Husky Freaks Out With Excitement When Baby Sister Finally Decides to Pet Her After 10 Months originally appeared on Parade Pets. Adjusting to a new baby in the household is no easy task — it doesn't matter if you're new parents getting into the flow of a major life change, or the family pet getting used to having a baby in the house. Over time, though, so many parents get to witness the beautiful bond that so many dogs have with their human siblings, even if it takes a little while for that bond to get started. Case in point: The sweet relationship unfolding between the Husky in the video below and her 10 month old baby sister. It may have taken her a little while to gather the bravery to pet her dog, but once she does, it's easy to see she already has her dog wrapped around her tiny baby finger! Dog and human mom @justlifewithstef shared this adorable footage on TikTok that included the very first time that her daughter decided she was finally ready to pet her dog, Stormy. Baby girl listened to mama's instructions to use "gentle hands" perfectly, and it seems like this was a moment Stormy was really looking forward to, because the moment she felt her baby sister's hands on her fur, she flopped over in sheer joy. These two are so sweet together, and it's clear that the time Mom has spent trying to show her daughter the right way to interact with dogs has truly paid off. It probably helps that Stormy is such a sweetheart, too!Commenters can't get enough of these two together, and it's easy to see why — this Husky is absolutely in love with her baby! "Your dog has been waiting for this day!" one commenter wrote. Another shared a comment from Stormy's perspective: "Mom, it's happening! Look!" "You need to be really careful here with babies and dogs. His body language indicates that he's about to claim her as his own and never leave her side," another wrote, adding a winking emoji. Huskies might be big, playful, busy dogs, but they can also be so sweet, and this moment is a prime example of that quality. It seems like this is just the beginning of a beautiful friendship between these two! 🐶🐾🐾 Husky Freaks Out With Excitement When Baby Sister Finally Decides to Pet Her After 10 Months first appeared on Parade Pets on Jun 10, 2025 This story was originally reported by Parade Pets on Jun 10, 2025, where it first appeared.

Talking crops' progress and the politics of tillage with IGGG
Irish Grain Growers' Group (IGGG) co-secretary Clive Carter is confident that his winter cereal crops have significant yield potential. According to Carter, this is a direct result of the tremendous start the crops received last autumn and the exceptional early spring growing conditions. The barley was sown out in mid-October and the oats a week later A mix of winter seed barley and gluten free winter oats is grown on the Carter farm, which comprises part of the former National Ploughing Championships' site at Ratheniska in Co. Laois. Carler told Agriland: 'This year we are growing a crop of Orcade winter barley: Enya is the winter oat option. 'Assuming the weather holds, we should be cutting barley around the middle of July. That's about a week earlier than would normally be the case. 'Again, weather permitting, our hopes are high that winter crops will yield well this year.' But it is a slightly different story where spring cereals are concerned. Clive is growing Husky as a spring gluten-free oat option, with Planet the malting barley variety used this year. He explained: 'The spring oats struggled during the recent dry spell. 'We are farming light land, which can dry out quite quickly. The yield potential of the oats was significantly impacted by the total lack of rain during the month of May. 'But we won't know the actual scale of the yield reduction until harvest time.' From an agronomy perspective, the spring crops will receive their final fungicide spray over the coming days. After that it is a case of seeing what the final harvest delivers. The politics of tillage IGGG's other co-secretary, Bobby Miller, was a recent visitor to the Carter farm. Miller told Agriland: 'Grain markets remain in the doldrums. 'Current grower prices are back at 1984 levels, which is totally unacceptable.' Miller acknowledged that winter crops continue to look well. However, the economic outlook for Irish tillage farmers remains exceptionally challenging. 'From a winter cereals' perspective, two of the three factors that combine to deliver true sustainability for grain growers have been in play up to this point: high yield potential and good weather,' he said. 'However, the missing factor is good prices. And the market outlook for the coming harvest is extremely bleak.' IGGG wants to see Irish cereal growers working in partnership with livestock farmers, grain merchants, and feed merchants to deliver equitable returns for all parties involved. Fast maturing winter oats on the Co. Laois farm of Clive Carter At the heart of this envisaged arrangement is a commitment to use Irish grain in ways that deliver sustainable prices for everyone growing and utilising homegrown cereals. According to Miller: 'Grain imports continue to increase. The latest figures would indicate that up to five million tonnes of grains and feed materials are imported into this country on an annual basis. 'A high percentage of these materials are coming from countries outside the European Union. In other words they are grown to standards that would not be permitted of Irish farmers.' Miller noted that genetically modified (GM) crops are also included within these imports. 'And, again, these are crops are not allowed to be grown in Europe,' he said. 'Not for one minute would Grain Growers countenance the production of GM crops in this country. 'However, Irish tillage farmers want a level playing field – this is only right and proper. And there is no reason why the Irish government cannot use tax incentives to help make this happen.' Sustainable tillage farming Miller said that ensuring the economic sustainability of the tillage sector will assist it in improving its sustainability in terms of environmental measures. 'If grain growers are making sustainable returns, then the target contained within the National Climate Action Plan can be met,' Miller stated. 'It envisages the expansion of the tillage sector to 400,000ha by 2030. However, if the crops' sector remains in the doldrums, all of this is just a pipe dream.' Turning to the current politics of tillage farming, the two IGGG representatives made a number of fundamental points. According to Clive Carter, the Food Vision Tillage Group has not met since last August. He stressed: 'This is disappointing, as has been the government's lack of response to the Tillage Vision Group report. 'Yes, we have seen moves made on the issue of noxious weeds. But even here, the outcomes to date have been underwhelming. 'Blackgrass has been officially declared a noxious weed. However, little or no checking of straw consignments coming in from England takes place at Irish ports. 'Imported straw and machinery continue to represent the most important sources of Blackgrass contamination impacting on this country.' Meanwhile, Bobby Miller pointed to the pre-election promises made to tillage farmers by the two main parties in the current government. Miller said: 'Both Fianna Fáil and Fine Gael promised an additional €300 million of support to the tillage sector during the lifetime of the current parliament. 'This works out at €60 million per annum. But, as yet, we have heard nothing about the ways in which this extra support funding will be spent.' IGGG is also campaigning to have the annual funding made available for the Straw Incorporation Measures to be increased from the current €10 million per annum threshold up to €15 million Clive Carter added: 'We believe there is scope to make this happen during the lifetime of the current CAP.' IGGG crops walk IGGG will host a crops walk on the farm of the Miller family at Rathcrea, Vicarstown, Co. Laois on Friday, 13 June. Events get underway at 10:45a.m. The guest speaker at the event will be Fianna Fáil MEP, Barry Cowan.

