Wolves In The Wild Grasses
Prey rarely ventures out into open fields for fear of wolves in the wild grasses, stealthily hunting without being seen or heard. The wolf rules the prairies, taking prey easily with its swiftness of foot and fearsome abilities. The lower animals quiver in fear at its ferociousness and no one dares challenge its dominance. The…
Read Today's Herd StoryDon’t Be Late
After Sunday’s fiasco with Hu-Dad’s tardiness resulted in a late meal, we have a new rule for all of us – don’t be late for dinner ever again. Hu-Dad was sitting on the back deck taking photographs of us playing inside Sibe Quentin. As often happens, he did not know what the topic of today’s…
Read Today's Herd StoryLate Late Dinner
Between yesterday’s thunderstorms and heavy rains, Hu-Dad claimed he was really tardy with his errands. Which meant we received the late late dinner. We had rains off and on all day. The heavy winds and loud thunder avoided our area (and Frankie is thankful for that), but we still received nearly an inch of rain.…
Read Today's Herd StoryCousin Check In
Hu-Dad crossed over the valley to Hu-Grandmom’s house last night for Saturday night dinner, so he brought back a cousin check in for us. First up is “The Dude” himself, Tartok. As long-time readers know, Tartok has a long standing tradition of going to bed very early and not being much of a host past…
Read Today's Herd StoryInside Outside Confusion
Hu-Dad said that we appear to be suffering from some sort of inside outside confusion based on our recent behavior indoors and outdoors. We went outside this morning about sunrise, ate our breakfast, and commenced napping. Normally, we ask to come inside several times a day, but yesterday we just quietly napped. Every time that…
Read Today's Herd StoryCuring The Rainy Day Blahs
Heavy thunderstorms up here on the mountain ridges, so we were curing the rainy day blahs for some bored Siberian Huskies. We have settled into the traditional summer pattern of weather – warm and humid with daily thunderstorms. We don’t mind the mountain definition of warm, since we had a high of 71ºF (22ºC) at the…
Read Today's Herd StoryBusiness Etiquette in the Office
As role models for proper decorum, we thought we would dedicate today’s post to exhibiting excellent business etiquette in the office. Hu-Dad does most of his busyness from his study, which is great because we are to help him throughout the day with his work. We like to organize his paperwork, participate in his telephone…
Read Today's Herd StoryWhy We Do Security Patrols
Tuesday afternoon, Hu-Dad snapped some photos of us handling security patrols. Tuesday evening, he saw quite openly why we take our security patrols seriously. As any regular reader knows, Chief of Security Kiska insists on regular patrols of our perimeter. And when something is seen, smelled, or sensed, we respond in force to defend our…
Read Today's Herd StorySpeed Racer
One of the key advantages of youth is your quickness, and Typhoon loves to prove how much of a speed racer he is every day. The munchkin has reason to smile. He knows he can outrun anyone inside Sibe Quentin (including quite a few rabbits), but first he has to toy with his pursuer. And…
Read Today's Herd StorySummer Snowmaking
If our neighbors at Cataloochee Ski can make snow in the winter, we decided we should try our hand (er, paw) at summer snowmaking. And, yes, that is fur. Lots and lots of fur. We are all dropping our winter coats and Hu-Dad was speeding things along yesterday with our Metro Air Force Commander.(yes. that…

A few readers noticed something important was missing from yesterday’s post, so we sent out a cracker jack search party for answers. For an amazing seven weeks in a row, we celebrated Film Friday by posting a brand new video on our YouTube page and shared it on our blog. We even relaunched our video…
