It’s Coming

September 17, 2009 |

Notice just a little bit of color among all of the green? Some yellows and reds creeping in? The leaves curling and yellowing from the cool mornings? The bright red berries from the Mountain Ash? We are not really sure when it started, but as we have started looking around, we have noticed the first…

Substitute Navigator

September 16, 2009 |

We have told you before how Natasha is our resident navigator.  Her seat belt is immediately behind the passenger seat of the Jeep so that she can move between “her” window (shared with Rusty who only gets the window when she does not want it) and the middle of the front seat where she can…

Outnumbered Herd

September 15, 2009 |

We felt outnumbered.  Seriously, just like our human.  Something about he was so busy this weekend that he did not check in on everyone’s blogs, so he logged in Sunday night and discovered that many of you wrote a lot.  Wowsers.  He said never again.  He will never fall behind again.  Well, unless of course,…

New Friend on the Trail

September 14, 2009 |

What a beautiful fall weekend.  The air was a little crisp, but the rains let up and we were able to enjoy lots of hiking.  Woooos for that. At one of our spots this weekend, we got to meet this handsome fellow.  Unfortunately, our hu-dad totally forgot the boys name.  He remembers that he is…

Ranch Life

September 10, 2009 |

We told you earlier this week that we were visiting the ranch above our house.  They obviously knew we were coming because as we entered the ranch, there was a greeting committee. Trust us when we say that these were very big and, well, smelly dogs.  By the way, notice everyone in the sideview mirror…

Nearly a National Crisis

September 9, 2009 |

Enjoying the long weekend, our humans were able to get a parking space in front of one of their favorite downtown Waynesville dining spots for lunch on Monday.  Smoky Mountain Cafe is right on Main Street and our humans even scored an outdoor table so they were able to eat just a few feet away…

Terribly Tardy Tuesday

September 8, 2009 |

We have complained before about the lousy service we get from our human staff.  Here we were enjoying our holiday weekend when we casually asked them about the thank you post to Lucky Luke and Bleu.  You know, for his  500th post winner.  The silence was deafening.  Uh, you remember that giant package that we…

Cloudy Day Views

September 7, 2009 |

The weather has been cool, but with some showers a couple of times a day.  We woke up Sunday morning to low hanging clouds and a drizzly rain.  While that may not appeal to everyone, we really enjoy the weather – especially the views off of our front porch.  Don’t you love the clouds clinging…

Has it Been a Week?

September 6, 2009 |

Has it really been a week since Ruby came to live with our Cousin Tartok?  Our humans went by there last night, and brought us a few pictures.  Sounds like The Herd Annex is continuing to, well, nap a whole lot. Ruby – You looking at me? Tartok – Can you tell I am trying…
