Breakfast in Bed – Again and Again
We mentioned a few weeks ago that Typhoon had decided to have breakfast in bed. He has decided several times since then to repeat his desire to have breakfast in bed and we think we have now uncovered the common trait. As we described before, we are served breakfast on the covered decks at the…
Read Today's Herd StorySunny Synchronized Sleeping
Our morning started off cold and foggy with hoar frost forming on the trees, but the sun broke out about mid-day and gave us a warm afternoon (a high of 36ºF or 2ºC). Any good dog knows that you have to take advantage of those warm, sunny days in the winter by doing the best…
Read Today's Herd StoryBack to the Grind
After a weekend of RV vacationing, it was back to the grind of Monday and the workweek. How do we handle such things? Frankie, of course, considers himself the resident home office dog, always present in the Hu-dad’s study. Of course, Hu-dad thinks that is because Frankie is such a serious dog. Ok, usually such…
Read Today's Herd StoryWould You Trust This Pilot?
Because of the weight and size of an RV, the pilot has to be a safe, courteous driver. Not sure the current volunteer has the skills we are seeking. In addition to the demands of driving, a Herd of Huskies can be quite the vocal critics that can be distracting. P.S. – This is the…
Read Today's Herd StoryExploring the RV
As our shake down weekend continues, we are all enjoying exploring the RV and finding the most fun places. Typhoon has staked his favorite spot: Yes, the human sleeping compartment is actually above the garage, so there are steps from the main living area to the sleeping compartment. Typhoon thought it was great fun to…
Read Today's Herd StoryShake Down
When we heard we were going on a shake down this weekend, we all started practicing. But then the Hu-dad explained not that kind of shake down. Yes, the Hu-dad bought us a new toy – a new RV – and this was the first weekend we have been able to take it out. An RV…
Read Today's Herd StoryLeftovers
The humans seem to have this thing called leftovers, food prepared for a meal but not eaten that is saved for a future meal. To dogs that take great pride in polishing their bowls at every single meal, this concept of leftovers is foreign. Apparently, unlike our food that is carefully measured for every meal,…

The key, on a good winter day, is to find the various warm spots around Chez Herd and enjoy them.
Read Today's Herd StoryReserved Seating
We don’t know about your house, but Hu-dad claims that there is a reserved seating policy in our house. Something about just because he gets up during a movie does not mean that he has relinquished his spot to others. We, of course, disagree. Sure, we expect that a lot of canine households deal with…

Before the latest storm hit, we went out for a nice long walk and visited friends Sunday morning (Yes, this was supposed to be our Monday post, but we were postponed because of Hu-dad’s run-in with those Big Dog Elk that we told you about yesterday). Qannik and Kiska (and Frankie) sure look relaxed here.…
Read Today's Herd StoryReally, Really, Really Big Dogs
Long-time readers know that we talk a lot about our Big Dog neighbors next door at the ranch. We believe you humans refer to them as horses and cows. Yes, they are really big dogs and we love seeing them and saying hello (especially when they block the road and Hu-dad has to move them…
Read Today's Herd StoryDueling Diets
We are the home of dueling diets – Qannik trying to lose weight and Typhoon working on gaining weight. And Saturday was the latest weigh-in day. During his annual exam, Qannik had weighed in at an amazing 64.5 lbs (29.3 kg). He has been working hard on the green bean diet (reducing kibble by about…
