The Herd Left Alone!

Fans of The Thundering Herd Facebook Page (really, click that link and then click the “Like” button and you, too, can get breaking Herd News) already know that the humans abused the poor Herd Sunday night by stopping for pizza and beer – and leaving The Herd in the Jeep to amuse themselves. Β To add insult to injury, the hu-dad sipped beer, ate pizza, and actually took pictures of The Herd from the restaurant.

Rusty tries his best pitiful stare - but was looking at another table in the window. Those people did not feed The Herd pizza bones either.

A lady strolled past walking her very small dog. Rusty and Natasha were most amused.

They did not stop to say hello, so everypup just watches them down the sidewalk (see Qannik in the back?).

Rusty selects another pizza eating victim to work his pathetic face on.

    Hello Herd…I’ve FINALLY managed to come round and catch up with your posts! πŸ™‚ I had a real giggle at Tartok demonstrating the work ethic of Siberian Huskies – hee! hee! πŸ˜† And I love these photos of you guys waiting patiently in the car…but surely you got a piece of crust at least??

    The fully loaded Herdmobile must be a sight to see. We cant beleive no Pizza was bestowed upon the Herd, what is wrong with the world today.

    I just feel so sad for you all – the indignity!!! On the other hand, I adore your Herdmobile – all open like that! But still worse, when I contemplate it, that you could actually see and smell those foodables all the more. I hurts for you!
    Big Hugs xoxoxo

    Funny, I have that same face when I want pizza and wine!

  24. NCMountainwoman on April 28, 2010 at 9:28 am

    No doubt the saddest photographs I have seen recently. Could be a spot for animal cruelty.

  25. Houndstooth on April 28, 2010 at 8:26 am

    Oh, Rusty! I’d have totally given you pizza bones for that face! I feel like I should put some in the mail right now!

  26. Huffle Mawson on April 28, 2010 at 6:10 am
