All Business
Rainy weather arrived here in Asheville. Fortunately, we got both of our walks in before it started, but the evening turnout wasn’t so lucky. Frankie Suave demonstrated to his younger brothers how to be all business when it comes to doing business. That’s the face of concentration. He got back inside before any rain settled on his fur.

Not Touching The Bird Bath
We have this little marble bird bath with little marble, decorative birds sitting on a table in our backyard. In a total coincidence, two of the little birds moved while Landon was in the vicinity, but he says it must have been the wind. He absolutely, positively was not touching them.

Waiting In The Rain
Yes, we had yet another rainy day which makes, based on our best estimate, eleventy-seven bazillion days in a row. We might need to double-check that number to be sure. Regardless, Frankie Suave would like to remind the Hu-Dad that waiting in the rain for the door to be opened is not his favorite thing. Don’t worry, though, he will calmly wait until the humans figure it out. All part of being Suave.

This Pillow Needs Fluffing
When Hu-Dad is working on his busyness, he asks that we find a comfortable location and nap. Landon thought he had located the balance between proximity and comfort, but the neck support wasn’t quite as solid as expected. Or too solid might describe it better.

Rainy Thoughts
Why has our warm sunshine abandoned us this week? How many puddles can I splash through during our walks? Why can’t I dig giant holes in the mud just because the clumsy humans fall in them? Will I be subjected to the towel again rather than being able to share this glorious rain wherever I shake? Why is Hu-Dad pointing a camera at me rather than feeding me treats?

Lost In Translation
A moment of connection. Landon looked straight at Hu-Dad. The human spoke. Rules blah blah blah and expected behavior blah blah blah and normal dogs blah blah blah. Let’s just say the conversation was lost in translation because Boom Boom went right back to Boom Booming around the yard.

A Disgruntled Prince
The Hu-Dad is working against a series of deadlines this week, and he almost forgot to make our post for today. He needed a smiling face from the closest pup for the story. Typhoon was nearest and smiling is not his natural face. So, instead, you get a disgruntled prince.

Hu-Dad Is Fibbing
Hu-Dad can tell a story, but they sure are whoppers! He claims that some deer were on the other side of our fence just a few feet away and neither one of us saw or smelled them. Oh, sure, he did suddenly decide we needed to go inside the house, but when he tried to tell us why, we knew he was fibbing. We are mighty hunters, so absolutely no way did it happen. Right?

Not A Poker Face
When Siberian mischief happens around Chez Herd, Hu-Dad asks if anyone has any knowledge of what transpired. Some of us might be better than others when it comes to looking innocent, but Roscoe is not the head of the class. Let’s face it—that is not a poker face.

Coming In Close
Hu-Dad has so many responsibilities around the house. Feeding us. Walking us. Entertaining us. Taking photos of us. He requires diligent supervision to ensure he remains focused on our every need, so when he sat down outside with the camera in his hand, Typhoon was concerned he was slacking off so was coming in close for an inspection. Gotta watch those humans, you know.

Being Boom Boom
We were hanging out in the backyard when Hu-Dad realized Landon was out of sight. For some odd reason, Hu-Dad associates such behavior with mischief. When Landon reappeared, he claimed total innocence and assured everyone he was just being Boom Boom.

Frankie Suave Supervision
As the elder statesman of Chez Herd, Frankie Suave has one simple rule for his younger brothers—don’t involve him in their games. As long as they obey that, they can do anything they want under the careful supervision of his soulful brown eyes.
