Siberian Recreational Vehicle
The bi-ped caretakers have grumbled a lot about how difficult it is to go anywhere for a weekend because of The Herd. That’s right, amazingly, they sometimes want to be somewhere other than at the house taking care of 6 Siberians every night. Boarding The Herd is pretty expensive, we have had some bad experiences…
Read Today's Herd StoryFavorite Signs of the Blue Ridge Parkway
We are blessed to live near the Blue Ridge Parkway. The road courses through the highest mountains of the Eastern U.S. through Virginia and North Carolina. I have posted some of the scenery and trails, but today I wanted to share the signs. First, my favorite sign warning motorcyclists about the dangers of sharp curves:…
Read Today's Herd StoryA Sibe is a Sibe
I had to stop at my favorite pet supply store yesterday because I had to pick up new fleece crate liners (heaven forbid that The Herd actually just sleep on a blanket – only fleece for their fluffy butts). When I parked the car and got out, I saw a beautiful white Sibe with blue…

Sorry for the picture, but here is a cell phone picture taken early this morning of the driveway on the way to work. As you can tell, a fairly light snowfall, but the furkids had a blast in it.

First, our apologies for not posting over the weekend, but we were a little busy. More to come on that later, but let’s just say that we decided that the Siberian Utility Vehicle works great for day trips, but we needed something a little larger for those longer trips. Stay tuned. And, yes, we owe everyone…
Read Today's Herd StoryPanoramics and an Unimpressed Herd
I was filming one of those panoramic views like this: I was impressed with the clear skies, the long range views, and the fading colors of the leaves. The Herd, however, was totally unimpressed as evidenced by this: It’s a very tough crowd to impress.

To join those who post Walking Wednesdays, here is a short video of The Herd:
Read Today's Herd StoryPoor Rusty
Rule of thumb for a dog. Any ride by yourself can not be a good thing. I went downstairs, put on Rusty’s seat belt and leash, and loaded him into the Jeep. He was really excited until it hit him that he was alone. Then he gave me the “uh-oh” look: And why was he getting…
Read Today's Herd StorySleepy Time
A little over 7 miles (11 km) on some steep, rocky trails yesterday, so the dogs were good and tired at the end of the day. Just a few pictures from last night in the den, starting with Kodiak who would not even raise his head to look at me: Next, Qannik who not only…
Read Today's Herd StoryWalking is Too Slow
The air is crisp and cool, which means The Herd has entirely too much energy. So, sometimes, walking is not quite enough for The Herd. So here is video of The Herd jogging on an abandoned road (sorry for the video quality – it looks a little like Cloverfield or The Blair Witch Project, but…
Read Today's Herd StoryComments & Questions
We were catching up on all of the questions and comments posted this week, and thought we would answer a few of them: Digging Holes Kat (which is one of my favorite Siberian names and I plan to “borrow” it some day) of Steve and Kat fame asks about the Journey to the Center of…
Read Today's Herd StoryFall Friday – Technical Problem
Each Friday for the past few weeks, we have shared the view from our front porch so that you can see the progression of the fall colors: Friday September 26 Friday October 3 Friday October 10 But, we have a technical problem today: No, the mountain did not suddenly disappear or collapse into Kodiak’s hole.…
