April 24, 2009 |

Once again, Cheoah was able to go with us over to my parents and visit her good buddy Tartok.  Here is a video of her evening.

Nantahala River

April 23, 2009 |

We went down to one of our favorite spots, the Nantahala River, Sunday afternoon. We figured between the drizzling rain and the late Sunday afternoon, we would have the river mostly to ourselves. We were right and everyone had a blast, particularly Cheoah who is ever so appropriately named after the Cherokee word for Otter.…

Downhill

April 22, 2009 |

Several weeks ago, the Op Pack asked, “When do we get to see the trek back down” (as opposed to all of our hikes uphill or on flat ground)?  We answered in this post that, “Our humans say our pulling is very helpful up the hill, but pulling downhill is not as helpful.  They require…

Lessons Learned

April 21, 2009 |

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.  And, more importantly, never let the human with the camera walk behind you after you sit in the leaves.  If you do, embarrassing pictures like these may appear…

Oh, Brother!

April 20, 2009 |

Brothers can be such pains.  Here I was enjoying the window all to myself, when Qannik tried to squeeze his way into my window.  Notice I have the perfectly placed elbow in his jaw to hold him back. And now let’s try the butt shove and push him away. He will not go away.  Just…

Fame and Infamy

April 19, 2009 |

As we predicted, yesterday was an absolutely gorgeous day and we did get to go for lots of hiking, as shown by Cheoah, Kodiak and Rusty: But, we also got to meet a celebrity.  Our hu-dad told us to be quiet and not to “squeal like a pig.”  Huh? P.S. – Actually, we mentioned Cowboy…

Sunrise

April 18, 2009 |

Here is a picture from last Sunday morning as we were getting ready to go on our hike around the lake.  I enjoyed the way the mist was rising off of the lake and Kodiak and Cheoah were just entering the picture frame: And further around the lake, there was this view: But mostly, I…

Innocent?

April 17, 2009 |

Natasha here.  Can we talk?   Yesterday, there was a discussion by Cheoah about how innocent she was.  Frankly, we noticed that that was the third post this week about her.  And she played this puppy dog innocent look up to make her case more sympathetic.  Ok, I may be the Queen of Evil, but…

Innocence

April 16, 2009 |

About that water incident the other day.  Can we talk? I believe you left all of our dog (and cat) friends out there with the wrong impression that I can cause trouble.  I mean, seriously, do you think it took me 15 minutes to get that much water all over the dog room and, well,…

This past weekend, we took the S-RV to Warrior Path State Park just outside of Kingsport, Tennessee.  Our Walking Wednesday video is from the path around the lake there.  Hope you enjoy:

Was reviewing the pictures from this weekend and ran across this one of Kodiak and Cheoah on the dropline.
