A decade ago, we adopted puppy Ty who became named after a natural disaster and lived up to it. Yes, it’s Typhoon’s Tenth Herdaversary.
He might have been less than a year old, but Ty came to us full of bravado. We asked readers to help us think of a two syllable name that started with Ty, and the rest is history. A Typhoon was born and the path of destruction continues to this day.
He loved our long walks. We took a lot of them all while Hu-Dad muttered something about burning energy off a certain juvenile delinquent.
He loved being a part of a big family and all the games that were played. Of course, sometimes others wanted the games to wait a while, but he had secret ways to instigate them.
We loved the youthful energy of the junior team, though Cheoah sometimes wondered why she needed two younger brothers.
Typhoon learned the rules of the house, though he always came up with some unique ways of complying.
And we might have suffered from a wee bit more damage around the house from some youthful exuberance, though Typhoon always maintained total innocence against any accusations.
So, yes, we welcomed young Typhoon to our Herd ten years ago. Who would have thought a decade of mischief would follow?
Happy Tenth Herdaversary, His Royal Highness Little Prince Typhoon Phooey.

Happy Belated PRINCE! I got caught up in busyness and got behind in my post readings! I have so enjoyed watching you grow, create mischief, annoy your brothers and sisters and demand Royal treatment!! Cheers to many more years TY!
Happy belated Herdaversary Typhoon!! You sure have kept Hu-Dad on his toes giving all of us some great photos, memories and laughs along the way!! I especially loved the ābites face gameā you liked to play on your walks!! Looking forward to many more Years of great memories!!???
awwwwāhow nice to see that Sibe behavior hasn’t change since we last had three in our home. We miss those days, now decades ago. But we’d not change them for anything in the world. Happy 10 th Ty!
This post makes me so happy. Typhoon is such a good boy and I hope he has special “Herdaversary” treats just for him! Maybe even a “Herdaversary Cake”. š He sure deserves it.
He’s such a unique boy. I remember his being a tough one with his digestive issues. He lucked out landing with the herd.
His digestive issues remain quite the challenge, but we keep them under control with a very strict diet and medications.
Happy Herdaversary!
Crazy that a bunch of us have been reading your posts daily for ten years or more! Time certainly marches on.
Happy 10th Herdaversary Typhoon, you sure live up to your name. Beautiful photos that show the fun dog that you are.
Happy Herdaversary! TEN YEARS. Wow time really passes quickly. š
Love the pictures! And happy 10th herdaversary, Tyhphoon!
Happy Herdaversary Typhoon, I can’t quite believe 10 years have passed already!
Wow 10 years already! I remember when he was introduced to us all. It has been fun to watch his antics and growth over the past decade. Happy 10th Herdaversary Tyhoon ??ā¤ļø?
Typhoon! I remember the day your addition was announced. Hard to believe Iāve been following this blog for so long. (Actually I remember Frankieās arrival too). This blog would not have been the same without all your curmudgeonly posts. Keep up the good work?
Happy 10th Herdaversary to Typhoon!
Happy 10th Ty. Keep on living up to your name!!
Wow, ten years. And everyone survived! Is he still as much of a “typhoon” as he used to be?
He has his moments. He issued a royal decree that no further comments be allowed on this issue.
those pictures sure do tell a story!
LOVE this post and the pictures Hu-Dad! Happy 10th Herdaversary Typhoon Phooey!!!!! You really earned your name.
