Each alpha of The Herd has approached their job differently. Frankie Suave believes in the see no evil approach.

Over the years, we’ve had many dogs step into the role of leader—Mama Bear Nikita, Queen Natasha the Evil, Miss Cheoah the Cheesewhiz. Each has taken a different approach, but all made sure the youngsters stayed in line. And, we will note, all have been female. Until now. Frankie Suave is the first male in charge. He also takes a different view of things. He uses the see no evil approach. Not particularly helpful in controlling the youngsters, Hu-Dad would note, but consistent with his suave approach to life.

NOTE TO NEWSLETTER SUBSCRIBERS – After weeks of testing, we expect to go live with the new newsletter service Monday (or Tuesday if last testing shows a flaw). Fingers crossed. If you are missing an email tomorrow, we suggest checking your spam folder, dragging it into your inbox, and clicking a link. That trains your email service provider for you and everyone else using it.

Anyone subscribing to the newsletter starting today will be added to the new service automatically.

And, yes, we updated our privacy notice for the new service. No changes other than the who and they are a high quality and secure service.

We also dropped our old “share this” service which had become too unfocused on privacy. The new buttons at the top of the post track absolutely NO information. None. Zip. Zero. That’s our idea of privacy.
