October 6, 2016 |

Wednesday seemed to be a little better day for Queen Natasha with some food eaten and a few circuits around Sibe Quentin. Much of the day was still spent napping under the Hu-Dad’s desk, but Natasha did eat some breakfast and even more dinner yesterday. Of course, Hu-Dad added some raw salmon to dinner last…

No matter how good you are, trying to maintain innocence around Chez Herd is incredibly difficult just because of your associates. The vast majority of time, Frankie Suave is the epitome of good. In fact, the others have often threatened to revoke his Siberian Husky membership card for actually coming when called, behaving in the…

October 3, 2016 |

Running errands in Asheville yesterday, so Hu-Dad decided it was a perfect morning for a little walk in the park – Herd style. Amazingly, six Siberian Huskies out for a little family stroll do draw some attention. However, we have one member of The Herd who can’t seem to do anything normally, and he did…

Zoomies From The Least Likely Subject

October 1, 2016 |

Many times, we have posted images and even a video of Typhoon Zoomies. But Hu-Dad caught the least likely subject racing around the yard yesterday.

Frankie Furry Flurry – Film Friday

September 30, 2016 |

Yes, yes, Cheoah decided to create a Frankie Furry Flurry for Film Friday – and Hu-Dad could not be happier with that alliteration. Yes, we know, our Hu-Dad is geeky about grammar (and math, too). The funny part is that Hu-Dad never actually knows what he is going to capture with the camera. We rarely…

Security Alert – East Sector

September 29, 2016 |

When Queen Natasha calls a security alert in the east sector, the response is strong. Even Qannik managed to join the muster. Queen Natasha was handling security patrol solo when she spotted a threat. She called for backup and the response was swift. Even the Hu-Dad jumped at the sound of the alarm – camera…

Mouth-Watering Baking Aroma

September 27, 2016 |

A certain young helper wandered into the kitchen, attracted by the mouth-watering baking aroma that Hu-Dad was busy creating. Hu-Dad had just finished sifting the dry ingredients and checked the recipe on his iPad. The ultimate kitchen supervisor had wandered in to assure that all quality control measures were being met. Hu-Dad reminded Typhoon of…

Late Dinners Are Not Acceptable

September 26, 2016 |

Hu-Dad has this rule that dinner time is when he serves it. We, however, are quite clear that late dinners are not acceptable. Qannik began complaining loudly that dinner was entirely too late . . . at 5:15 p.m. Sometimes, our dinner is served as early as 5, but normally it is closer to 6.…
