A team of misbehaving Siberian Huskies, known as The Thundering Herd for the sound as they approach, and their hapless humans.
Today's Thundering Herd Story
A Goofy Cool Roscoe
We can’t really explain today’s photo of Roscoe P. Was he doing his best James Dean cool impression? Was he just being his normal goofy self? We’ll just call it a goofy cool Roscoe picture.

Important Little Stories
June 19, 2022
We focus so much on epic events, but sometimes it’s the smaller things in life that are the truly important little stories.
Way Back Wednesday
Each week, we reach back into our vault of over 4,500 previous posts and share a favorite. We hope you enjoy this look back.
Mud Freckles
Lots of snow, lots of rain, muddy roads, four-wheel drive, and an open jeep window. This is when a dog should not hold their head out of the window, as demonstrated by Natasha and Kodiak as they show off their Mud Freckles.
This Past Week's Thundering Herd Stories
Sultry Suave
We know many of our readers are dealing with far higher temperatures than we are, but we’ve broken into the 90s several days in the last two weeks. Our walks are early in the morning and later in the day and strictly along shady trails. But when we have a sultry suave—Frankie Suave, that is—you know it’s hot.
Not-So-Patiently Waiting
Afternoon walk time approaches and our official clock-watching Siberian Roscoe P. takes his duties seriously. Hu-Dad, however, catches on his reading in a more leisurely approach to time. Could you concentrate under the not-so-patiently waiting gaze?
Lunch Date
We hang out with Hu-Dad in his study as he writes in the mornings and does other busyness in the afternoons, but the mid-day break is the most exciting time. Most days, Hu-Dad makes himself a bowl of popcorn and, on pretty days, sits outside to eat and catch up on emails and social media. The only part of that sentence we paid attention to was “popcorn.” And, yes, we all volunteer to be his lunch date. Typhoon is applying some serious thought control to will the tasty morsels to fly toward him.
Daydreaming Boom
Is it the deer? Bear? Rabbits? Squirrels? We don’t know, but Landon loves sitting by the front doors and watching. Hu-Dad has been trying to capture a good photo of the daydreaming Boom Boom sitting at his post, but took this one through the glass doors of the study. The reflections in the panes gives the photo something of a dreamy effect.
We Need A Few Days
Dear TTH Fans: Hu-Dad here. On Saturday, we tragically lost my brother-in-law. The sudden and unexpected end of his life has devastated us all—his parents, his sister and her family, his extended family, his many friends. My own sister is reeling from the loss of her rock and partner. My Super Nephew… I don’t even…
Another View of the Plume
Landon appreciates all the compliments from yesterday’s post about his crazy tail, so here is another view of his plume. Landon thanks everyone for your compliments on yesterday’s post about his crazy tail. He posed with a big smile in the yard last night giving you another view of the plume.
