The Rabbit Not Chased (And Other Tales Of Woe)
Typhoon loves the study because of the windows overlooking the front yard, but Hu-Dad’s rules created the rabbit not chased (and a big pout). Typhoon spends much of his day hanging out in the study with Hu-Dad, though Hu-Dad suspects the real attraction is the windows. The study juts out from the front of the…

Typhoon Phooey Versus Cheesewhiz
After a morning of medical tests, the Little Prince said the best relaxation technique was a Film Friday wrestling match – Typhoon Phooey versus Cheesewhiz. Typhoon started his morning riding with Hu-Dad to drop the Jeep at the Jeep Veterinarian. The staff invited them to hang out in the waiting area while waiting on their…

Puff The Magic Typhoon
Typhoon created a little excitement around Chez Herd yesterday, so much so that he earned a new nickname, Puff, and a trip to the vet. Yes, that is one swollen nose with very puffy eyes. Mid-morning, Hu-Dad noticed that Typhoon usually skinny and pointy beak was ballooning, so he earned an unscheduled trip to the…

A Slight Hole In Our Spring Day
Yesterday was a perfect spring-like day encouraging lots of sunshine napping at Chez Herd, though we did have a slight hole develop. The art of napping is lost on the young and their endless energy. Let’s say that almost everyone enjoyed lots of sunshine napping while a certain youngster amused himself. Don’t worry. While the…

O Brother, Where Art Thou?
With our utmost apologies to the Coen Brothers to the obvious movie reference, Typhoon appears to be wondering O Brother, where art thou . . . going? Frankie Suave’s favorite activity is soaking up the sunshine. Thus, he can usually be found on the deck, under the Tree of Life, or on the picnic table…

Everyone knows that Kiska is a serious scanning sentry, ever watchful for threats outside Sibe Quentin. But how about this for some you do not expect? Some rabbits were playing just on the other side of the fence and those games attracted a fuzzy Siberian attention. What was surprising was who was sitting still and…

Sort of Behaving Herd Style
Hu-Dad thought he would catch a couple of photographs of Typhoon and Cheoah when they were sort of behaving (by Herd definitions). Sadly, they thought the photo op would last exactly one frame, because behavior rapidly declined after the first flash. Typhoon does realize that the above picture makes him look like the troublemaker, but…

Reserved Reactions To The Humans Return
The humans abandoned us to go to a restaurant. When they returned to Chez Herd, they were greeted with reserved reactions. Mostly. For some reason that we can not fathom, our humans think they have the right to go into town without us. Something about going to a restaurant for a nice, quiet meal. Why…

Boom Boom Choir – Film Friday
Kiska is our long-standing Choir Mistress, but sometimes she allows someone else to be a guest conductor. And so we present our guest conductor with the Boom Boom Choir. Our Sibernacle Choir holds rehearsals several times a day to keep our singing voices in shape. Miss Kiska has long been our Choir Mistress, insisting that…

Handsome Posing In The Snow
Frankie Suave is known for his calm manners and his loving nature. But he is also known as Mr. Handsome and this photo proves it. He earned the nickname Frankie Suave by the confident way he carries himself – well, unless there is thunder, but we all have a weakness. His favorite perch is the…

Professional Working Dog Response
After a long winter of too little snow, we finally received a reasonable snow yesterday. Of course, we had to provide a professional working dog response. The snow started falling Monday evening and continued to fall throughout the day Tuesday. This is the sort of snow that we have expect to have on a regular…

Cheesewhiz – The Outdoor Version
So many of our posts of Cheoah involve her indoor antics, so she requested that we post an outdoor version to prove she does leave the couch. Cheoah believes firmly in the comforts of her couch and a roaring fire in the fireplace, but she insisted on a pictorial session proving her outdoor mettle. She…
