    They look like proper little persons :)

    And white tips (tail) just like my cat Felix)

    Which one is Taylor (the left one in bottom pic?), they all have very similar markings and colours

    @Paul "Mclaneinc" Irvine Yes, Talor is the one on the left, in both pictures, the red-eyed little devil (which in reality is the left eye is blue and the right eye green/hazel)

    All four of our Husky's have white tipped tails. That might be one trait all Siberian Husky's have.

    Huffy (both blue eyes and a lighter coat) is the one on the right, my brother's dog. They stay in their play pen ~20x20 feet), usually with their mother, mornings and evenings and come in when it's too hot in the afternoon and at night.

    Though you can't see them in those particular pictures, we got them both leather collars with their names in rhinestones, 2 each, one for now as puppies and one for later as adults. And they are both already on the last buckle hole of the collars now, so in a few weeks they will be getting their adult collars. They were only $10 each.

    They are starting to be taken for walks and house-trained though we need to get more consistent with it. Eventually a permanent fenced in back yard will be built for all the dogs to stay in together with several dog houses, etc.

    Such cute pups sir, I fear for the furniture indoors, I hear dogs are a bugger for chewing stuff. Saying that, cats are as bad, everything is a scratching post to them..

    The other thing with cats is that there's no walking involved, I did want a dog for a while but as my mobility became a bit more awkward I felt it would be cruel to get a dog and then either not walk it or leave all that to my wife. Back in the day I'd have done all of it and then some, but now my fluffy old cat gets the best of both worlds.

    Have fun with the big old pups Matt, my wife just dribbles when she sees new pics of them.

    Yes they are cute, yes there are both furniture chewing problems and stealing socks and underwear out of the laundry bin and chewing them up as well. The first they are being disciplined and trained against and the second, also disciplined but they should grow out of it; it's more a puppy only thing (of course there are always trouble dogs, exceptions to the rule).

    While we did have family dogs off and on (and cats), as an adult on my own I only owned cats due to the ease of care and not needing much attention, walks, etc. too. I was always so busy with work and always renting where it was up to the landlords if pets where allowed and dogs were allowed less often than cats. So I didn't feel I could give a dog a proper home.

    Then my friend in Texas practically begged me to take Beaux off his hands as he was the last of the litter and only wanted the parent dogs. So after saying no a couple of times I finally gave in and took Beaux off his hands. But I discovered that I'm much more a dog person than cat after all, and don't mind the responsibilities in lieu of the rewards. But of course all the dogs but the Husky's that we have were unintended rescues, but what can you do when pups just weeks old are abandoned on your land? And once you have a few, a few more isn't much different.

    The final plan of a large (a 1/2-full acre with both wooded and glade areas) fenced-in yard is so all of them have room to play with each other and run and we won't have to walk any of them anymore. They will have a doggie-door that allows them to go in and out of the house to the yard whenever they want as well as dog houses for shelter outside if they so choose and all we will have to do anymore (once the pups are properly trained and disciplined) is make sure they have food and water and give them some attention in the form of love and affection when they come to us looking for it. I hope to have a yard for them by the end of the year, but it may start out smaller and be expanded as I have more money for fencing and time to put it up.

    Brilliant, Matt. As Al and Paul have said, they are so adorable that whenever we see them - and my, haven't they GROWN(!) - we both say, LOVE EM to bits - if only!

    We'll all look forward to seeing them progress with you and your bro, bud and so pleased the other pups went to good, caring homes, mate.

    Wonderful heart-warming thread and images.
