Kiska here. I just need to tell a little story on my siblings.
Yep, these two right here - Natasha and Qannik.
Most of the Blue Ridge Parkway finally opened from the winter so we could get to one of our favorite high altitude trails.
The hike to the top was fairly uneventful.
But coming back down the backside of the mountain, we came up on a tree across the trail.
Hardly unusual, and something we cross many times each year.
See how I gracefully leap over the log while they - er - don't.
This is not going to work.
I couldn't help laughing at them.
So as we crossed another tree further down the trail.
I worried if they were going to remember the over - not the under.
Perfect style.
Natasha - You really had to tell that story, huh?

Canine Kitchen Flood
March 19, 2023
One of my dogs had an accident which resulted in a canine kitchen flood. No, no, not the way you just imagined. He’s more creative than that.

Each week, we reach back into our vault of over 4,700 previous posts and share a favorite. We hope you enjoy this look back.
The Queen and Decorum
Even after a long hike, a Queen must always avoid a fashion faux pas like, say, an out of place tongue. No, the Queen and Decorum are intact.
I’m sure they both were thinking that first log looked like a torture devise straight out of the inquisition! Kiska was VERY brave to have shown the way.
Is Kiska still alive? i hope so… or no worse for the wear after that story. after all, she is 2nd in command. QNTE needs her. Right?
Sometimes skills get a little rusty over the long winter…or maybe it is some kind of Sibe extremem challenge (“We don’t do NOTHIN’ easy” to quote Tina Turner)?
hehe…that is silly. Maybe they were playing a game and you just didn’t know it?
To go over or to go under is a tough decision! We woul dhave to agree with you Kiska, over is better – especially as it really didn’t look that high…well to us anyway, we probably wouldn’t fit under!
Licks and lots of slobber,
Lexi and Jasper the Danes
All that floof makes you extra smart, Kiska.
Me ‘n Ice would probly be the same as Shawnee, and think twice about those “spikies” sticking up all over the place. And like Shawnee, would be looking for a way to go around. After all, wouldn’t want to risk getting our beautiful white tummies all dirty, either.
In their defense, I think those spiky things might have made me think twice about which way to go and knowing me, I would have probably opted for neither – can we find a way AROUND this?
Yup!! Those over unders can be tricky for some. But you all are smart and beautiful!!

To funny Kiska:-) Thanks for sharing!! Watch your back though The Queen I am sure does not like her faux pas being made public!!!!!
Licks & Nibbles,
Kody & Nia
Now they have the hang of it!! (laughing hysterically in Anchorage)
Ohh those pics are HILARIOUS! Natasha may be the Queen, but we know who is the brains behind the throne. Not, um, Qannik. No.
We won’t hold it against woo, hope the Queen doesn’t either!
jack & moo
(great fluffy tail pictures!)
Kiska, you know what they say about paybacks… I’m glad you have pictures because no one would have believed it, otherwise!
Kiska, you have brains and beauty! Somebody has to be the brains of the operation and it looks like that’s your department! lol I love how you laugh at them while they try to figure it out!
Yep, HDM does bring treats, and she even baked them for us!

I applaud your courage to tell a story like this of the Queen, Kiska. I hope she doesn’t plot something against you for this…
Woofs,

Kiska DARES tell a story on the Queen? Good grief, that could be dangerous, couldn’t it and foolhardy at the least!
Kisses,
Stella
Natasha, we’re glad woo aren’t around to report on OUR agility-skills!!
I can’t believe QNTE let you get away with laughing at her!!
Oh, and I see they named the “top” after our pal Summiiii!!! How nice of them to put his name on their sign!
