While we were out yesterday, Natasha was working hard to track down the Snow Thief. Here she is following the Snow Thief’s scent: Unfortunately, the trail ran cold. Er, warm. Oh, whatever:

Wow. It got much, much hotter yesterday than predicted – 80°F (27°C) in the valley according to weather.com – just 1 degree off of our record high for the day. Considering that a week ago, we were walking in snow, this is weird. Our low this morning of 34°F (1°C) was higher than our highs…

Happy Saturday to everyone. An absolutely gorgeous day here with lots of sun and a high in the 60’s predicted (almost 20 C), so we are headed out to go hiking and enjoy a nearly spring day. True, we preferred last week’s snow, but the humans seem really energetic today, so we better take them…

Ok, not really, but the title sounds good. The story is simple. Our hu-dad’s parents went down to see our hu-aunt and uncle and, importantly, our little hu-nephew (is that all clear???). Forget it – ignore all of this human stuff, and focus on the really important thing – our cousin Tartok went to…
Read Today's Herd StorySigh . . . Rain
We have rain. Lots and lots of rain. 1.6 inches (4cm) in the last 24 hours, so the Herd is expressing its total boredom right now. Rusty, Kodiak, Cheoah (er, cleaning herself) and Qannik (or, Qannik’s ears and body) on the porch Rusty and Kodiak in the dog room (they swear not their wet…
