oh I love this! A German Shepherd/Husky sounds like Quite A Large Floof.
I have some friends who have a husky and he’s… a Lot of dog. Just. A Lot. He’s super great but dude rode in their car one (1) time and got dog hair on his winter coat and we had white dog hair all over his car and our house for an astonishingly long period of time. From one (1) ride in their car! Amazing. I was really spoiled by having a shorthair for so long.
(Not that we didn’t have a lot of animal hair in the house. We also had two horses, and Let Me Tell You what it’s like when you have two pale-colored horses and it’s springtime and you didn’t put blankets on them in winter. Holy shit. It looked like it had snowed in our mudroom.) (In retrospect maybe this also is why I never registered the dog as being smelly, because we also had horses and let me tell you something, horses sweat. They’ve got thick coats like dogs and then also they sweat. They smell wonderful, being herbivores who mostly have excellent mud-and-chewing-based hygiene, but they really do smell a lot.)
I wonder why she felt so protective of you? It must have been since you were the youngest?
FarmDog has a particular relationship with my sister– she follows her obsessively a lot of the time, including just around the house. if there’s a choice of being on a side of a door that’s going to be closed, she will pick the side my sister is on, basically every time. She’ll go do fun things with people, but if there’s ever a choice of being glued to my sister she’ll take that choice.
But it’s clearly not protective, she just really loves my sister and wishes she could merge her entire body with her. Dini is a deeply weird dog.
