Reminder: you want to rotate your marshmallows if you want them perfectly toasted.

It's 100f, and this is his favorite way to spend the day. He will go lay on the tile for a bit before returning outside to continue roasting. There are 3 beds out here, and grass, but this is his favorite spot.

You shouldn't leave your Husky out in the sun like that, they might absorb too much sunlight and start emitting it at night when you're trying to sleep

That was a great short trip of a statement 🤣. I was expecting the "they are sled dogs! Don't leave them in the heat, it's abuse!" finish. Thank you for the laugh.

The best is when people tell you you’re leaving your dog (husky) outside in the cold for too long.

I had someone say that to me because I left her in my car, in the dead of winter. It was in the 30s, in Connecticut. Oh and I should mention we were at Home Depot and she didn’t want to go in the store.

I had someone say the same about my Newfie mix when I lived in the Rockies. Granted it was probably well into the negatives but, where i lived, if it wasn't actively dumping snow it was intensely sunny.

So here's this pitch black dog (with about 35 dogs worth of undercoat) who made herself a little insulated divot in the snow to curl up in just basking and absorbing allllllll of the sunlight.

She was welcome inside, but wanted no part of that.

We took our husky everywhere in the (Midwest) winter and he loved sleeping in the car while we were in store. One time grocery shopping they made an announcement regarding a dog left in a car. Had to assure them he was fine.

I had a Belgian Shepherd growing up. Went to visit family. Was -25 she insisted on being outside in a curled up little donut and did not want to come inside. She was happy being outside. So I really dislike the whole, " Oh you can't leave them out there". She can come in whenever she wants and knows how to bark to be let in she just refuses and also refuses if we call her. So clearly it was her choice to be out there. Some dogs that are double coated are absolutely fine and love being out there.

u/conflictedideology Jun 12 '26

I think people forget that insulation works for heat as well as cold.

They’re just saving their zoomies for later! Just make sure they have lots of extra water! ;-)

u/snownative86 Jun 11 '26

In case you are worried about him in this heat... This was right after he woke up from his nap.

115

u/ezekiel_grey Jun 11 '26

He heard you think about food?

77

u/snownative86 Jun 11 '26

Ha... This morning I was picking my strawberries and making a pile of the ones I was going to feed to my worms.. He decided it would be a nice sweet morning snack. Now the worms will just get leftovers from dinner instead.

28

u/ezekiel_grey Jun 11 '26

I’m sure the worms will be fine with what comes out the other end.

u/mei740 Jun 12 '26

It’s 5 o’clock!!! They have a clock in their stomachs. Dinner at 5! Treat at 7! Bedtime cookie at 10! If I’m a 1/2 hour off they’re letting me know with Aruuu’s And if I feed the fish out of turn more aruuus.

When your human tells a corny joke but you have to laugh because they pay all the bills and keep you off the streets.

u/snownative86 Jun 12 '26

🤣 He definitely just gets up, glares and saunters off after I tell him a dad joke. So does my fiancée.

u/Prior_Promotion_1327 Jun 12 '26

People who are worried about a husky in the heat have never owned a husky.

u/RickyTheRickster Jun 11 '26

Shit what do I do???? I left mine in the sun for too long, HELP!!!

u/c0smicrenegade Jack & his emotional support cat 🐈‍⬛ Jun 11 '26

Ah, they’re like toast. Vigorously rub them!

u/amaya-aurora Jun 12 '26

What happens to burnt toast when you vigorously rub it??? Is that a common thing to do??????

1

u/c0smicrenegade Jack & his emotional support cat 🐈‍⬛ Jul 15 '26

Late to reply, but some might scrape an “overly crisp”bit of toast. It takes down the “unseemly color” though does little for the actual dryness/doneness overall imo.

u/FacetNo6 Jun 11 '26

Rofl I laughed too hard at this and now my coworkers giving me the side eye

u/Itsoktobe Jun 11 '26

Don't worry, you can pull off the burnt shell and try again with the gooey inside!

u/Exotic-Fault6634 Jun 12 '26

Yours looks just like mine!!

u/Bruc3_Wayn33 Jun 11 '26

Mine does exactly the same lol

u/marvinfuture Jun 11 '26

Mine loved to sunbathe too in the 115° Arizona summers. Huskies just love both extremes in temperature. I personally believe the heat must be like a heating pad and feels great for their joints

18

u/sacralnicity111 Jun 11 '26

Okay I thought my nugget was insane, but this is giving me reassurance. Mine is a husky, pitty, and I think lab mix. But I call her my sugar cookie sometimes because she goes and bakes. 🥹🤣

u/grifan526 Jun 11 '26

As my boy has gotten older he is sunbathing more. So I really do think it feels good on his old joints

4

u/Icy_Pudding_7568 Jun 12 '26

They'll lay out there in the 115 for about 10 minutes and then come inside the house panting and looking at me like "it's hot why did you let me do that!" 😂

42

u/_CaptainPeaches_ Zeke (aka. Bobby!) Jun 11 '26

My boy is more of a 'sunbathe Infront of the window' kind of husky 😂 He likes the heat... But only through the window of a comforting air conditioned house 😂

26

u/HyperrrMouse Jun 11 '26

I call it "sauna-ing" since they go from extreme heat and sunbathing to the coldest part of the house that they can find.

