Campsite Intruder Alert
We have told our readers many times about our security alerts around Chez Herd, but Hu-Dad insists that we stay quiet when we are camping. Thus, a campsite intruder alert is intense, but much quieter. We have plenty of wildlife at our house, but we, strangely, just don’t have squirrels. Yes, we know, they are…

Malamute Greetings
Wait, wait. Is the title of today’s post Malamute Greetings? But we are Siberian Huskies. How can this possibly be allowed? The original plan for today’s post was to tell you about our great walk with the Siberians in the South – Loki, Cesar and Yukon of Murrells Inlet, SC. That was a terrific plan…

Charleston Will Never Be The Same
The first sign of trouble was a Charleston tour guide on a horse-drawn carriage who lost the attention of his guests as we walked by. They were taking more photos of us than of some several hundred year old house the guide was talking about. Later, renovation work on a house totally stopped as all…

A Dirty Job But Someone Has To Do It
Six dogs hanging out on a picket line in a campsite with the Hu-Dad in a rocking chair reading a book. How could any dog possibly create a problem in such a closely supervised situation? It is a dirty job, but someone has to do it. Cheoah’s land excavation skills are well known and she…

Why We Walk So Much
When we are on an RV adventure, the Hu-Dad insists that we take multiple walks every day. Does anyone know why we walk so much? We walk in the morning. We walk mid-day. And we walk again in the evening. And each time we walk and walk and walk. What is Hu-Dad trying to accomplish?…

Walking on the Beach
The absolute best part of a beach vacation is walking on the beach. Oh, sure, we love hanging out in the campsite and greeting all of the other campers, but nothing better than a stroll down the sand. Especially at sunset. None of us are exactly getting in the water type of dogs, though a…

We Have Arrived
Yes, yes, we have arrived. Ok, sure, we are so tired. Seven hours of driving in the S-RV (Siberian Recreational Vehicle), but we arrived in time for a nice long walk, a dinner in the campsite, and an early bed time. This is our Fall Beach Trip to Huntington Beach State Park in Murrells Inlet,…

The Adventure Begins
Hu-Dad mentioned earlier that we had something special planned for the coming week. While you are reading this post today, our adventure begins. The humans were running around getting clothes into bags, packing food (yes, including canine cuisine!), and gathering other gear. Since our weather is supposed to include lots of below freezing temperatures here,…

Eye on the Prize
Hu-Dad was walking through the house when he noticed the Frankie was very focused – his eye on the prize. But what had his attention? Must be something really good because Hu-Dad called Frankie’s name and he didn’t react at all. Hu-Dad had to move to another window to see what held Frankie’s attention. Yes,…

Beautiful Day in the Neighborhood
Yesterday was just a beautiful day in the neighborhood – a high of 61ºF (16ºC), clear blue skies, and the gorgeous fall colors. We took a walk around our neighborhood and Hu-Dad just focused on landscape pictures. Trust us, though, we did have a couple of photos of us. Our first snow last year was…

Natasha Ultrasound Update
As mentioned in a post the other day, Natasha had her periodic check-up following her surgery back in July to remove a 1.95 pound (0.9 kg) mass from her liver. We did not mistype that mass size. It was a whopping 10 inches by 8 inches (25cm x 20 cm). The biopsy revealed it to…

Another Movie Plot Twist
Hu-Dad often watches movies in the evening. When he settles in to watch, we all like to gather. But with one movie plot twist after another, we lost interest and drift away. Cheoah, however, thinks the couches are the best spot in the house and she hangs out the longest. Of course, when we say she…
