An Extra Redhead

We were enjoying our regular afternoon outing on a trail when a nose count revealed an extra redhead walking with The Herd.

Wait a minute - we have an extra redhead.

Yes, our cousin Ruby (Hu-grandmon’s Siberian Husky) joined us for our afternoon walk. Those needing a scorecard might appreciate the names from left to right – Ruby, Landon, Frankie, Cheoah, Typhoon and Roscoe.

Don't worry about the extra space—she joined in well with us.

Nothing like a good, long, summer walk to make everyone sleepy. And for some odd reason, that thought makes the Hu-Dad smile.

A good extended family walk.

    Charlee: “Nice to see six fluffy tails even if one is just visiting.”
    Lulu: “You can never have too many fluffy tails, if you ask me!”

    As a redhead myself, I favor the flavor! I’m also a little too close to being a senior, so these girls are my furry sisters. Love them all, but we girls have to stick together.

    My 2 Redheads are high pawing each other, at the thought of Miss Cheoh having a twin, AND another girl to walk with. Hope your plan of wearing them put worked! Happy trails, or tails to you!????????????

    I’ve wondered how she’s done since losing Tartok. (It is nice to see six.)

    If your Ruby is like mine then she is a sweetheart. Enjoy the weekend.

    Does Cheoah mind having another girl around? It’s good to see a group of six again.

    Have a great weekend!
