My Girl Salem

This is my Child, my yes very spoiled dog Salem... she is a mix of a chocolate lab and husky. She has the personality of both. How amazingly true that your dog can be your best friend. Salem is one that has always been there for me. She knows when I am happy... she gets extra excited, if I'm sick or sad, she comes and cuddles with me.

She is a heck of alot of fun as she loves to do so many things you would not see most dogs do... such as ride on jetskis, goes tubing, kayaking, snowshoeing, boating... loves to swim and ride in cars.
We would like to say she comes everywhere with us, but this is where the Husky side of her comes in she is not always the best listener, and does not get along with other dogs very well. She is very protective of us, but is the most loving and friendliest dog you could ever meet. She loves people, especially the boys... and loves little kids. She will lick them forever! ;)
Her favorite place to go is to "grandma and grandpa's" house (my parents) to run free on the farm, dig for moles and get dirty. Also loves our lake cabin on Roosevelt, where she swims alot and runs around the woods and beach... and then plays with us on our toys. :)
This picture cracks me up... captured moment of her shaking... so freakish! haha
She quite the show off sometimes.... she knows she's FAST and will show that to you to what I call the "Happy Run", she will just randomly take off and run as fast as she can around in circles. Always makes me laugh!
She the dominate dog... she doesn't always get along with other dogs... but she warms up to them eventually. Then she can be pretty playful on her own terms... stubborn.

Salem loves to talk... anytime you say "Hellooooooooo" she will start hollowing or " I Love YOuuuuuuuuu" she loves to talk back... it quite incredible how smart they are! :)

She is the most emotional dog I've ever recall... she pouts and crys whenever we leave the house... she will not take a cookie or anything untill we come back home, I think it's kind of cute, but it gets me everytime that I feel bad. She is sensitive to loud crackle noises and banging... like firecrackers. She will shake for hours literally. Getting her to calm down is always impossible. :( sad. But she is a lover, and if you ever meet her, she is one who will make you smile! She is my best friend, and I'm proud of her. I have enjoyed bragging about her....and can definitely say she has got me wrapped around her little paw! :)
