Walking Wednesday – Rattlesnake Lodge

Read Today's Herd StoryPizza Run
Sunday, after a day of lots of hiking, we were all headed home. We were very sleepy in the back of the Jeep and overheard the humans discussing their dinner plans. They were too tired to cook dinner, so said that they would stop for pizza at one of their favorite places if the best…

Wooo – we are really trying to make this a regular feature. So we scanned the October comments and questions and replied to the best ones. Teddy Bear asked, “Where do all you lovely Sibes slumber?” We have to keep the humans company, of course, so we all sleep in the bedroom. Natasha sleeps on…

Read Today's Herd StoryRuby’s Chair
Over at The Thundering Herd Annex (our hu-grandparents house), Tartok was always the angelic Siberian that never gets onto furniture. Ruby has no such inhibition. In fact, she has claimed a blue arm chair in the den as her personal chair. Just one problem. Not all of the humans respect that that is HER chair.…

Our humans went over to our hu-grandparents again Saturday night which meant they got to see Ruby and Tartok, our cousins of The Thundering Herd Annex.
