Random Travels
One of the trails we took during our vacation crossed a wooden bridge. Landon had so much fun walking across it that he decided to turn around and go back across. Unfortunately, he forgot to tell his big brother, Frankie Suave, who doesn’t seem surprised at all by Boom Boom’s random travels.

Midst of Vacation Chaos
Family vacation can be quite the organizational chore, particularly for a large number of siblings. Of course, being in the midst of that vacation chaos can be a total blast. Even the Little Prince seems to be having tons of fun surrounded by his brothers.

Speed It Up
A light drizzle fell, so Frankie hurried up his business so he could get back under the roof of the deck. He scrambled up the steps and waited for the gate to be opened. Hu-Dad, unfortunately, doesn’t have four paws to bound up the stairs, so he was a few steps behind. Frankie admonishes him to speed it up.

Get Off My Lawn
Poor Typhoon. He wants his world to operate in exactly his way without any outside interference. When he saw kids playing next door, he wanted to yell, “Get off my lawn.” Then Hu-Dad pointed out they were in their own yard and had every right to play there. Typhoon does not seem convinced. (P.S.—No barking was involved, just much staring.)

Caption This: Moment Of Impact
Roscoe adores his big brother Typhoon, so when he saw him standing alone in the yard, he had to race over. Unfortunately, the grass was wet, Roscoe was going too fast, and his brakes weren’t up to the challenge. Hu-Dad caught this photo a split-second before impact and wondered who said what. So, dear reader, caption this!

Pardon Me
What do you say when you had claimed the front of the line to go in the house first but then your big brother comes along and says move it? Based on Landon’s reaction, he appears to have decided the wisest course of action is to say, “Pardon me. Why don’t you go first?”

The Royal Snooter
The most common question the Hu-Dad receives is “Where’s the Sled?” Seriously. We get asked this at least once and usually several times a day when out for a walk. But right behind that question is where all of our nicknames came from. Today’s photo explains the Little Prince. We aren’t sure if that Royal Snooter could possibly be higher in the air as he prances out of the house one morning.

Suave Surveyor
As the senior dog of The Herd, Frankie prefers to let the youngsters play while he enjoys his naps and quiet time. As the eldest, however, he is responsible for keeping watch over all the mischief, something he prefers to do from the comfort of the deck. Let’s just call him the Suave Surveyor.

March Of The Feety-Feet
Typhoon is such a serious dog. He expects the world to move his way, bending and yielding to his every demand. But the Hu-Dad can’t help but to chuckle when the Royal Scowl appears. The Little Prince might be trying to make a point in today’s photo, but the Hu-Dad just thought of it as the March of the Feety-Feet.

Caption This: Royal Chase
We start the New Year much like last year with a royal chase. His Highness Little Prince Typhoon Phooey seems to be saying something to his little brother, but what woos are being tossed in Roscoe’s direction? Give us your best guess in this week’s Caption This.

Good Stretching Exercises
Frankie Suave believes in a healthy lifestyle. Two meals a day. Long, leisurely walks twice a day. A good, long nap in the winter sunshine. And, of course, good stretching exercises after waking up from that nap. In fact, he might still be stretching.
Have a healthy, safe, and festive New Year!

A Brush With Horror
Pardon His Highness Little Prince Typhoon Phooey as he sulks. The humans just don’t understand Royal Needs. Hu-Dad noticed the Little Prince’s haunch was looking a wee bit furry and suggested a brushing. And then he did the unthinkable—he touched the Royal Butt with a brush. An actual brush. And tried to remove excess fur. A Royal Scream was emitted. A Royal Huff is underway. So now His Highness is contemplating his brush with horror.
