Flag On The Play – Cousin Interference
Hu-Dad went across the valley to have dinner with Hu-Grandmom, but we suspect cousin interference based on our sniff investigation. Spring has sprung around here, so Hu-Grandmom invited the Hu-Dad over for dinner. He claims he just went over for a good dinner on her screened-in porch, but we suspect our cousins received a lot of…

Several times a day, the perimeter of Sibe Quentin must be searched for intruders. Nothing is more important than taking security patrol seriously. Frankie Suave is continuing his task of training the rookie, Landon, in the proper protocol. Boom Boom is doing great, though he sometimes can get a wee bit distracted from the task…

Herd Walking The Neighborhood
Most every afternoon, Hu-Dad takes us Herd Walking the Neighborhood. Since we don’t exactly have neighbors, that can be a quiet walk. Hu-Dad is always mumbling, “A Tired Sibe Is A Good Sibe.” Somehow, that translates into us taking a long walk around our neighborhood every afternoon before we get dinner. After a long walk and…

Having Your Brother’s Back
Landon adores his big brother, Frankie Suave, and is a believer in always having his brother’s back – even if Frankie doesn’t really need the help. Much to Frankie’s chagrin, Landon insists on being as close as possible to his big brother at all times. Notice carefully in the picture above that Landon is just…

Gobbling Turkeys In The Distance
Living where we do (the eastern edge of the Great Smoky Mountains National Park), wildlife is common. Last night brought us gobbling turkeys. This is the time of year when wild turkeys are locating nests. The males are making quite the racket – via gobbling – to attract hens for mating. We have a tom (a larger, more…

Curse of Siberian Deafness
We Siberian Huskies are susceptible to a terrible disease that affects our ability to respond to commands at certain times – Siberian Deafness. The disease is an intermittent one. For example, let’s say the Hu-Dad is calling us to come inside because he has errands to run. We might have a hard time hearing his…

Snow Games On A Snow Day
The best part of a snow day are all of the snow games that are played, right Boom Boom? Looks like a game of tag is next on the agenda. We had a couple of inches of snow overnight, just enough to cover the ground and create the inevitable games inside Sibe Quentin. Landon only…

April Showers Herd Style – Film Friday
Film Friday is back! After a week at the beach, what could be more appropriate than some April Showers Herd Style (slightly frozen)? We are having a quite typical week of mountain weather for April. We posted about Hu-Dad having to mow the grass earlier this week when it was warm and sunny. Then, we…

April Showers Bring . . . Thunderstorms!
Our continually changing spring weather brought a series of thunderstorms to Chez Herd – much to the displeasure of Frankie Suave. Frankie’s Thundershirt was put into use yesterday for the first time this season. He wore it for most of the day as the thunder rumbled over and over. Poor Frankie Suave is ultra cool…

Early Spring And Tall Grass
Our overly warm and snowless winter has translated to an early spring, so Kiska was complaining about the tall grass that has sprung up in Sibe Quentin. The grass has decided it is spring and has exploded around the yard. Normally, first mowing is late April or early May, but it became very clear that…
