Hello all! I have been a member for quite awhile but haven’t posted in a very long time. Just thought I would throw a funny story out there to those who can understand what living with a husky can be like, the good, the bad and the unbelievable! So we have a 6yr old Copper Pinto (just means she’s light red with a full white collar with no breaks) named Zero. Her “big girl” name as our kids call it is “Seabrook’s Siberian Sub Zero”. As with most huskies, she demands as much attention and interaction as she can get and is a full blown princess in her own mind. She’s an only child as our kids are all grown and she  has developed many games and pastimes to entertain herself, one of which is knocking her tennis balls (her favorite possessions) behind the TV stand so she can spend the next hour trying to retrieve them. She occasionally gets in trouble because she will get caught up in the TV cords and unplug everything. It’s currently Saturday and my dear husband is glued to his college football games. She has spent the last hour trying to get his attention and has been summarily ignored so she is simply walking around, giving him the “evil eye” and grumbling and complaining under her breath (this is common behavior for her, she is highly opinionated and has no trouble voicing that opinion). However, most will say that her next move was purely coincidence or me inferring human behavior to an animal BUT, I watched her walk over to the TV stand (where my husband is watching the game), stare at him while voicing her low growl frustration with him, turn back to the outlet, raise her right paw and knock the plug out of the outlet, turning the whole TV, cable box, etc. off. My husband looks at her and exclaims “What the hell Zero! It’s gonna take 20 freakin’ minutes to reboot and ge the game back!” She then looks at him, drops her head into a “just try me” growl for about 3 seconds, turns around and walks away. My husband is now messing with the remotes and grumbling various four letter words, she is now outside laying in the sun and I am laughing so hard I can barely write this. . Zero - 1, husband - 0. Better than any football game I’ve watched all month!

"She's only a dog, she can't be that smart!" Yeh, well, just watch the interplay. Love it!!!

Coincidence? I think not

She sounds like she has a similar attitude to my female. lol. She gets what she wants...one way or another.
