What We Have Here Is A Failure To Entertain
Hu-Dad was busy with a project Friday which prompted us to paraphrase the movie Cool Hand Luke, “What we have here is a failure to entertain.” Hu-Dad worked on a project all morning on his computer. Some sort of busyness thing that apparently required us to be quiet so he could concentrate. We were excited…

Q-Tip Perimeter Patrol – Film Friday
We have talked often about Qannik resisting his security duties (or, frankly, work of any kind), which is why we so rarely see a Q-Tip Perimeter Patrol. But Wednesday evening, Kiska called him to work and he went. No griping. No grumbling. No resistance. Just action. The best part for our fans is that Hu-Dad…

Can We Be Guilty Of Too Much Fun?
Sometimes, Hu-Dad becomes a wee bit suspicious that we might be having too much fun. Wonder why he would think that today? Typhoon came running up with a big silly grin plastered on his face. Hu-Dad kept asking over and over what the Little Prince had been up to, but Ty continue to proclaim innocence.…

Cheoah’s Pest – Up Close And Personal
The Herd has settled into quite comfortable pairings – Kiska and Qannik; Frankie and Boom Boom; Cheoah and her pest, Typhoon. Hu-Dad was sitting on the deck brushing Cheoah – one of her favorite activities – when Typhoon came bounding up. He never really worries what others are up to when he announces his own…

Beware The Post-Eclipse Food Thief
After yesterday’s eclipse, Hu-Dad had to fend off a post-eclipse food thief who apparently thought he might be a little blinded from looking at the sun. Be right on the edge of totality for the eclipse, we settled down for afternoon naps while the Hu-Dad ventured into the path of totality. He was accompanied by…

Eclipse Security Chief On Duty
As so many in the U.S.A. prepare for today’s total solar eclipse, we wanted you all to relax knowing our Eclipse Security Chief was on duty. Since we are in the path of totality, many businesses in the area are working reduced hours or even closing. Regardless of what they do, those responsible for our…

The Reason For The Refusal
When you look at how sweet Frankie Suave and his little brother Boom Boom are, you have to wonder why the refusal yesterday to model. If you enjoyed yesterday’s post, you probably wonder why everyone did not participate. All the photos of Qannik were a giant white (fluffy) blur as he shook his head furiously…

Solar Eclipse Glasses Model Failure
Our Hu-Dad needed us to model some solar eclipse glasses for a story. We were not the most cooperative photography subjects. Hu-Dad had noticed a number of posts on social media about the need to keep dogs inside to protect their eyes during Monday’s eclipse. Now, there is no need to do so for a…

Cheesewhiz Coiffure – Film Friday
When you are a Siberian Husky, your coiffure is your style, your essence, your furriness – and Cheesewhiz takes her hair style quite seriously. As the summer is drawing to a close, we are all preparing our winter coats for what we hope will be a long, cold, snowy winter – absolutely perfect for us…

Displeasure Over Rain Delay
Yesterday afternoon, we had multiple waves of small rain storms cross our mountain causing some displeasure over the rain delay. After each storm passed, Landon would venture out into the yard to explore and play, but then get chased back to the porch when the next set of showers started. No real lightning or thunder,…

Capturing Typhoon’s Attention
Hu-Dad was working away in his study when he realized something moving outside the window was capturing Typhoon’s attention. One of the horse trails for Cataloochee Ranch goes in front of our house, so it is not unusual for horses and riders to traipse by. Horses are quite interesting, of course, but Typhoon is not…

Qannik’s Full Day & Busy Schedule
Everyone thinks Qannik has such an easy life, but he wants everyone to know all of the demands he has on his busy schedule. The Chief of Security makes sure he puts in the appropriate amount of time on security work. Q says it may look like he doesn’t take this task very serious, but…
