Cool!
Yes - I think you should definitely make a point of keeping Bodega no matter what!
Yes, huskies can be quite feisty, even when grown. Greyhounds can be trouble as well - I have a friend who petsits for two greyhounds her former boss got from a rescue group for former racing dogs. They are so sweet - but the female has major separation anxiety. The man has had to have his back door (the one he uses more often) replaced more than once b/c she will chew at the frame and the door to try to get out when he's not home. She sleeps in a crate at night, but he doesn't want to keep her crated all day too, so he lets the dogs have the run of the house. He's thought about a doggy door - but it would have to be big enough for a person to fit through, so wouldn't be safe. He tries to not leave them alone for too long at a time, but doesn't always have a choice, and he lives alone.
Oh my...
And my lil' Penny was quite a troublemaker when I first got her too. She taught Puddin' to chew things up (had never had a problem before getting Pen) and she joined in, and for a while, until I started crating them when I wasn't at home, I was having a lot of trouble. But now that they're a little older, I don't have to crate them anymore and they're fine. Though I still don't leave plastic of any kind laying around where Pud can get ahold of it when I'm gone! She loves to eat plastic if she can.
