Huskies are escape artists.................I have a 10 year old (which is why my neighbour came to me, he thought it was mine) I've been lucky with mine, I think he knows how good he has it, because he has never tried to escape. I spoil him rotten! He gets just about what ever he wants....(table scraps) YEAH, I KNOW~ Hubby has already harrassed me about it. But I would rather he live 12-15 HAPPY years, than 15-20 years eating dried sawdust dog food!!!!! Hell, he gets a nice big raw steak on his birthday!