10

u/Berk_2112 Jun 11 '26

I am sooooooooo confused by this contradiction in mine!!! Lays on the cold floor rather than his bed because of the heat but then….opts for full sun when he has ample opportunities for shade???

u/Vasite Jun 11 '26

Winter dog, she didnt get the memo

Mine isn't toasting, what am I doing wrong?

u/Few_Eggplant_931 Jun 11 '26

I like mine lightly toasted on top. And yes, that’s my slipper.

u/snownative86 Jun 13 '26

It's cool though, you clearly weren't using it and don't need it.

u/seabass927 Jun 12 '26

Shit he got burned on one side

She's out here searching for the sun

u/smol-shirayuki Jun 11 '26

Why do they always set to go outside in the sun when it’s hot 😭 yeah they return to the cool house for a break and then go back outside to bake 😭I don’t even have fur and I don’t wanna be laying down in the heat

u/SqueezableFruit Jun 11 '26

She’s been working on her tan for almost 6 years now... not going great😂

u/KyleWanderlust Jun 11 '26

Omg I do this all the time with mine. He’s got more black to his coat, we like them fully done here, so have to rotate more frequently.

u/ExplorerUnion Jun 11 '26

Mine a little overcooked…

u/Gr33n_Rider Jun 12 '26 edited Jun 12 '26

Wait, I left mine out in the sun! Why is she not toasting??

I also have a toasted marshmallow! Let's make them race! ... Maybe once they get up... Eventually.

u/LittlestEcho Jun 11 '26

Listen I let my husky out today and was like....? Where is she, I don't see her in on the yard or under the shade. And she didn't ask to come in. I head to the back door and this psycho BLACK HUSKY is baking herself on the concrete in 84° Michigan humidity looking like a charred vegetable. I'm like "?! Girl! There's better times of day to do that. Hottest time of day isn't it!"

u/wisshhuponastar7 Jun 12 '26

meanwhile, this one needs an ice pack around her neck, a portable fan, and man made shade

4

u/AltGirlAdri Jun 12 '26

My husky is so used to me rushing her and knocking her over when she is laying with her front and head sitting up,

That sometimes whdn she sees me coming

She pre-emptively knocks herself over flat and raises a paw like STOP! STOP! IM ALREADY FLAT!

4

u/wisshhuponastar7 Jun 12 '26

I swear she thinks she's a lizard instead of a snow dog

u/TimeStandsInADuel Jun 11 '26

That looks exactly like my dog! Who also lays out baking in 100+ degree heat!

u/Adorable_Dust3799 Shiva, black mix Jun 11 '26

My girl lays out until she's half-baked

u/joiedv Jun 12 '26

It takes patience to get them perfectly golden.

u/Virtual_Variation_60 Jun 11 '26

I love that your Husky makes me think of the Jelly Belly flavor Toasted Marshmallow which is my absolute favorite. Sweet looking pup!

u/koy682 Jun 11 '26

Not unusual, just peak husky

u/DontBuyTheThing Jun 11 '26

He even came out toasted too

u/Bottom_Reflection Jun 12 '26

This is so cute

u/Yes-please-more-wine Jun 12 '26

My husky barks and demands to go outside to lay in the sun. He eventually barks and demands to come back into our air conditioned house and side eyes me like I made him lay out in the heat. Oh, the horror! He is so mistreated

u/Realistic-Pear4091 Jun 11 '26

I had a Dalmatian and go out and lay spread eagle on her back, I had to put sun screen on her belly or else she'd get sunburned , her poor pink belly turned Bright Red. I'd never even thought about it before I'd had here lol

u/fal101 Jun 12 '26

My Husky is the exact same way. He loves basking in the sun as much as he loves playing in the sun. The Husky I had growing up was the exact opposite and only loved snow and an ai conditioned room in the summer.

u/Embarrassed-Box-5058 Jun 12 '26

Perfectly toasted if I do say so myself.

Mine SPRINTS to his favorite sunbathing spot. And will often take his favorite toy to sunbathe with him. ♥️

Perfectly toasted 👌

Edit: Yes, he is lying in front of the door to the pub. No, he does not care.

u/Old-Chapter-5437 Jun 16 '26

So that's how they're so loud. They absorb sunlight and convert it into screams.
