Issue I had with adoption agencies is that I never had a pet before and so they weren't too keen on giving me one. 

HRWA are not like that, they just want to ensure you know what you are getting into, Huskys are a unique breed and are extremely active

Malamutes are just huskies on steroids.  all my animals are sleeping because they live happy relaxing lifestyles. my dog gets two 8km walks a day.

 

Oh, and yeah, adopt one. there's so many out there.

Yea ok I'll have a look. House doesn't have an alfresco area. Ideally I'm hoping to get that up at least for work out door shade area for the dog.



Have a chat with Anne, as long as you know what your getting into you will be fine, they charge $400 for costs of desexing, microchips and worming etc

I don't have a very large house, in fact it is quite small. To make up for this, I take my dog for long walks and play with him at the park, which is perfectly fine. We'll play tug of war in the yard and sometimes we wrestle, he's 55kg...decent opponent.

No wonder your knees are shot 16km per day plus walking around at work [emoji15][emoji15]

So about that, I have some sort of Chondral Fissuring of both knees. Essentially, the Cartilage for both knees has deep cracks and fissures through it, some of it has also started peeling off of the bone, and there a small, loose bits of cartilage floating around the knee too.

Theres no surgical options, supposedly (Rheumatologist tells me that, so does my GP and Physio), so the best Cure is to Grind back the Cartilage with low-impact leg exercises. 
I had to buy a particular Exercise bike, that has a heavy flywheel (7kg), set the resistance up, so it's like pushing a weight, a slowly do that for 30 minutes a day. This not only builds muscle, but grinds back all my broken cartilage, and hopefully creates a new groove for my knee caps to sit in. Unfortunately it's a long, slow, painful process, slowly improving every week.

 

Option B is to take Anti inflammatory pills for the rest of my life, with monthly (expensive) Steroid Injections and fillers (with the risk of infection from each one).

You do get better sooner rather than later!
