Isn't it amazing how clean huskies can keep themselves? We went hiking this afternoon and Phantom was black from mud all the way up to her stomach and somehow by the end of the 10 minute drive home she was all white again. How do they do it? lol

Then again, if one didn't have to jump in every mud puddle or lay in the middle of a river just to take a sip of water, one wouldn't get so dirty.

It's a defense mechanism.

Like their looks, they need to be beautiful because they are such a pain in the ass.

Mine does it too. He always gets covered in dirt after playing at the dog park and he's perfectly white again about an hour after we get home. He just takes a nap and wakes up clean!

The saying is that Huskies are Self cleaning..

Just finished up with a duck chasing filled run along the creek. Yup, he's absolutely spotless now...

It's the least that they can do for us since we have to wear that self cleaning fur on a daily basis!

So true! Phantom is already in our bed, so maybe this is why she made sure she was clean. Since she wouldn't be allowed in it muddy.

hahaha River is the same way we were playing in the river all day and by the time we got to the car he was dry and clean again i wish he could teach my chihuahua that trick

It's true. I have so many real life friends who are assholes but they are pretty so I accept it. Huskies have learned this technique. "sorry I chewed through your wall, see my pretty blue eyes?"
