The Little Prince’s Expressive Face
Our resident Little Prince, Typhoon, has the most expressive face as he shows his disdain to Hu-Dad’s suggestions for better behavior. Typhoon has long believed that the rules that apply to the rest of The Herd do not apply to him. While Siberian Huskies are notorious for their ability to disregard orders that don’t benefit…

A Little Rain Requires A Little Explaining
A little rain started falling yesterday afternoon on Chez Herd which required a little explaining from the Hu-Dad, who is held responsible for all weather.

Breakfast Dance – Film Friday
With Frankie eating his meals out of his crate while he recovers from surgery, we can produce a Film Friday showing off his breakfast dance. Normally, everypup eats their meals inside their crates on the deck. We do that so everyone can take their time eating without worrying that a neighbor might covet their food,…

Sheltering From The Brutal Wind
Strong winds gusted across our mountaintop and joined our below freezing temperatures, so Hu-Dad found us sheltering from the brutal wind. Now, we Siberian Huskies are known for our ability to withstand cold temperatures and wintry conditions, but there is a big difference from playing in snow drifts and facing 30-40 mile an hour winds.…

Exhausting Effect of Snow
The Siberian Snow games are continuing around Chez Herd, though Hu-Dad seems to smile at the exhausting effect of playing in the snow. Romping and playing in the snow consumes lots of Siberian energy. Hu-Dad says that is a really good thing except for the fact that it creates lots of trip hazards in his…

Different Day, Same Game
When you are a young Siberian Husky and have snow on the ground, it may be a different day, but you are playing the same game. The youngest member of The Herd has been non-stop in his play in the snow. He has raced, rolled and bounded through the fluffy snow and shows no sign…

Caught In An Undignified Moment
Some pup had gone to the far end of Sibe Quentin to avoid being caught in an undignified moment, but Hu-Dad’s telephoto lens misses little. Fresh snow is one of the greatest pleasures known to Siberian Huskies, so even the most serious can be found rolling in its fluffiness. This particular moment of ecstasy has…
