Squirrel Stare
The tree rats fascinate Roscoe P. He does his best to convince them to come just inside the fence so they can “play,” but the squirrels—wisely—decline the invitation. Unfortunately, that leaves our hero with nothing to do but the squirrel stare.

A Noise In The Forest
A snap of a twig. A rustle of leaves. A noise in the forest. Our heroes stop what they are doing and stare into the murky woods. What evil lurks in the dark shadows? In this case, of course, it was a dreaded…squirrel.

Stressful Weekend
Boom Boom wants everyone to know how hard his life is. He only gets two long walks a day for about five miles total. He only gets fed twice a day. His pillow fell in the floor and no one has put it back under his head. And this couch is so narrow his feety-feet are hanging off the edge. If those things don’t add up to yet another stressful weekend, he doesn’t know what does. He requests your expressions of sympathy.

Life at Chez Herd by the Sea might seem blissful. Two long walks a day. Breakfast and dinner fit for kings. Comfy beds and couches for snoozing. Birds and squirrels to watch.

Boom Cool
The great thing about photography is the ability to capture a single moment, that second of time when the subject hits that perfect pose and exudes power, confidence, and that certain level of sophistication. We call this Boom Cool. Don’t worry, though, two seconds later he was bouncing through the yard like a kangaroo, which is how Landon became Boom Boom in the first place.

No More Obsession Jokes
Roscoe would like to issue an apology to our readers. All week, we’ve made jokes about Landon’s non-stop chattering. We’ve allowed a simple thing to distract us, to become an all-consuming topic.

A Moment Of Silence
Poor Landon. We’ve made jokes all week about his talkative ways, but he decided to prove to us a moment of silence is possible. Of course, it happens to be sunrise and he might not be very awake yet. Or he’s giving Hu-Dad the glare. Don’t worry, he’ll tell us all about it.
