Reinforcements Arrive
The Thundering Herd Annex arrived today. Yep, Cousins Tartok and Ruby joined us in Chattanooga. Well, not exactly joined us since they are staying INSIDE a motel room. Probably living it up in King Size beds each with lots of fluffy pillows and room service and Animal Planet 24 hours a day and everything. But…

How is that for a title? But it does sum up a very long day. We took off this morning for the Chickamauga Battlefield, as recommended by our pals Scout and Freyja. It was great because there were lots and lots of trails. The coolest part though was that Natasha was able to pick out…

Guess what we woke up to? Sunshine! Many of you may be shrugging and saying, “so what?”, but those of us in the Southeastern U.S. are very excited because that means the rains finally stopped. Fantastic! We got in a really good walk before leaving Big Ridge State Park: Rusty walked the wall on the…

Cheoah here. Can I tell you about our day on Saturday? I have to tell you about the day, not show you, because the humans were worried about getting camera equipment wet.

We took one last look off of our front porch at the colors starting to appear on the trees: Why one last look? We will not see it for over a week and no telling how much the leaves will have changed colors. Let’s see if Cheoah’s face tells you why we will not see…
Read Today's Herd StoryComments and Questions
We did a post on reader’s comments and questions last month and received a lot of good feedback about it, so we thought we would do it again. Who knows, maybe it will become a monthly feature? But, then again, we are Siberians and we don’t like to be predictable. Regardless, make sure you ask…

As most of you know, we travel in a Jeep Wrangler Unlimited (the 4-door kind). All dogs are carefully seat belted in for their safety, but occupants of other cars only see The Herd in the back of a Jeep. Amazingly, we draw all sorts of reactions. Here is one that was just too funny:…

Despite Rusty the Rooster’s reputation as the class clown, we present photographic proof of Rusty the Refined.
Read Today's Herd StoryRainy Sundays
Wow, how is it ever been raining this weekend. We have had measurable rainfall (according to our hu-dad’s weather station) 18 days in a row and over 3 inches of rain since Friday morning. We would consider building a Siberian Ark, but we had a great distraction Sunday instead. Bully Sticks!!! Sorry for the blurry…

Read Today's Herd StoryFriday Night TV
We did something very rare last night – we watched TV (Fringe, which just really hits my weird tastes). So all we wanted to do is sit down, get comfortable, have a little quiet, and watch TV. Try that with a Herd living in a house. I am so glad I have Tivo so I…
