June 24, 2009 |

Is running with K & R in the Rockies like running with The Herd in the Smokies? If this was Life with Dogs, we would have cute little balloon thoughts. Which does Bricey think is a worse first name – Snowflake (me) or Boris (Rusty)? Mostly, I am thinking of my beautiful twin sister Dakota.  My special…

Most of you have heard this news, but on the off chance you have not – we interrupt our regularly scheduled blog  . . . A Siberian Husky is a unique dog in one very frustrating way – we are an incredible escape artist.  We can climb fences, dig giant holes and even unweave fence…

Rusty-versary

June 22, 2009 |

Five years ago today, Rusty the Rooster came to join our family.  We were actually looking at another Siberian from Carolina Siberian Rescue, but when we went to look at Sunshine, Nikita was clear that she did not like him.  Disappointed, we kept introducing one Siberian after another and either Nikita or Natasha made clear…

June 21, 2009 |

When people meet Natasha, she will either be aloof or offer her ears for an appropriate scratching.  But everyone sees this pretty girl and wonders why I refer to her as Queen Natasha the Evil. When you see her with the pack and she simply walks through them as they move out of her way,…

The Revolt is Over

June 16, 2009 |

Thanks for all of your emails yesterday, but just wanted to be clear.  No, The Herd did not revolt (they need us humans to deliver their food and scratch ears).  The squirrels did not invade.  The mountains did not collapse.  And the mounds of shedding hair did not clog our computers.  It was far more…

How to Relax

June 15, 2009 |

Before you try to emulate these pictures, we need to advise you that The Thundering Herd is a professional group of Siberians.  It takes years of training in order to perfect the events that you see depicted below.  So go slowly, pace yourself, and don’t be surprised if you can not quite achieve these stupendous…

Trippy Trap Bridges