Husky's Epic Confusion Over Pool Cover Is Pure Comedy Gold
Husky's Epic Confusion Over Pool Cover Is Pure Comedy Gold originally appeared on Parade Pets. Huskies are an incredibly expressive breed. Between their animated facial expressions and soulful howls, they always let you know exactly what they're thinking. They're also intelligent and endlessly curious, so if something doesn't make sense, they'll investigate until it does. For this inquisitive Husky, the pool cover posed quite the conundrum. It looked like water, smelled like water, and even felt like water under her paws. But… why couldn't she swim? Watch her hilarious mix of confusion and excitement in this adorable video from @snowdogsvlogs: Hold everything! What kind of witchcraft water is this? That's probably what Eleanor the Husky thought as she darted over the covered swimming pool. Though puzzled at first, she certainly didn't let the strange surface dampen her fun. In fact, her confusion quickly turned to joy as she realized how bouncy and entertaining this 'unwet' water could be. Her parents were wise to choose a dog-safe pool cover that can hold up to 800 pounds, which turned out to be perfect for this kind of spirited summer testing. While Huskies aren't natural swimmers like Newfoundlands or Retrievers, many enjoy water play, especially in warmer months when their thick double coats make them prone to overheating. As described by the American Kennel Club, early positive exposure and supervision are key, especially since some Huskies can be wary of the water. While Eleanor might not be able to take the plunge yet, she's clearly down for the pre-game warm-up. Fans loved her dramatic display. Viewer @elainethewhipadore quipped, 'Fluff this weird water! Where's the splashy-splashy?' @sig_the_siberian joked, 'Omg like a water bed from the 90s lol.' It certainly looks that way! And someone else chimed in, 'Three minutes until she digs her way in.' Which is why she's under supervision. 🐶SIGN UP to get 'pawsitivity' delivered right to your inbox with inspiring & entertaining stories about our furry & feathered friends🐾🐾 Thankfully, as shared in a video from June 2, the pool is now officially open, and Eleanor was the first pup to jump in and celebrate. See her leap into the fun with her Husky siblings: Whether she's bouncing, digging, or diving in, one thing's sure: Eleanor is ready for summer in her uniquely Husky way. And moments like these help us all get in the spirit!

Man gets 4 months RI after pet Husky bites neighbour in lift
Mumbai: A 40-year-old man from Worli has been sentenced to four months rigorous imprisonment after his pet dog, a Husky, bit his neighbour in an apartment lift. The man was convicted on charges of voluntarily causing hurt and negligent conduct with an animal. Tired of too many ads? go ad free now After scrutinising CCTV footage, judicial first class magistrate Suhas P Bhosale said he would not grant the accused, Rishab Patel, "too much leniency". "The way in which the accused dragged his pet inside the lift as is visible from CCTV footage shows that he is not compassionate towards his own pet. He did not care about the informant, his son and dragged his own pet inside the act…resulted in injury..," he said. T he victim, Ramik Shah, who resides in Alfa Apartment at Worli, was on his way down from the fourth floor with his one-and-a-half-year-old son and domestic help. When the lift stopped on the third floor, his neighbour, the accused, was standing with his pet Husky. Shah requested him to wait, explaining his son was afraid of dogs. However, Patel allegedly ignored the request and did not even allow them to exit the lift. He dragged his dog in, and it ended up biting Shah on his left forearm. Following the incident, Shah, his son, and the help exited the lift, but the accused allegedly followed them, challenging Shah to "do whatever he wanted to do." Shah subsequently sought treatment and filed a complaint with Worli police. In the trial, the prosecution presented oral evidence from Shah and his help, Anuj Singh, who testified that Patel forcefully brought his dog into the lift despite requests. Tired of too many ads? go ad free now A medical officer also deposed, confirming bite marks on Shah's left wrist. CCTV footage from outside the lift was presented as circumstantial evidence. While not showing what transpired in the lift, it corroborated events leading up to and immediately following the bite. The defence argued inconsistencies in the prosecution's evidence, including the delay between the incident and medical treatment, and the initial lack of administration of anti-rabies vaccine for the victim. They also questioned collection of CCTV footage. However, the magistrate found statements by Shah and Singh to be consistent and unwavering. Refuting the suggestion that Singh was an interested witness as he was employed by Shah, the magistrate said, "Only because the witness is servant of first informant we cannot brush aside his evidence if it is otherwise trustworthy." The court concluded that the accused's actions were "voluntarily" as he knew or had reason to believe his actions could cause harm.
