Shocked. Shocked to be tethered again.

Bad To The Bone

May 3, 2016 |

No matter how hard certain members of The Herd may try to behave, they are just bad to the bone and destined for trouble at any moment. Typhoon would like to appeal his sentence of being tethered inside the house once again. Let’s review: Yes, he might have been found on top of the center…

Odd Couple Moment

May 2, 2016 |

Like most groups, we have our favorite combinations for fun and games. Every now and then, though, we have an odd couple moment. As we have described before, the back of our house has two large, covered porches – perfect for canine hangouts. The seniors prefer their days to be quiet and relaxing and object…

Reserved Seating

May 1, 2016 |

When you notice that the best seat is taken – especially a seat with a view, you just know that person was lucky enough to get reserved seating. In Hu-Dad’s study, the coveted seat is a chair opposite of Hu-Dad’s desk. From that chair, you can monitor the Hu-Dad, monitor wildlife movement in front of…

Last Patrol of the Evening

April 30, 2016 |

The sun was setting and the sky was getting dark, but the senior security team was quite clear that there was time for one last patrol of the evening. One of Hu-Dad’s strict rules is that we must sleep inside at night. Something about wild creatures roaming our woods, though we think it may have…

Film Friday – A Very Cheesewhiz Evening

April 28, 2016 |

Cheoah (aka, Cheesewhiz) decided to have a very Cheesewhiz Evening – a great plan that only required shaking her brothers. In fairness, the brothers were not the only issue. She was also being followed by quite persistent puparazzi with a video camera. Those picture taking Hu-Dad’s can be very hard to shake. She moved to her…

April 28, 2016 |

We often will interrupt Hu-Dad while he is working on his busyness in his study, but Typhoon is now creating the ultimate workplace distractions.

Chief of Security taking a little break time.

Break Time Approved?

April 27, 2016 |

Hu-Dad looked outside and realized that the Chief of Security was taking a little break time. Was this approved by the boss? All was quiet, so Hu-Dad glanced outside to see that everyone was being good. Much to his surprise, he noticed that the Chief of Security appeared to be taking a nap. Had such…

Waiting Room Manners

April 26, 2016 |

After taking Natasha and Cheoah to our vet yesterday for their laser treatments, Hu-Dad has suggested that we all need better waiting room manners. Notice in the above picture that Queen Natasha the Evil is higher than Cheoah. That would be because she is sitting on the waiting room couch. You know, just like at…

Almost All Tired Out

April 25, 2016 |

We were up early Sunday morning for a good bit of walking, perfect in the cool spring air. And we arrived home almost all tired out. Almost. After our crowded park walk on Saturday, we decided to go much earlier in the day to avoid the crowds. The morning was absolutely picture perfect, so we…

Come on, Hu-Dad, how much trouble could I get into?

Quiet Walk In The Park

April 24, 2016 |

All we wanted was a nice quiet walk in the park for the whole family, but, as you might suspect, it didn’t exactly work out that way. Because we live in a tourist area, every weekend has a number of festivals going on. Unfortunately, that means we stop paying attention to what is scheduled when…

A Bird In The Hand

April 23, 2016 |

Typhoon learned a valuable lesson is contained in an old saying. A bird in the hand – er, paw – is worth less than a bird in the bush – er, mouth. Or something like that. We should began our story many years ago when we lived in our old house (all the way on…

Film Friday – Heating Up And Cooling Off

April 22, 2016 |

We love a Film Friday video that contains a Frankie Bass Woo, a wrestling match heating up, and a Cheesewhiz cooling off. Yes, that’s correct, Cheesewhiz. No matter what, do not step in that water bucket. Don’t splash in that water bucket. Don’t dig in that water bucket. Oh, who are we kidding? And exactly…
