Sasha:
1) Greets most everyone with a double punch to the genitals
2) If we sleep too late she wakes us up in the morning in a similar fashion
3) Breaks up fights at the dog park (everyone just play nice….now…chase me!)
4) On the very rare occasion mommy gives her a hamburger from Wendys, she eats them one bite at a time, very nicely out of her hand (mimics how we eat them)
5) Will argue with you vocally and carry on a conversation if she doesn’t like the command she’s given
6) LOVES children. Instantly flops over on her back for kids
7) Thinks she’s a cat (couch surfing…plays by laying on her back and kicking like a cat does)
When playing catch she always tries to catch things with her paws
9) Her full name is Sashimi Triangle Ears (because we’re weird)
10) Likes to sit and hide under mommy’s desk while she's working


Bayleigh(still learning about her):
1) Doesn’t like where we leave things, so she will pick them up and move them around the house. She carried her pet bed from the 1st floor to the second floor, into our bedroom and plopped it onto our bed to use as a pillow (and it’s an extra large pet bed)
2) Does not like us charging our cellphones (she unplugs them from the wall and then leaves the chargers in the middle of the floor)
3) Likes to sit and hide under daddy’s desk while he's working

Stormy....

1. still hasn't learned to talk or howl (unless I get him started then it still isn't there)....he sounds like a squeak toy

2. hangs over the back of the couch while sitting on my should. Maybe he was a parrot at one point.

3. no matter what he is doing, if I turn the wolf cd on he will immediately go in front of the stereo and lay down.

4. still poops in the house but at least it is always on the tile next to the litter box so I can't complain that much.

5. runs to me every time I sneeze and barks. Not sure if he is saying bless you or thinks I'm barking at him.

6. gets very mad when the his baby sitter's son spends the night at his grandparents instead of with him. He sits at the door waiting for me like a mad child with his harness on.

7. loves going places, but hates putting his harness on.

8. digs in boxes and buries his toys. I have a box that I cut stripes of fleece with knots in it. He loves it.

9. pounces toys like a fox attacking a mouse in snow.

10. has silent conversations with a wooden wolf pup statue that I have sitting next to the fireplace. He also stares eerily up at the shelf that has the ashes of my first two huskies. That sometimes spooks me out.

Oh I just came across this. Sounds like so much fun!

1) Ceylan (Turkish for beautiful eyes/doe eyes) gave her a Turkish name because she was born in Turkey.

2) As a puppy she hated the water, we tried to play with her and the hose and she yelped like we were murdering her. Now she loves it!

3) LOVES the laser pointer. She knows that we have to control it. Knows the sound when we pick it up, and if you put it on the floor she will pick it up and toss it to you. Oh she also loves shadows and reflections! She goes nuts.

4) Tricks: Sit, down, paw and other paw, speak (bark), howl, and whisper (yes whisper, no sound just moves her mouth), and crawl. Working on some more tricks.

5) She just knows when we are going to the dog park! This is basically the only time she will talk to you. I will go upstairs to get dressed and she will whine and talk to me saying move faster. She also does this in the car! Oh and the back window behind the driver has to be down!

6) If she wants attention or wants to play she will whine, paw at you, nibble on your hands, and/or go get her toy and put it in your lap.

7) When in the shower she will whine until you get out and if the door is closed she will breath heavily under the door (we call her our Darth Vader), and has to do a ritual of licking the water off my feet and legs, once she is done she turns and leaves.

Unusual Husky thing: I never really have to walk her on a leash. She goes straight to the car and the gate for the dog park. Rarely when at home (we live in an apartment right now) she will take off across the street to greet our friend Joe. * I hate this because the people here drive so fast*

9) Once in a while she will aggravate Chloe our 14yr old Chihuahua, who has no teeth and when Chloe goes to attack her she will just let her grab at her cheeks. SMH it is so funny.

