Our pup has reached 10 weeks and for the most part loves his daily routine. I've noticed the past couple of days that when we walk him run him and play with him he lets us know when he's tired which is nice. Even so, when he's clearly wiped out from play time he will sit by the garden by our deck and "dig" while laying down. I put dig in quotations because since he's still a baby the digging hasn't become destructive..... Yet! I'm just confused whether he's doing it because he's curious or because he's bored? I feel like we play with him a ton! He doesn't really howl either and doesn't make messes in the house. He's actually an incredible dog...we lucked out...just wondering!

For a lot of dogs, when they get tired and hot they'll try to dig a hole to lay in because it will be cooler .

He's trying to tell you he's tuckered and too warm and wants water and air conditioning

Thank you! That's so funny because he does it when its snowing out! That makes sense tho!

Huskies and the northern breeds get hot even in the coldest of winters--those coats keep them very well insulated, so laying their bellies in cold snow sounds great to them!
