Question
Wondering why our Siberian Huskies like to lay down outside in full sun when is ninety degrees. They are 71/2 years old.

Answer
I wonder that too.  Sauna perhaps?  I have two, one that does the very same, and the other that will hide in shaded spots and dodge the sun, so I think it's personal preference.  Just make sure they have shade and water, and usually dogs are pretty good about determining when they need heat relief.  But yes, stange behavior from an arctic breed, but not uncommon.
