RickyT Posted August 12, 2012 Report Share Posted August 12, 2012 My Husky Tundra seems to be a bit of a couch potato, even now he is just sprawled out on the floor in a cool room with no desire to move. He has been to the vet several times and he is in perfect health. I am new to huskies and did my research and read all about husky energy and need to exercise but I have seen none of it. My question is, Does the summer heat affect energy levels. I live in Connecticut and the summer has averaged Mid 80's Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MollynDiesel Posted August 12, 2012 Report Share Posted August 12, 2012 I would say yeah heat affects them. Just like it does with people really. No one wants to move about alot if its hot Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Kellyanne Posted August 12, 2012 Report Share Posted August 12, 2012 Hannah is the same way. She is laying on the couch downstairs and we can't even get her to come upstairs even with a treat. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Removed #5 Posted August 12, 2012 Report Share Posted August 12, 2012 You can check my current temperature in my sig block. My two play around till about 8:00 AM when the temp hits the low 80's and then are "out of it" til after sundown - about 9:00 PM. It looks like I have two rugs that move around from cool place to cool place as the day goes on. Right now Sasha's behind me so that the fan's hitting her as well as me. Oh, I have no air so my current temp is what I live with! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rosemary Posted August 12, 2012 Report Share Posted August 12, 2012 Ozzy & Micah are very laid back huskies - they have their moments early morning and late afternoon when they are active, but sleep and just chill during most of the day - winter and summer.

Mazz Posted August 12, 2012 Report Share Posted August 12, 2012 Same here. Temperature goes up, activity level goes down. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nfored Posted August 12, 2012 Report Share Posted August 12, 2012 My pup spends 70% of its day doing nothing sleeping on the vent in the living room, sleeping with its head inside the vent in the kitchen or sleeping on top of his bag of food. however when he is not sleeping he is on a terror streak trying to beat up kyser, and when khan gets the zoomies its so funny he is like a bolt of lightning running full speed from the entry room to the living room, jumping and bouncing off the sofa on his way back to the entry room. Watching him bounce off the sofa like a Lakers rebound is so funny, especially if your are sleeping or sitting on the sofa when it happens.

Erinc Posted August 13, 2012 Report Share Posted August 13, 2012 In our household, the heat brings peaceful times lol! Luka is very chilled out when its even a little bit warm, he'll happily sleep all day! When winter finally gets here however, thats when all the "fun" starts!

Elyse Posted August 13, 2012 Report Share Posted August 13, 2012 Suka's laid back in the summer and the winter! (I'd say he's more lazy in the winter, because he doesn't like the cold. Weird husky!!!) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cleo Posted August 15, 2012 Report Share Posted August 15, 2012 And I thought I had a weird husky! Cleo is SO lazy, she does not want to move after she wakes up in the morning! After 8 hours of sleep, I have to drag her out for to potty and she's only 3 months old! It's like she stretches her bladder in her sleep LOL Even when she's playing with a toy, and it moves out of her reach, she won't stand up to get the toy, if she's laying on her side, she'll crawl towards it while still laying on her side!

Cleo loves the vent as well, in fact if the air-con is off, she'll whine and nip and jump on the bed until I turn it on again!! She also seems to prefer my bathroom to her crate since the tiles are cooler! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ahny Posted August 25, 2012 Report Share Posted August 25, 2012 Blue finds the only cross breeze in the house, brings over him favorite blanket and teddy and sleeps, all day everyday until its bedtime, then he goes up stairs, crawls into bed and sleeps all night. It just too hot for anything else, and I'm okai with that. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
simhauu Posted August 25, 2012 Report Share Posted August 25, 2012 Ghost would sleep through most of the days in May-June. Then he got accustomed to the weather. Now he doesn't sleep as much but that's probably because of his sex drive which wants him to go out and go after any female (me included).
