As all our readers know, we have many nicknames for each member of The Herd. One of Typhoon’s is the Little Prince. Do you wonder why?

Do I look a like I expect the world to revolve around me?

I heard that, Hu-dad.

We have started receiving Valentine’s cards and will provide our first update on the Valentine’s Hearts for the Herd contest soon.

We will announce the winner on February 14, so your Valentine’s card must be received by February 13 in order to be eligible for our drawing. Remember to mail your Valentine’s card(s) to your favorite member of The Herd (To: Dog’s Name, c/o The Thundering Herd, PO Box 1835, Maggie Valley, NC  28751-1835). If you wish, you may also include a donation made payable to Sarge’s Animal Rescue Foundation (who saved 1,231 dogs and cats in 2014 – over 3 animals every single day of the year – see this article for details).

You can find the profiles of each dog at these links – Cheoah, Natasha, Qannik, Kiska, Typhoon and Frankie.

And one lucky winner will be randomly selected from all of the Valentine’s received to win the grand prize from Smoky Mountain Dog Bakery!
