King of Mischief
I grabbed the camera last night because a massive game of tag / zoomies had broken out. Rusty was the instigator, but soon there was a swirling mass of fur racing around the den, out onto the porch and back, wooing at full lung power. And where was Rusty after starting this fracas? Laying on…

Abuse, we tell you, abuse. You see, we have to sit before we get our breakfast. And sit after the food is on the ground before we are told, “Ok.” It is absolute torture, trust us, to have food in front of you but having to wait. This morning, it went to a totally new…

We shared with you recently Natasha’s shedding pictures. She was quite incensed that we would display her unkept look, so, as a Sibe, she wants to make sure that we share pictures of her sister, Kiska. Kiska is particularly challenging because she is a wooly coat. So when she sheds, you get lots and lots…

Why, of course, we had visitors. Unfortunately, despite all of the comments, Holly did not come and visit us. We did get a very gracious email from Holly yesterday and thank her for that.

Ok, pay attention. We have a simple lesson in how to freak the humans out. When you are on a hike in a particularly remote part of the woods, suddenly alert to a sound that you heard – but the humans did not – and stand transfixed. Stare intently into the deep woods and sniff…

Stormy of the A04 will be so proud of this picture. Kodiak is eyeing a bird, Rusty is looking for cool stuff in the weeds, and Cheoah is grinning at the camera.

In our wash-out of hiking on Sunday, we hiked on the greenway through the Waynesville City Park, which is a pleasant stroll along Richland Creek. After a few years of drought, all of the rain has really helped in the area, though the creeks are running very full. The Red Team particularly likes this section…
