Hanging Out with the Cousins

Hu-Dad went across the valley to have dinner with Hu-Grandmom – and he spent some time hanging out with the cousins, Tartok and Ruby, without us. When he returned, we sniffed him thoroughly.

Tartok settled into his observation post.

We were concerned that Hu-Dad went over there and played games with our cousins, but he assured us the visit was totally serious and he never would have fun without us.

Ruby looking totally serious, though Hu-Dad’s picture appears suspiciously to be taken from floor level.

We know our cousins well enough to doubt that. And we know Hu-Dad and how he likes to play with any dog he meets. So, we seriously doubt the visit was all serious.

belly rubs

Hmmmm – looks like maybe Tartok was getting some of Hu-Dad’s patented belly rubs.

So what do you think?

    Hu-Dad has been sneaky. Time to go all Spy-Dog on him and see what fun was had!

    Looks like Tartok and Ruby had a suspiciously good time. And maybe Hu-Dad too.

    I’m sure he was just conducting a scientific study so that he would be more efficient in his play times and belly rubs
    Totally serious and for the good of his sib-herd I’m sure

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.
