Forum Rules | 1. Here we prefer clarity to agreement. Obviously not everyone is going to agree on a topic; here we prefer to talk out our differences in a respectful manner to ensure mutual understanding and respect. 2. Read the Stickies and Announcements. Each sub-forum may have specific rules which trump the Forum Rules in cases where there may be conflicting information. Read the rules of each board before you post so that you are clear on the expectations of the staff. 3. Respect ALL Staff and Admins. These people volunteer of their time and MUST be respected as well as their word adhered to. They are responsible for maintaining a free, open, clear and organized forum. Anyone found to be openly undermining any official ruling by a staff member will be warned. 4. Signatures: One picture only and no links. Images: To keep the forum looking neat and tidy, we ask that members insert just one picture only in their signatures. The picture should be no more than 200x500 pixels and should be of an appropriate subject, for example, your dogs and their names. Should you need assistance creating an appropriate signature, please PM an Admin and we would be happy to help! This is to ensure that signatures remain a welcome addition to our forum instead of a cumbersome distraction. Links: Hyperlinks in signatures--unless to a personal blog or photo stream of your dogs (like Flckr or Piscasa, for example)--are strictly prohibited. Please PM a staff member with any questions or concerns regarding this rule. |

| My mom said the other day that she doesn't think my husky is getting enough exercise. Kokoro lets me know when she wants to play or go out, she doesn;t leave me alone. The rest of the time throughout the day she just sleeps, which my mom said is her being bored. My question is if my dog isn't getting into stuff and doesn't seem wound up should i be worried? She goes on 3-4 walks a day and gets to run around for an hour everyday (this helps alot) and we play inside too. |

| Your mom sounds severely misinformed LOL. A tired husky is a happy husky. You have to worry when they're destroying things or causing mischief. If they're sleeping, count your blessings! _________________ www.itsahuskything.com It's a husky thing... you wouldn't understand. |

| I agree that a tired husky is a good husky, and them lying around is definitely NOT a sign they're bored! Sometimes on the weekends, my three seem upset if their naptime is missing! Especially Nanuk, as he follows his Mama everywhere, so as I go through the house cleaning or whatever, he follows, lies down close to wherever I may be, starts to nap, then kind of sighs when I go to another room, because he feels he MUST get up & follow me on to my next project. Such a heavy sigh! Sounds like things are just fine in your household...no worries! |

| my mom says the same thing. mine gets 1 hour a day at the dog park, and a goes outside in the yard a few times to play, but he's always sleeping. i think yours is getting enough exercise. if she is bored your house would be destroyed |

| A husky does not sleep when it is bored. When a husky is bored they will dig, scratch, destroy or just go hyper. When Logan doesn't get enough exercise he starts running up and down the hallway, dodging around the couch and table.
I know there are other dogs that lay around when they are bored, but huskies are definitely not one of those breeds. Kokoro sounds like she gets more exercise than Logan. He gets one short walk in the morning, and one longer walk/run at night. As well as the obvious playtime. |

| I'm glad that everyone agrees. That's what I told my mom, but I thought I would ask other husky owners just to be sure. thanks everyone for your responses! |
