Rainy Days

Cheoah couch

Cheoah says rainy days can be boring, but at least they can be comfortable on the couch.

Frankie fire

Frankie says the best solution is to spend the time in front of the warm fireplace.

Roughing it

Of course, these pictures might affect our rough and tumble Siberian Husky image.

    We’d all be happy to have our image ruined in your living room! You two look like you live in the lap of luxury there. What’s in the vases on the shelves?

      Those are face jugs, a particularly type of pottery that had their U.S. origins in this area (debates about whether that is North Carolina, South Carolina, or Northern Georgia – but in this region for sure). They were a craft of slaves that may have been used simply for water, but were more likely used to keep others from seeing what was inside (whether slave owners or children – the faces were meant to convey evil).

      The craft was picked up by others, including some of the moonshiners in the area.

      They are fascinating works of art.

    Not as far as we’re concerned! Besides, your fireplace looks rugged and all.
    Can me and Zim come over? We aren’t allowed on the comfy furniture. We’ll bring snow!
    Luv,

    You do look more like pampered house pets than rugged sled dogs.

    Nice living and fireplace! They look too comfortable. BTW, where is the rest of the Herd?

    Wow!
    Chateau Herd rocks!
    What a lucky Herd to have such a comfy, cozy place to spend a cold, rainy day.

    The collies agree, those are the best ways to spend a rainy day! 🙂

Our winter may have been mild so far, but, like much of the east coast, we had a little snow this week. And so we had a little fun.
