It's time for Fan Friday!
Inside, because it's spitting rain out there!
Are you jumping for Fan Friday?

Is it Fan Friday?
It's time for Fan...
Once again, for those of you that are new and may not know,
Fan Friday is the day where we answer questions submitted by you guys, the fans!
Now, I have a question for you guys today!
Do you think, we should start taking our questions mainly from comments on this video?
When today's Fan Friday comes up, you guys can post your comments on this video.
The next Friday, all the questions will come from the comments left on this video.
What you think? Do you think we should switch it up and start doing it like that?
Currently, we get most of our questions from Instagram or Twitter or Facebook.
So, let us know what you guys think!
Yerra B. says,
I saw that Shelby was a picky eater in one of your vlogs. How do you get her to eat?
We actually usually put something on top of her food.
Whether it be the Stella and Chewy's meal mixers or some cereal or yogurt or a mashed banana.
We usually just add something that entices her to eat.
Some days she's really finicky and some days she eats her food like a champ.
Holly's Little Adventure wants to know,
Are you still doing agility with Shelby?
Shelby went to two classes but sadly in the advanced agility class,
only two dogs got or three dogs actually got signed up and most of them have missed class.
So, we're going to be signing her up for the next advanced course.
She took two classes but we're going to do a full six weeks course again when she has...
When we have more people to join the class.
Is Memphis doing agility?
Yeah! She's in a class right now.
I don't film a lot when I'm in class because there's other people there.
But, I'm hoping to invest in some more agility equipment.
So, I can start showing you guys the things we learned in the class on the video.
So, maybe you can start training your own dogs agility.
We might be doing some DIY, how to build some agility equipment and things like that.
We're going to wrestle?
We get asked this quite often and it always makes me laugh.
Amy Zobel wants to know,
Are Huskies hypoallergenic?
Are people that are allergic to dogs, can they have Huskies?
No! Huskies shed a lot! Like a lot!
So, if you are allergic to dog hair, you definitely don't want a Husky.
I don't know why people assume they are always hypoallergenic.
Considering they are one of the most shedding dogs out there.
Apparently, these girls are having crazy fan Friday today.
They're like, we've been stuck in the house all day because it's been spitting and sputtering rain.
We're just going to have feisty, couch wrestle fan Friday.
TNT The Lab says,
How do you get your dogs to hold still for photos?
A lot of the times we don't.
A lot of the times, I literally just have my camera set to take multiple shots per second.
We just take multiple shots.
But then, other times...
Shelby knows the stay command.
Memphis for some reason, could never get the word stay.
She actually knows stay by the word wait.
She kind of holds still when we say wait.
So, sometimes we have to use the command.
Oakley doesn't know any of those.
With Oakley, it's just take thirty million shots and hope one of them turns out good.
With Memphis and Shelby, it's either like I said, take a bunch of shots or use the stay or the wait command to get them to hold still.
It can be very frustrating when you're trying to get good shots because a lot of the times they do move.
But at the same time, you can get some really fun action shots when they are moving.
That's pretty much what we do.
It's a work in progress, even for us.
Ash Hicks wants to know,
When your dogs are at home, do they keep their collars off or on and what is the reason for whatever you do?
When we're home and they're inside with us, lately we've been taking their collars off.
Because you see how these two are playing?
Shelby actually got her tooth caught in Memphis'es collar.
Memphis likes to grab Shelby's collar and twist it.
So, we started taking their collars off so they could play inside and we didn't have to worry about it.
Especially when we were gone.
We usually would take their collars off when we were going to be gone for a while.
Just so they didn't snag them on anything.
But, I have them most of the time hanging by the back door.
If they go out in the yard without us, we put their collars on them.
Just in case.
They are micro chipped as well.
Like I said, we keep the collars hanging by the back door so it's really easy to put them on whenever we need to.
But that's pretty much the reasoning.
Because these two especially, were using the collars to grab hold of each other.
I was just afraid somebody was going to break a tooth.
Oh my goodness! That was your head!
Or bash their head on the table, apparently.
Did you even feel that?
Why are you guys so feisty?
Woo!
For the question everybody is going to ask.
How do you know when they are fighting?
This is not fighting you guys.
This is not fighting. This is playing.
