The Head Tilt
Frankie’s nickname, Mr. Suave, comes from his calm demeanor, his unflappable ways (well, except for thunder), and his incredible knack for finding ways to get the humans to do his bidding. Hu-Dad wasn’t quite moving fast enough to open the door and let Frankie escape back to his comfy, warm bed, so he threw in the head tilt for emphasis. Yes, it worked.

HoverSibe Engaged
We often explained that Landon has springs in his paws, the bouncy kangaroo antics that give him the nickname Boom Boom. When he really wants to fly, though he needs the HoverSibe engaged. Note no paws touching the ground and sonic Boom Boom speed has been achieved.

Dear Weatherman
Dear weatherman. Dogs here. We haven’t had any snow this year and all it’s done is rain. Can you fix our weather please? We suffered through yet another rainy day Thursday. Our ground is soggy and so are we canines. We don’t care what the groundhog said yesterday, but we’re ready for some better weather.

Royal Disdain
Hu-Dad issued a command for “All Dogs” to go inside the house. The others responded, but His Royal Highness Little Prince Typhoon Phooey ignored the request. When Hu-Dad followed up with the comment, “I meant you too,” this was the look for the Little Prince. Apparently, he was waiting on a special invitation.

Radar Lock
Is there any doubt that Roscoe is focused? The eyes have locked into their target and the tail points the way. A Hu-Dad mugging will occur in just a few seconds, so the photo had to be quick.

Mesmerized
We love spending time with our Hu-Dad, especially when he is absorbed in his busyness. We are gripped by his work effort and couldn’t be more enthralled. One need only take one look at Landon and know exactly how mesmerized we are.

Frankie’s New Friend
While his brothers raced around the yard in their daily antics, Frankie decided this statuary was a bit more his speed. In fact, it’s slower than most of its similar looking cousins, but Mr. Suave was fine with that too. They hung out for a while while the youngsters romped and played.

Professional Jealousy
We see lots of wildlife during our twice-daily walks, but nothing excites Typhoon more than rabbits. As long-time readers know, the Little Prince chased down many a bunny in his youth. Despite being 11 now, he thinks he still can. When a hawk swooped in front of us on the trail and snagged a rabbit, Typhoon thought he’d been robbed. Pardon the Royal tantrum, but he’s been outfoxed. Er, out-hawked.

Royal Errands
His Royal Highness Little Prince Typhoon Phooey is much too important to be bothered by little household rules like obeying the Hu-Dad. He simply has too many critical tasks to accomplish every day to deal with such minor details.

Art Appreciation
Frankie Suave is a sophisticated dog. Though he must put up with the antics of his crass younger brothers, he always takes a few moments to enjoy special things in life—like a little sculpture.

Mesmerizing Sunset
Yesterday, we shared a photo of Frankie and Landon distracted by scurrying squirrels. Instead of repeating that message today, we present this photo and ask if Typhoon is watching the sun sinking in the sky. Or, maybe, yes, it’s squirrels again. We prefer the magical answer.
