Rofl, Yuki has just started to do this and its making me laugh every single time. Cloud has a weird habit of scratching his crate floor for about 10 minutes before he will settle down in his crate. Sometimes he will scratch around, come back out and lay on the couch, before going back in his crate and scratch for ten minutes and ultimately lay down. Yuki's new habit is to FREAK OUT every single time she hears Cloud scratching the floor of the crate and lay down right beside the crate and whine and cry and howl at him. Then if he goes to lay in another spot, she runs in front of him whining so that he can't lay there. Maybe shes in the 'mine' stage any other weird habits your guys' huskies have?
