Skittles was originally turned into the Fairbanks Alaska animal Shelter as a pet surrender - reason listed was family member allergic. I found her while living in Colorado on Petfinder.com

What drew me to her were her long legs and skinny build.  She looked sweet and happy almost smiling in her profile picture.   She was 10 months old when she entered the shelter.

After many days of negotiating with her foster home they agreed to let me adopt her because they just wanted her to have a good home.  It was young musher from Fairbanks who had been caring for her.
She was gracious enough to do all the

footwork at the shelter and vet and to prepare her to travel to Colorado.  Without her help I would not have been able to adopt this wonderful dog - I will always be grateful. 

In July Skittles arrived in Colorado and became our 5th Dog.  Skittles went on to become one of the greatest, fastest liveliest, friendliest and happy huskies we have!  The first time we put her in harness she only weighed 42 pounds and Paul thought she would be too weak to pull me on my roller-blades.  To giver her the idea of pulling Paul set off on his bike in front of us.  I waited until he got 100 feet down the path and gave her the cue to go.  She took off like a crazed animal in pursuit and we quickly caught Paul and PASSED Paul who was peddling down a slight hill @ 22 MPH!  She has continued to show amazing drive and spunk and is super FAST.......................and Friendly!
