The Mystery of Eating Snow
Hu-Dad was watching Typhoon eating snow and asked the Little Prince to explain the biggest mystery around this culinary delight. This time of year, we tend to get a lot of fairly unremarkable snowfalls. We had about an inch Friday night, about another inch Saturday night, and then about 3 inches Tuesday night. These are…

Cheoah Is My Name; Instigation Is My Game
Of the many character traits among The Herd, the one that surprises most people is the instigation routine of sweet little Cheoah.

Everyone’s Big Brother Frankie Suave
Everyone’s big brother is Frankie Suave, not just Boom Boom following him around the yard or mischievous Typhoon being aimed to the straight and narrow.

You may be wondering if Landon…

Uncooperative Photography Subjects
Every day, we try to share three or four photos of us, but Hu-Dad says that can be quite challenging with uncooperative photography subjects. As an example, one second before the photo above, Kiska and Qannik were looking directly at the camera. Hu-Dad focused and snapped. The output is as you see it. “Come on,…

Rainy Day Reactions From The Herd
Our weather finally warmed, just enough that snow flurries turned to rain. The rainy day reactions from The Herd sums up their feelings.

Boundary Brothers / Bounding Brothers
As boundary brothers, Frankie and Typhoon were enthralled with something beyond the fence. And then they were bounding brothers back to the house.
