In a house full of Siberian Huskies, Hu-dad purposely gives each pup some one-on-one time. Q-Tip thought he had claimed some extra solo time, but it was a case of so close, yet so far.

    What impresses me is that the hu-dad also sits on the chaise without a cushion. You pups have trained him well!
