It's time long past to get to the bottom of this Sherpa/huskie companion man thing

Last edited Sat Dec 25, 2021, 04:29 PM - Edit history (1)

As I've said, I'm enrolled in The University of YouTube, as is my kid/Yorkie, and we've seen tons of videos of this Huskie and the man/companion, who seem to be the only ones in their lives. Like, the man seems to have a daughter whom the huskie might or might not like, yet, the dog gets all say-so and gets presents from internet viewers, and the man and the dog run around everywhere in a van with stair steps for the dog, who is perfectly limber enough to jump in and out of the van on his own, and the man seems to have no human relations except a "biscuit lady" and the daughter, neither of whom live with him and who are not in most of the videos, only visited by him and Sherpa the husky occasionally.

What's going on here? The dude doesn't seem to have a job, perhaps only from these videos. I mean, it's - uh, lovely? ain't it? Just what's the deal?!

And he is alleged to have nipped (supposedly BIT) the girl clipping his nails. I said, "No he didn't!1" and the young dude and girl were taken aback, didn't even think about saying, "Uh, sir, you weren't here!1"

I said, "Don't put that in his record!1"

7. The family with young kids who passed him to me had named him "Oreo"

obviously because black/white.

The bill of sale had his name as "Lucky," so I went with that.

Then the little kids pouted, "His name is OREO!1"

And I said, "He's not a COOKIE!1"


Leave it to me to quarrel with children!

I know nothing about cats/Siamese. My mother prejudiced us against cats. And in later life I've thought it's icky that they lick themselves - like, if you pet them, they've got saliva all over themselves - *yuck* I say!1

Not that our dogs don't do licking in places.

Deeply bond with you and they are very,very talky.
And loud. I bet if you
spent time and bonded with a cat it would steal your heart. So many anti cat people when they actually live with a cat fall in love with cats.

Btw cat spit doesn't stink like dog spit does. Cats smell wonderful they have light scent gently sweet almost floral. I sniff my cat Othello on purpose because he smells so good.

Liking how your cat smells?

I guess dog people assume many things about cats. Some of them are wrong.

Cat people are different than dog people.

A cat trusting you is a big deal to cat people ,you earn thier trust. When a cat loves and trusts you its special. You know,they could decide to not trust you if they want to. You dont own a cat.They own you.


Dogs automatically trust you since you are the pack leader. It is an automatic thing.

But a dog that was hurt by bad people are traumatized . So you have to be there for them and once they heal they automatically love you.

Othello literally saved my life. I owe him a solid.

some of his vids have views in the millions and hundreds of thousands. if he is allowing youtube to run ads, he could get almost $2500 from the video you posted here.
