Our rescue hoosky mix has been named

Yipsy

She's 26 months. Looks to be mixed with golden retriever or lab, as the back side of her ears are dirty gold while the rest of her coat is whilte. She's very playful, hungry and super sweet.

The co-leaders in the clubhouse are, "Nilla" and "Milkie". Kids used to watch Curious George and incorrectly called one of the characters, "Milkie" which I used to think was so funny so an ode to something from their youth. Nilla is from Vanilla and an old obsession with Nilla wafers.

What would you name a white female husky mix?

Can't. That name is neither safe nor effective.

Yipsy

Family decided she will be dubbed, "Nilla" (woofer).

"Vaccine" was 2nd runner up.

Thanks to @sdandrea1 for the reply. I figured one reply or none. Never underestimate the snark factor.

Nilla is resting comfortably while the family is off at Costco. I get to make sure chaos doesn't ensue while they're gone.

And, I made my wife bring a little insulated cooler to sneak me home a very berry sundae (if they aren't out of Nilla yogurt again).

I preferred Nilla and was going to post it, but then you had other reasons for the other name... So I decided to withhold my vote.

But I think you made the better choice.

I appreciate it. Nostalgia is hard to beat but when mama don't like it it's doomed to fail. She was the one obsessed with getting this dog so it feels like her dog not the kids.

Nilla is a lot better. My daughter wanted nostalgia but her friends told her Nilla was better. She came around due to that peer pressure thing.

Nilla Nice is a nice nice baby.

Thanks, Rick. I think she's trans. She's stronger than the male husky we have. She's built like a tank. I thought maybe part pitbull given the muscle tone. Makes the male husky look like a wimp and he's afraid of her.

Thank you for being this dog's hero!

I like 'nilla.
I LOVE the 🎙️ drop. 💪

Just saw this… love Nilla!! Good choice! Good luck with her in her “forever home”.

Makes me wish we had a dog again. Then I get to thinking what would we do with the dog when we leave for
a day or two at the last minute? I guess it's better that we don't have a dog but I know you'll enjoy Nilla, she
looks like a real sweet one.

Or buy a Low Bounce 60 degree Taylormade MG 3 or 4 60 degree and have it bent 2 degrees, that’ll make it standard bounce 62. I did it and it’s perfect.

That’s the thing…. Nick still lives at home so we’re covered. If we travel to his shows his girlfriend lives here to care for them. But now we have a trip in April and I’m scared to death with all the dog meds and the fact that they’re old

mulegolf got any friends with dogs? Or maybe stop by a dog park and see about scratching dogs for a bit. Maybe volunteer at a humane society and walk/ play with dogs.

Nilla......perfect! She looks like a sweet heart ❤️. I love dogs 😍

Great ideas. There’s a no kill shelter by me that’s always looking for people to help walk dogs.

Yipsy

Walterjn

That's crack dealer advice and I'm all for it. 🤣 You know if you do that you're bringing at least one of them home with you.

We live in a very small town (just less than 2000) and there is no humane society or dog park. I don't know how far I'd have to drive to find one either, other than Sioux Falls, SD but that's an hour and a half away from me. The neighbors used to have a dog that would come over and see me from time to time but he died and the neighbors moved away. My son has a pit bull mix dog but he doesn't seem to like me and I leave him alone.

Walterjn

colej there's one by me, and I avoid the place only because I would find one that bonds with me and nobody else, and I'm not in a place to give a dog the best life.
I don't think it would be fair to the dog to be on the road for 12+ hours and stuck in the truck that long.

colej

Yipsy

That’s the point! 😂 we have two rescues at home. They’re getting up in the years and when they pass on, it will be two more rescues.

Walterjn

Yipsy only the humane society... I have more than a few people around me that have dogs. Those people are more than happy to let me spend 40 minutes scratching their dogs. Dog is happy they're getting attention, the people are happy because I'm helping she'd out the dog. I'm happy because I get to scratch a dog.
The BEST dogs are O.P. Other People's!! I get to scratch them, and not worry about feeding, cleaning up after them, vet bills.
