There Goes the Neighborhood
One weekend. One lousy weekend. We take off for a vacation, come home, and all sorts of unsavory characters have moved in. Well, maybe savory, but we did not get to taste. Kiska and Natasha were patrolling the fence line when – wait, what was that? Natasha focused in for a closer look. And the…

Woo – Who is that over there? A cousin and his bodyguard We did not go meet them. Our cousin had a ferocious bodyguard, sort of like Huffle has Bazza except that this bodyguard actually made lots of noise and told us to go away. I mean, Huff, where was Bazza during the attack of…

We went on our early morning hike and it was already hot and humid – yuck! Yesterday, our humans drove down into Ozzie territory – we went to the Mall of Georgia. Now, our humans really do not go to malls very often, partially because there aren’t any in our town and we have to…

Read Today's Herd StoryRusty-versary
Five years ago today, Rusty the Rooster came to join our family. We were actually looking at another Siberian from Carolina Siberian Rescue, but when we went to look at Sunshine, Nikita was clear that she did not like him. Disappointed, we kept introducing one Siberian after another and either Nikita or Natasha made clear…
Read Today's Herd StoryQueen Natasha the Evil
When people meet Natasha, she will either be aloof or offer her ears for an appropriate scratching. But everyone sees this pretty girl and wonders why I refer to her as Queen Natasha the Evil. When you see her with the pack and she simply walks through them as they move out of her way,…