10) Ceylan was supposed to be my husbands dog, but has decided that she is a momma's girl. Normally when I go to bed she will sleep at my feet, but here recently she has decided that she has to be right on top of me, or laying across my husband's pillows with her head on my pillow. This goes for the couch too!

~ I am a small woman of like 90lbs and she is a large Sib of like 60lbs, she just kills me sometimes lol~

Just religiously read through every post - love it - if only i could have this sort of dedication to my work! Can't wait till i bring Luka home now, especially if he ends up having half the personality that any of your dogs have!

Best thread ever. So many of your huskies do what mine does too!

Okay here goes for Jack:

1. He loves to say I love you. Ever since it got trained into him, ANYTIME he is ignored, wants something, etc he says it expecting you to give him what he wants.

2. He loves peanut butter. He hated it at first, now he freaks out over it.

3. He likes cashews - who knows why.

4. He likes to slap. When he is excited, playful, etc he will slap with his paws. If i slap him on the snout to correct him - he slaps back.

5. He has a major attitude - If he gets upset he ignores me, throws a fit, whines.

6. He is obsessed with socks - If he finds a sock - it's the end.

7. If I sit on the couch he puts his chin on my leg and expects a response ... or else.

8. He likes ice. He will pull ice cubes out of a bowl of water, throw them on the floor and then eat them.

9. He consumes any and every bug he finds - geckos included.

10. He likes to cheap on lawn chairs.

1. Tobin loves peanut butter...he will be outside and hear me open the jar from in the house....I swear he knows when I have the peanut butter out.

2. He plays with his raw hide bone and tosses it up in the air and catches it himself.

3. When we eat dinner he will get under the table and lay his head in my lap.

4. When he drinks water he thinks he has to gulp it all down at once, then gags himself after he is done, but nothing ever comes back up.

5. He loves to lay on his back with all four legs in the air like he is playing dead.

6. He will randomly walk into the room you are in and start howling at you for no reason other than he wants attention.

7. If he is enjoying the weather outside and you call him to come in he will turn his back to you like he can't hear you.

8. He loves to lick you in the face so much that he trys to pry your mouth open with his tongue and clean the inside of your mouth....MY husband thinks that is so gross..but it is so funny.

9. He loves to lay low on the floor and pop up like a rubber band to attack you when he is playing.

10. Last but not least.....He loves to lay in the recliner and watch t.v.

1. Keeonah hates stairs. If there are 5 or less she says "EFF THAT!" and jumps them.

2. I wrestle with her all the time. Once she gets all riled up she does what I call the BTR - Butt Tuck Run. She will probably do about 10 laps around my room, then I let her out into the back yard and she does 5 out there, at full speed, then sprints back to my room and jumps in her bed and lays down like nothing ever happened!

3. When I am half asleep and she thinks it's play time, she will jump up on me, woo woo, lick my face until she gets a response, then she runs and jumps in her bed, like it's home base. She does this anywhere from 1-5 times until I'm up lol

4. When my roommates GSD is hanging out with us, they play pretty rough, but when the chihuahua is around, she just kinda half-pounces. You can tell she's trying to play really soft and it's adorable! Also she will take her rawhide and go set it at Iris' (the gsd) feet, like an olive branch gesture, but as soon as Iris make a move she snatches it back up and runs away with it like "ha, yeah right! Got you!"

5. When she is tired and trying to get settled in, she will rotate around her five different sleeping spots. I have a couch in my room, so it's either in her special spot on the couch, under the overhang of the couch's arm, only on the right side, never the left side, on my bed, in her bed, or right in the middle of the floor. I have never seen her sleep anywhere else lol

6. I have her trained to back up on command. And I also make her perform a couple commands before she can eat her food. When she backs up for a treat, she kinda just takes 3 or so steps backwards, but when it's for her food, she launches backward, getting like a foot and a half of air! It's hilarious

7. Normally, when she lays on my bed, it's down toward the foot of my bed, but when my girlfriend is over and we are in bed, she will strategically positions herself right between us and give a nice big streeeeetch as if to say "hey, watch out, he's mine" lol

8. She doesn't really watch t.v., but she is keenly aware of when a dog is on a youtube video, or on the t.v. and she just stares at it, and tilts her head, like "I hear it, it's right there, but it's not.."

