Protecting a Reputation

May 13, 2009 |

The Op Pack said something really awful the other day.  Don’t you remember.  They said, “But don’t let Natasha fool you, she really isn’t as evil as her humans make her out to be.”  Well, Natasha is scrambling to protect her reputation as Queen Natasha the Evil.  She wants to make sure we share the…

Adventures with Ari

May 12, 2009 |

Because of my work, the vast majority of reading I do is work related.  But every now and then, I find a non-work related book that just grabs my attention.  Adventures with Ari: A Puppy, A Leash, and Our Year Outdoors by Kathryn Miles is one of those books. I just finished the book yesterday and…

Introducing a Friend

May 11, 2009 |

Qannik is so incredibly honored.  He – and the rest of The Herd – were introduced in a very touching tribute on the Op Pack’s blog just yesterday.  Since he is such a fan of his older twin Dakota, he is almost embarrassed with all of the fuss: Here is the deal.  Daisy had a birthday and…

Happy Mom’s Day

May 10, 2009 |

We often get the question as to why we have six Siberian Huskies.  My usual answer is, because I don’t have room for seven.  Of course, my answer to why we had three used to be that we didn’t have room for four. Regardless, we recognize that taking six dogs somewhere can be a handful.…

Punishment

May 9, 2009 |

This picture is our proof: Yep, that would be sunrise.  On a Saturday morning.  The Saturday the humans planned to sleep in a little.  Until we had a big wrestling match.  On the bed.  With them in the bed.  Amazingly, we got invited to “go outside.”  But it was too late.  They were awake.  And…

Shame

May 8, 2009 |

We blame this on our human assistant.  Seriously, we are all way too cute to actually make a mistake on our own and the bi-peds are clearly inferior to our intellect and skills.  After all, they go “work” every day so that they can earn enough money to feed us, entertain us, transport us, etc.…

Charleston

May 7, 2009 |

As a part of our beach excursion, we went to Charleston, SC, last Friday.  We started out by playing in White Point Gardens (commonly known as Battery Park): And then we went talking along the brick streets: But, finally, we rounded our way down East Bay Street along the Cooper River and back up Murray…

Waves and Wednesday

May 6, 2009 |

Since we went to the beach last weekend, we know everyone has been anticipating the Walking Wednesday Beach Edition, so here it is. Enjoy:

Whining

May 5, 2009 |

Whining is a very specialized art that must be practiced.  Since each member of The Herd adds their own unique talents to the group, Cheoah has been elected as Whiner-in-Chief.  Not just because she can be loud – and she can be loud, but because she has incredible persistence.  The video proof:

End of Beach Trip

May 4, 2009 |

We were really not trying to copy the same joke from just last week.  Rusty was actually giving us a very serious pose that we were planning to use for a totally different purpose (and may yet do so).  But this picture is just too perfect. So, Rusty, what do you think about ending the…

Beach Trip – Day Three

May 3, 2009 |

Can I tell you about our day? Sure, I could show you pictures of us walking on the beach and will do that before the end of the post.  But, first, here is something we found far more interesting.  The State Park Service has built a walkway between the camping area to the beach to…

Close Supervision

May 2, 2009 |

We knew that a lot of pups wanted to keep track of our beach weekend, but this is ridiculous.  After a long and eventful day (apparently, there are pictures of us in Historic Charleston again that may appear later in the week), we were taking a quiet and leisurely stroll down the beach at sunset.…
