Beach Trip – Day One
We were so ready for a walk. Ok, we had a walk near the house before we left, but once loaded in the RV, it is a six-hour drive to the beach. Add a couple of stops at rest areas to exchange pee-mails and a couple of stops for the humans, and it made for…

Sorry that so many of you had hot and humid weather, or, worse, tornados this past weekend. We were fortunate and had a spectacular cool spring weekend: We hiked a portion of the Mountain to Sea Trail , a 1,000 mile long (not completed) hiking trail stretching from Clingman’s Dome on the North Carolina / Tennessee…

Read Today's Herd StoryLessons Learned
Valuable lesson learned today, as demonstrated by Qannik. When you are white and fluffy, you should be careful about where you sit. Like, never sit in a pile of leaves.