9. When all the dogs are in the living room laying down (we have 5 including her, she will creep around them, and try to put herself right in the middle of the pile of dogs. Pack oriented much?!

10. My favorite thing. When I'm sitting at the computer desk like right now, and she wants a little lovin', she walks up and rests her head on my thigh, and looks up at me like "pweeeasssee love on me". I'm a dude and it makes me melt lol.

I didn't think I'd be able to come up with 10 things! but it was wayyy easier than I thought ). Love my girl!

I LOVE THIS! Kya does the same thing. She will look at you like you are insane!

I love this thread!! All of the weird things that I thought were just quirks of Ava's? Apparently they're husky traits!

ZOOMIES!! We call those actions zoomies. I think most of the huskies on this site get them.

Yes, but that's the best description of zoomies I've seen!
Buck Tuck Run.
Bodhi is getting zoomies in the first pix in my sig.
Ears back; tail under; body curved into a "C".
He becomes a "cartoon rocket dog" when he gets them.

Allie does this to me every morning! I get up early for school but my boyfriend works second shift so he needs to sleep longer and she stays in bed with him and looks at me like I'm nuts.

Kiara:

I'm a little nervous for your hedgehog lol. If you have a hedgehog, and a toy that looks like one, can a dog distinguish a difference? <--- not a rhetorical question lol. It's the same reason I don't get toys made to look like animals. I really don't want to encourage prey drive

We actually got the stuffed hedgie as a joke gift for Christmas from my parents and she stole it off the counter. I had thought the same thing and have tried to hide it from her but she gets really upset and can tell she's missing him. lol. She has taken care of it like it's her little baby ever since. She doesn't literally try to eat the real hedgie, she just plays around with him and gets poked a bit when she does. I don't think she quite puts it together that if you nuzzle/try to play with the hedgie he doesn't play like doggies do.

I always wondered this as well. A friend got Kya a white toy that looked EXACTLY like our siamese cat when she shook it. I took it away from her and got rid of it because it gave us a heart attack everytime she played with it.

luckily our hedgie is an albino and the stuffed one is the salt and pepper! lol. no confusion here thankfully. I figure if she cares so much for the stuffed one the real one is okay, she just wants to play.

Kya does this with the cats, every one of them! It's like she is chewing his scalp LOL! She leaves him SLOBBERED, but they all go looking for it!

Lol thats so funny. I guess she thinks he's too dirty.

1) Chase does not chew up anything while in the house.... outside he LOVES to chew water hoses into tiny little pieces.
2) He will not climb up on the bed unless I make him... if left inside and he gets the bedroom door open he goes straight to my side of the bed and lays on my pillow.
3) He will wake up from a dead sleep to follow me all around the house (and only me)
4) Every morning when I leave for work I get "scolded" and when I come home he acts like he hasn't seen me in years.
5) When I am not home he is all over my boyfriend, when I come home he completely ignores him
6) He DOES NOT like weekends or when school is out (I'm a teacher) because I stay up later and it throws off his bedtime schedule lol
7) In the morning when I let him out to go potty and he comes back in he will run to the chair my boyfriend is sitting in and assume the position for a belly rub.
He has all the old men walkers in the neighborhood wrapped around his paws.... he doesn't bark and just whines to be pet and they all adore him.
9) He thinks he's humane and should not have to eat dog food... he won't grab from your plate or hand unless you tell him he's ok but he will stare you down until you share.
10) He was born at the humane society where his mother was sent as a stray and spent the first 3 months of his life there until we adopted him. He's the best dog I've EVER had.
