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
Frankie’s Mission
Hu-Dad was capturing photos in the backyard for this week’s blog and asked Mr. Suave to join, but Frankie’s mission was too important. What was it? He wouldn’t say, but he wasn’t going to be deterred.

This Past Week's Thundering Herd Stories
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.
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.

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

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…
