Jake photo

I took this photo a little while back but I think it is just so cute that I wanted to share. My roommate, Angela, and I are trying to get Jake (the husky) off the couch now which is an interesting challenge but hopefully we will be able to accomplish that before the weather gets to warm and he starts shedding. Angela bought a bed for him that stays in the living room but it has turned out to be more loved by the cats as I can only remember one time that he really slept on it without being persuaded.

It is interesting to live in a small house with 5 animals. I wouldn't have so many animals myself in such a small house at least, especially with such a big dog that doesn't like to stay outside, Jake was just too spoiled with his previous owner and he doesn't have free rein of the yard since there is no fence on the side of the house to keep him in the backyard. If we leave him outside he starts yodeling (yes I said yodeling), he can howl, but like a number of huskies he knows how to yodel. When we leave him all alone in the house he will yodel and you can here him as you get into your car. He also likes to keep the cats from fighting by running through the hint of a fight. Also he is a baby which is a good thing and a bad thing it is good because he is not aggressive even with small kids it is bad because if he gets his chain wrapped around anything even a small weed he will start these really high pitched whines and an urgent bark like he is in some kind of trouble.
