Typhoon Gets Comfy
We’ve had a gorgeous stretch of sunny, warm weather, but it turns stormy today and tomorrow and then cools down for the early part of the week. Typhoon needed to maximize his yard napping while he could, so that is all the explaining we can muster for today’s photo.

Don’t Worry About Who’s Watching
As our weather switches day to day from winter to summer and back, we’ve learned to embrace those sunny, spring days. Roscoe decided a nice roll in the grass was warranted and let his inner puppy take over. Sometimes, you just have to cut loose.

Sleepy Senior Schedule
With Hu-Dad working on his busyness in his study, he expects us to coordinate our break requests to minimize his interruptions. A certain sleepy senior, though, would have been perfectly happy to extend his nap a bit longer. Don’t worry, though, Frankie Suave was back and napping in no time.

Excuses, Excuses
Thanks for all your emails and messages asking if we were okay. High winds yesterday knocked out power for tens of thousands of homes in our area. We lost our power at 4:30 yesterday afternoon and just got it back this morning (Thank you, electric workers!). Hu-Dad kept tripping over us in the dark, but everything is normal here. Well, Siberian crazy normal. Happy Sunday!

Can You Hear The Theme Song?
Wherever the Trouble Brothers venture, mischief will occur. They plot. They plan. They wreak havoc. All they need now is the perfect theme song to follow them wherever they go. What’s your suggestion?

Frankie Suave Lawn Inspection
The trees are covered with buds, the flowers poking their heads above the ground, and the grass is greening. Spring is in the air. Frankie Suave is very interested in proper lawn care, especially the level of tasty bugs and grub. Correction—he meant healthy, not tasty bugs and grub. Right, Frankie? Right?

Too Much To Do
You would think Roscoe could relax and enjoy a beautiful spring evening, but he’s still working to cross everything off his to do list. What else would explain his scurrying from place to place in the backyard?

A Tempting Decision
The Trouble Brothers, Roscoe and Typhoon, take turns launching surprise attacks on each other. Few rules exist in this game except that Hu-Dad insists on not being involved. So Roscoe faced a dilemma. If Hu-Dad is having a discussion with Typhoon, should Roscoe jump at the chance or wait until later? P.S. – Roscoe’s not great in the patience department.

Boom Boom’s Deep Thinking
Sometimes, Hu-Dad catches one of us contemplating the meaning of life. Or, perhaps, wondering why squirrels are so fast. Or meals only come twice a day. Or how many hours a day can we nap. Or…

Feigning Interest
We had another perfect spring evening to sit outside and enjoy the warm temperatures. Well, almost perfect. Hu-Dad was, for the eleventy-seven bazillionth time, explaining to Typhoon the importance of rules, following commands, and being a good dog. The Little Prince can barely pretend to be listening.

A Real Spring Evening
After frigid cold earlier this week (which we liked but the humans didn’t), our weather turned decidedly spring-like yesterday. In fact, it was so nice, Hu-Dad sat outside to read. Don’t worry, though, because we kept security watch to ensure no errant squirrels, rabbits, neighboring canines, or other critters pestered the Hu-Dad.

Library Quiet
In the corner of his study, Hu-Dad has a comfy reading chair. He likes to sit in it for an hour or so every evening with a good book. All he asks is that we play quietly so he can concentrate. He looked up from the pages and saw Roscoe and Typhoon right in front of him, following his request perfectly. Such good dogs.