How do I know when they are fighting?
Trust me! If you know your dogs well enough, you will know when it's a fight.
These two have never fought.
Memphis and Oakley...
I wouldn't call it a fight.
Oakley got Memphis on the nose one time when she was a puppy.
Memphis was up in her face.
Oakley had just been coming off of some drugs from the vet's office.
She had a dewclaw clipped really close.
They had to give her some medicine to make her really sleepy.
Oakley was kind of drugged up and Memphis was being a pain in the butt puppy.
It wasn't really a fight. It was more of a get the heck away from me.
Her teeth collided with her snout.
That's pretty much it.
Trust me! You'll know when they fight.
Shelby got into a fight with a dog in our backyard one time.
A friend of ours dog.
It's a whole different noise.
You'll know! You'll know!
You just got to pay attention to the signs.
Every dog...
I mean, they'll tell you that dogs will exhibit certain signs.
You have to know your dog though.
I can't really tell you guys how to tell when a dog is fighting and when a dog is not.
Because their noises are different.
Their vocal noises are different.
The biggest keys you want to look for...
If the fur on their back is up.
If you can tell they are really agitated.
If they start going after another dog and just not...
See? It looks like our dogs do.
They don't give up.
It's hard for me to explain.
It really is.
Maggie81603 wants to know,
Have the girls ever been on TV?
Shelby and Shiloh were on Bad Dog on Animal Planet.
Shelby was on a TV show called Bloopers.
There was a TV show...
Like a skit show.
Not a skit show, but a clip show in the U.K.
That they were on.
There's been a couple of different TV shows that they were on.
The biggest one was Bad Dog on Animal Planet.
I will put a link to that clip up in the cards above.
In case you guys haven't seen it.
Rougafang wants to know,
Where did the nickname Memphis Bell come from?
It's not her nickname. That's actually her name.
Memphis'es registered name is Highlanders Memphis Bell.
She's named after Memphis, Tennessee.
I thought she was a cute little southern bell.
So, we named her Highlanders Memphis Bell.
It's not really a nickname. It's actually her name.
We got some mail!
The first package is from Sprinkles!
With a stuffed animal and some treats for the dogs.
We got some postcards and a package from Ann.
It says, Happy Birthday Oakley!
With some treats and a dog toy.
Y'all can share it!
We got a letter from Mary with a couple of toys.
Oakley's gonna take that one.
And some hand made soap and chalk.
Thanks Mary!
And a card from Maureen for Oakley's birthday.
And a purple hedgehog toy that Maureen...
I think that one's a winner.
She immediately took it into her kennel.
We got two bags of treats from MyHoovesAndPaws.com
I'm not sure who else it's from.
That's all it said. There was no message.
Maybe it was directly from them.
We got a Happy Birthday Memphis!
And a Happy Birthday Shelby!
Shelby's birthday is August the 8th.
For those of you wondering.
We got a ways before Shelby's birthday.
I'm not sure who they're from though.
There was no names on them.
And then, we got a Happy Birthday Memphis from Danny.
With a PetSmart gift card.
Happy Birthday to Oakley from Jamie.
And a Happy Birthday to Oakley from Gabriela.
And another Happy Birthday to Oakley from Bryant.
And a Happy Birthday from Astrid to Oakley.
And a Happy Birthday from...
I think it says Leia?
Leia? I don't know.
I have a really hard time reading cursive.
I'll totally admit it.
We got a letter and some drawings from Annie.
Annie wants to know,
Are all the girls purebred?
Yes! Oakley had a DNA test done to be sure.
The DNA test says that she is.
She's not a Malamute.
She's actually a Husky.
How many Huskies have you had over the years?
We had a total of four.
Jamie also had one when he was growing up.
So, I guess he's had a total of five.
And we got a letter and some photos from...
I hope I say it right.
Machy?
She put an explanation on here.
So, hopefully it's right.
And some adorable photos.
Aren't they super cute Shelby?
Memphis is like,
I gotta get close to...
And we got some drawings and a card from Alice and Olivia.
And we got some drawings from Emily.
Emily wants to know,
Can Huskies live in hot places?
We've answered this many times before.
Yes! As long as you take the proper precautions for having them there.
Alright you guys!
That's all we have for Fan Friday today.
