Get comfortable? Sure I can get comfortable. See. Stretched out. More relaxed. Too relaxed?
Read Today's Herd StoryCan You See Me Now? Part II
A month ago, Qannik showed you his attempt at hiding in the brush. Many of you were correctly critical that Qannik might be able to hide in a snow bank, but the white fur does not hide him too well in brush. Kiska decided that she also wanted to try the hiding in the brush…
Read Today's Herd StoryCousin Tartok Working Hard
Warning, pups. Our humans went to our hu-grandparents house Saturday night and came back with disturbing stories about how hard our Cousin Tartok is working. Now we know that he, like us, is a member of the Working Dog class, but this amount of effort is totally exhausting. Please don’t attempt this without sufficient training…
Read Today's Herd StoryGood News
Good news for our big boy, Kodiak. Long time readers will remember that when we first adopted Kodiak, we discovered that he was heartworm positive and had to go through the difficult treatment. Fortunately, he came through that with flying colors and began adding weight, topping out around 60 lbs (27 kg). When we entered…
Read Today's Herd StoryCheoah Growing Up
Looking through some pictures of last weekend, I realized that “little” Cheoah is really maturing. We think she is two years old now and still has much puppy exuberance, but she is learning to be much calmer on the drop line. As evidenced below: Don’t I look all calm and relaxed? Bouncy? Me? Never. Sitting…

Read Today's Herd StoryCampbell Station Park – Farragut, Tennessee
Saturday afternoon found us out in the west side of Knoxville, Tennessee. We needed to find somewhere to burn some energy off of The Herd (despite their morning walk and their evening walk – they needed a midday walk). So we stopped at Campbell Station Park in Farragut, Tennessee. Very nice little park with a…

An experience that any human should have at least once: You wake up. It is 6 a.m. You know perfectly well that if you move, change your breathing pattern, or open an eye, six Siberian Huskies will immediately start clamoring for attention. You try to remain still and continue to pretend to be asleep. This…
Read Today's Herd StoryNorris Dam
Well, nice to be back home and have access to the internet again (since our hu-dad so carefully left the house without his laptop card). That just means that we will spend this week’s posts telling you about our adventure this weekend. We took off for Norris Dam State Park. Yes, we have been there…
