Beach
The weather forecast for this past weekend at the house was cold rain (2 inches (5 cm)). Temps in the 30°’s F (low single digits celsius) with lots of rain and showers. Yuck! Nope, believe it or not, that is not Cheoah’s face grimacing at the weather. That is her entertaining herself by the “hooking…
Read Today's Herd StoryBreedism
We have complained before about Breedism, the assumption that a Siberian Husky is this poorly behaved wild child. Where does that reputation come from? Sigh. Anyway, we have yet another example clipped out of our local newspaper: On a totally different topic, we posted this link on Sibernet-L, an internet list-serv for Siberian Husky fans,…

Nothing is quite as comfortable as a sunny day, a warm spot in the grass, and the relaxation that comes from a nice long walk. Right Natasha? Ok, maybe there is one thing more comfortable. Kodiak would like to explain. Grass is nice, but Qannik makes the fluffiest pillow around.

After a hike, I often use a picket line to let the dogs rest while I water them down. The end result are pictures like this: Rusty Kodiak Kiska If you were to drive up on the scene, the purpose of the picket line would become abundantly clear as you looked over at…

Wow. It got much, much hotter yesterday than predicted – 80°F (27°C) in the valley according to weather.com – just 1 degree off of our record high for the day. Considering that a week ago, we were walking in snow, this is weird. Our low this morning of 34°F (1°C) was higher than our highs…

Happy Saturday to everyone. An absolutely gorgeous day here with lots of sun and a high in the 60’s predicted (almost 20 C), so we are headed out to go hiking and enjoy a nearly spring day. True, we preferred last week’s snow, but the humans seem really energetic today, so we better take them…

Dear Humans – I’m mad. Can you tell? Wednesday morning, you made me miss breakfast. Breakfast. That, may I remind you, is a meal. Food. Need I remind you of how I get when breakfast is late? And this wasn’t late. This was missed. Gone. For what? A visit to the V-E-T. That’s two strikes.…
