Each member of The Herd has one-on-one time with the Hu-Dad. One of those daily moments is reading with Qannik where the Q shares a couch and a book.
I’m ready, Hu-Dad. Have your book?
The reading couch is in the bedroom and is a perfect spot for a human and canine to curl up and get lost in a story.
Quick, Hu-Dad, before the others figure it out and come in here.
This particular trip, however, the Hu-Dad also brought in his camera. The Q is, after all, quite the photogenic model.
Profile.
Q-Tip, however, has a special message for the Hu-Dad regarding interfering with their reading time.
Put the camera down and pick up that book.
Pardon us while we go read.

A Shark Attacked My Best Friend
June 20, 2025 - In honor of the 50th anniversary of the theatrical debut of the movie Jaws, the film that was the inspiration for these events, D. K. Wall recorded the story in audio and video. The original story was posted on October 9, 2022.
A shark attacked my best friend when I was 11. His screams were awful. The silence that followed was worse. I was alone in the ocean.
Enjoy it your way

His books pay for our food!
Awww. The glimpses we get of your house look SO beautiful, and with Q-Tip – even better!
Loved reading about Qannik’s reading time. What activities do the other herd members enjoy with hu-dad?
Snuggle-pie!
Let that hu-dad have it Qannik! It’s reading and cuddle time!
Huh. I get that same look when I bring out the camera for Frisbee time. “Lady, stop taking photos and throw the #@$#@ Frisbee already.”
Mom sez: Looks like he’s saying, “You’re cutting into our {us time}, put that fool camera away, hu-Dad!”
You tell him, Q-Tip!
