ravencallscrowsThe weird dream gnome must be working overtime of late. I know of a few people who have had strange dreams quite recently. Mine's probably not weird enough to really merit inclusion- no earthquakes, sections of town disintegrating, waking up in someone else's dream or the like, but since remembered dreams are a rarity for me, i'm going to anyway- besides, there was something incredibly cute about part of it.
My domestic situation was unchanged, except that there weren't any cats in the house. Instead, they'd been replaced by dogs- five of them. Four of the dogs were miniature- just like regular dogs, but literal handfuls- three golden retrievers and a husky (i think a Siberian, but possibly a Russo-European Laika); the fifth was a cocker spaniel puppy, of normal size for spaniel puppies.
The puppy was annoyed that these other dogs, slightly smaller than it was, were so much more mature, and didn't want to play all the time. As for the retrievers, they were very typical in every way except for their size- about as intelligent as a box of rocks, but sweet, loving dogs. The husky was incredibly smart. Its general role seemed to be the finder of lost household items- anyone would lose something this dog would find- it'd go there, and bark- this being the only time the dog would bark, after finding something which it had been specifically asked to locate.
I think i want dogs now. At least the husky. Perhaps a spitz or samoyed, but preferably in the size it was in the dream. Don't know what else was happening in the dream- it wasn't much past this when i got awakened by a little boy, announcing that it was ten o'clock.

Date: 2002-12-23 06:02 pm (UTC)Huskies are great but need a lot of room to run and a lot of attention. They don't really start getting out of the hyper "puppy" stage until they are at least three sometimes 4 years old. And they have a really annoying bark. They don't bark a lot but when they do it could be termed as "yappy". And believe you me, Huskies are not as intelligent as they look...at least mine isn't...but he's loyal and he gazes at me with complete and utter adoration. (funny since he was *supposed* to be my husband's dog.) Huskies don't get all that big actually. Lakota is only about 55 or 60 lbs. They do shed a lot but only twice a year. In the summer, I could make another dog from the fur I get off of him. After he's completed his summer shed, he looks gaunt without all his under-fur. Because of his coloring (he's red and white and not yet old enough for his markings to have become pronounced yet) and his eye color (they are mostly yellow laced with some icy blue) after he's shed, he looks quite a bit like a wolf.
And because they are bred to run, Huskies are just one of those dogs that, no matter how well trained, you can never trust off a leash. But they are still great dogs. I love my Lakota.
