Not So Patiently Waiting For Snow
Promises were made yesterday that we would see some real snow, so we would best be described as not so patiently waiting here at Chez Herd. We had quite a few snow showers throughout the day on Saturday, but virtually no accumulation. But we could certainly smell the snow and kept asking Hu-Dad to let…

We were receiving some much-needed rain at Chez Herd yesterday, though that interfered with the outdoor plans we all had. Hu-Dad suggested to Landon that he should play indoors. Unfortunately, indoor play…

We Are Ready For Bedtime
Hu-Dad was working on some busy-ness project much later than normal yesterday evening. Don’t we look like we are ready for bedtime? Yesterday morning, we had a plumber at the house handling some repairs. Amazingly, we were not allowed to help. Something about our amazing cuteness would slow him and he charges by the hour.…

The Adventures of Flat Dog
Typhoon was sprawled in his usual spot, under Hu-Dad’s desk in the study. He never left his flat dog pose while Hu-Dad crawled around photographing.

A Scandalous Cheesewhiz Coverup
A cold winter day should not create any outrage, but Hu-Dad has photographic evidence of a scandalous Cheesewhiz coverup. Hu-Dad took a break from his busy-ness in the study, stepped over the various dogs napping on the floor and noticed that Cheoah was napping on her usual couch. The only difference is that Cheesewhiz had…

Some Things Do Not Change
A year ago, we posted a video that looked very much like today’s, proof that some things do not change even if our Herd does continue to evolve. We posted just the other day about Landon’s new assigned job of alerting Frankie to rabbits in the lower field. But Landon is not the only little…

The Office Crowd On A Stormy Day
Like a lot of the eastern US, we had thunderstorms move through our area yesterday, which made for quite the office crowd in Hu-Dad’s study. Fortunately, we missed all of the destruction that so many others had from the storm. We had some much-needed rain, some heavy winds (a common event in the mountains) and…
