We adopted Venus (now Bella) and we love her. I wanted to find out how her litter mates are doing and what size they are at currently. They are now 16 weeks old and Bella is 30pds. We wanted to see if she was normal for the litter and how her size compares to a full bred malamute of this age.  I am attaching a picture from a recent ski trip. Bella loved the snow and was great at the hut.  Any information will be great and we are loving our little girl.

Buster and his brother, Darwin (Saturn) spent yesterday together.  They spend time together just about every week.  But yesterday they went to the vet. Buster weighs in at about 33 lbs. while Darwin is up to 40.  He's huge.  They played the entire day together and Buster was exhausted last night.  He was still kind of slow this morning.

We adopted Mercury and he is now Buster.  He is doing very well and we love him lots.  He still has moments with the potty training (and believe me, it only takes a moment).  And there's the small issue of his landscaping and bringing bushes, root ball and all, into the house via the doggie door.  But I ended up with a new steam cleaner and we're working on it.

Hi All-- This is very exciting!  We adopted Mars - kept the name because we couldn’t agree on one, and anyway, “Men are from mars”.  The funny thing is that my husband has a pair of Marvin the Martian slippers and Mars won’t leave them alone no matter where we “hide” them he finds them.   He is huge, at 13 weeks he weighed 30 lbs. and today is his next vet visit, my guess is he’ll weigh in at about 40 lbs, he has grown a lot since then.   I am amazed at how obedient he is, didn’t expect that from his Mal side, but he did come to us with some basic training, one night right after we got him my husband said it’s time for bed, we both went off to get ready and then we couldn’t find Mars anywhere.  After looking everywhere else in the house we finally found him in his crate, we figured whoever trained him called it a “bed”.  He seems to be a very smart boy!  He’s house trained and knows sit, come, outside and leash.  He is very cuddly and lovable and the only thing we are seriously working on now is biting, if he doesn’t get his way he tends to grab our hand with his mouth, not really a “bite” just a gesture of control, got any good ideas on how to stop this behavior?

This is Jupiter (now named Kobuk). His adopters report he is house trained and is going through the big CHEW stage, but they have lost only one slipper so far! He weighs 35 lbs.
