Corneal Infiltrates
Sorry for the technical title, but, during Natasha’s vet visit on Friday, we identified that she has Bi-Lateral (i.e., both eyes) Corneal Infiltrates (essentially the build up of fatty material in the cornea). This is somewhat common in Siberian Huskies, but usually something detected when they are younger, not 5 1/2 years old like Natasha. When my vet…

Ok, Halloween is over, but exactly what is Cheoah doing? She hooks her upper lip on the crate and holds this look. Expressing her dissatisfaction? Practicing growling without straining a muscle? Just being a kid and making faces? Your best guess?

As we are breaking in the S-RV, we have stayed at a couple of state parks. Last night, we stayed in Cove Lake State Park in Tennessee. The dogs loved it because it had: Geese! And lots and lots of trails: And these guys, whatever they are: Can anyone help us out on what they…

The bi-ped caretakers have grumbled a lot about how difficult it is to go anywhere for a weekend because of The Herd. That’s right, amazingly, they sometimes want to be somewhere other than at the house taking care of 6 Siberians every night. Boarding The Herd is pretty expensive, we have had some bad experiences…
Read Today's Herd StoryFavorite Signs of the Blue Ridge Parkway
We are blessed to live near the Blue Ridge Parkway. The road courses through the highest mountains of the Eastern U.S. through Virginia and North Carolina. I have posted some of the scenery and trails, but today I wanted to share the signs. First, my favorite sign warning motorcyclists about the dangers of sharp curves:…

I had to stop at my favorite pet supply store yesterday because I had to pick up new fleece crate liners (heaven forbid that The Herd actually just sleep on a blanket – only fleece for their fluffy butts). When I parked the car and got out, I saw a beautiful white Sibe with blue…

Sorry for the picture, but here is a cell phone picture taken early this morning of the driveway on the way to work. As you can tell, a fairly light snowfall, but the furkids had a blast in it.

First, our apologies for not posting over the weekend, but we were a little busy. More to come on that later, but let’s just say that we decided that the Siberian Utility Vehicle works great for day trips, but we needed something a little larger for those longer trips. Stay tuned. And, yes, we owe everyone…
Read Today's Herd StoryPanoramics and an Unimpressed Herd
I was filming one of those panoramic views like this: I was impressed with the clear skies, the long range views, and the fading colors of the leaves. The Herd, however, was totally unimpressed as evidenced by this: It’s a very tough crowd to impress.
