged she is. She tends to be very timid...and it has taken a long time to engage her -- the feral
heritage.. but now she will stay when my friend visits, but still runs away from our son. (Weezie runs from everyone, but will return if she feels like it).

Ol' Furface greets us like that after a week's boarding...

OTOH, we've had dogs that would jump into friends' cars as they were leaving to go home—anything for a ride in a car. :rolleyes:

LOL @ Charlie the cat. I've seen that behaviour before that's for sure.
