Why We Are Never Normal

Even when we try to do something routine like take an evening walk, we have to be different. So can someone explain why we are never normal?

Out for a family walk.

Out for a family walk.

Our spring weather is continuing and it has been absolutely beautiful. Hu-Dad spent much of the day on his computer or on the phone (that busyness is always busy), but we were able to squeeze in a great family walk at the end of the day. A perfectly normal family walk. What could possibly make things slightly less normal?

Oh, you silly humans.

Oh, you silly humans.

Fair enough. We had a family of five dogs our for a perfectly normal evening walk. And we had Typhoon. Who must always be creative and different.

At least I am actually walking forward.

    Rusty is whispering in Typhoon’s ear again! He will ever keep you entertained, I do love that pup – Typhoon!!

    Aww… Reading the other posts I never knew Rusty! I wish I had, but apparently Typhoon is the “reincarnation” of him. Yes there is always that one in the family that makes everyone shake their head… And laugh… And want to give him hugs and kisses and cuddles!!!!

    Awww….it’s Rusty! Has Typhoon seen the video where the husky is getting a piggyback ride from his dad during a walk? It could be a new variation for hu-dad…..carrying one of the herd. 🙂

    Definitely Rusty’s traits!

      Aww, I loved Rusty so much. I love seeing Typhoon repeating his funny traits!

    I was thinking of Rusty when I saw this post. And was pleased to see the first comment! Happy walks.

    Mom sez: I’m beginning to wonder if Typhoon isn’t a reincarnation of Rusty!

      We are all quite convinced that Rusty guided Typhoon to Chez Herd so that our walks would never be normal.

        There’s always one in the crowd! Funny how we always seem to know who that “one” is.

    • Deborah on March 10, 2016 at 7:55 am

      My thoughts exactly!

      I definitely think Rusty had a paw in getting Typhoon there. 🙂

A simple nightly routine with my dogs led me to face the wings of doom, a hideous creature that lurks in the shadows of my yard.
