Cheoah just wants to nap and Boom Boom just wants to play. Frustrating redhead conversations for Landon are the only result. Landon is certainly persistent in his attempts to persuade Cheoah to join in some Siberian games. Just like Frankie and Typhoon, he pesters and pesters until she decides to smack them down. But, sometimes,…

Incentive For Waking Up And Getting Moving
Typical fall weather – beautiful one day and back to rainy, foggy the next. And those dreary days don’t leave much incentive for waking up. Cheoah crawled out of bed Sunday morning and headed for the door. Once she saw the rain, clouds and fog, she turned around and headed for the couch. Everyone else…

Just Call Me Unimpressed With Excuses

A simple request for a Film Friday – our most reliable member of The Herd to do something he does every day – until No Fluff Frankie. Every single night – and we mean every night – Frankie Suave races to the human bed and fluffs the pillows and blankets to meet his requirements. With…

Foggy Day Causes Triple Trip Hazard
A thick fog settled over Chez Herd yesterday. We stayed gloomy all day long, so we decided to create a trip hazard for Hu-Dad. Yep, the black and white boys spread themselves out and napped while Hu-Dad worked. Cheoah, Kiska and Qannik took over their crates in the bedroom. The end result is that Hu-Dad…

Sampling Fresh Baked Goods At Chez Herd
Everyone who likes to cook knows that the best part of baking is sampling fresh baked goods in the kitchen. We happen to agree. Amazingly, we are not all allowed in the kitchen when cooking is happening. Some of us have a slight reputation for counter surfing – a violation once again of Hu-Dad’s many…

A Booming Start To The Week
Back at home after a week of S-RV vacation, Cheoah thought Monday would be nice and quiet. Instead, she had a booming start to the week.

Campsite Cleanup Crew Gets Everything
We believe strongly in leaving our campsite cleaner than we found it, which means our campsite cleanup crew gets everything clean. Because we have a long drive on Sunday, we pack most of our belongings in the S-RV Saturday evening. Typhoon was amused watching all of the work (it is that working breed that can…
