There I was face to face with a Kiska Kougar

Surprise Attention From A Kiska Kougar

November 4, 2017 |

Typhoon claims he didn’t do anything to cause any of this unwarranted attention, but a Kiska Kougar has been stalking him all week. At home, Kiska’s interactions with Typhoon usually involve her yelling at him to SLOW DOWN! Because of their age difference, they don’t hang out a lot together, but that has changed this…

Surrounded By Thundering Herd Fans

November 3, 2017 |

Even in our quiet, peaceful campsite on an S-RV vacation, we are surrounded by Thundering Herd fans. Photographic evidence! Some of you might complain that we had a misleading title to today’s blog post, but those are our fans. We carry them in the S-RV and set them up on camping trips. Hu-Dad says they…

Many readers have asked for an update on Miss Kiska and how she is handling the beach, so here is a quick S-RV vacation seniors update. To accommodate our seniors – Kiska and Qannik – on vacation, we take frequent shorter walks with them. They both handle the walks quite well and manage the steps…

Incognito Cousins On An S-RV Vacation

November 1, 2017 |

Our cousins, Tartok and Ruby, have joined us on the S-RV vacation,but they are taking the trip incognito so no one assumes they are with us. Hu-Dad tried to sneak next door and catch some photographs of our cousins, Tartok and Ruby, as we enjoyed our S-RV (Siberian Recreational Vehicle) vacation, but they seemed to…

Decorating Our Campsite Just Like Home

October 31, 2017 |

When we are on an S-RV vacation, we enjoy decorating our campsite to remind us of home – maybe a little more than Hu-Dad appreciates. After spending the day on some excursions and other adventures, we retired to some quiet time in our campsite. Hu-Dad’s rules are that we have to be quiet (believe it…

Typhoon Is Doing Vacation In Reverse

October 30, 2017 |

Sometimes, when a vacation ends, you wish you could go back and do it all over again. Isn’t that the same thing as doing it in reverse? The Little Prince has always marched to his own drummer, but the fact he marches backwards is the most amusing part. His brothers and sisters, however, have long…

A Little Rain Must Fall – Even On Vacation

October 29, 2017 |

We are off on a little RV vacation where we learned an important law of nature – a little rain must fall especially when we are out for a walk. Yes, we have taken off on a little S-RV adventure. But get this – it is supposed to snow at the house today. That’s right.…

Finding The Best Sun Spots

October 28, 2017 |

The fireplace has been popular, but we also gravitate to the best sun spots for proper canine baking during cool weather. After a couple of cold days, our weather has returned to a more normal fall temperature pattern. Breezy and cool is about perfect, especially when you can locate a nice sunny situation to keep…

Flickering Fire – Film Friday

October 27, 2017 |

Our weather has turned cold enough for Hu-Dad to open the fireplace and build a flickering fire – perfect for this week’s Film Friday (and a certain redhead). Not all of our videos are action packed – and this one certainly qualifies. A cold day outside, a flickering fire in the fireplace, and a certain…

Boom Boom’s Deep Thoughts

October 26, 2017 |

As the run was rising over the horizon yesterday morning, Hu-Dad noticed that Boom Boom was having deep thoughts for the day. Of course, the real question is what is he contemplating? How many times he should bounce through the yard? Exactly when will breakfast be served? Whether he should wrestle with his big brother, red…

October 25, 2017 |

After a couple of days of rest and relaxation, we are happy to report our Security Chief patrolling the grounds of Chez Herd once again. We thought we would share some photographic proof that Miss Kiska is quite mobile again.  She is happy to be outside and enjoying our return of sunshine. She even led…

How About Some Kiska Good News?

October 24, 2017 |

After a couple of scary and trying days, we are very happy to report some Kiska good news after a visit with our veterinarian. After a string of clear, autumn days, Mother Nature decided to throw some turbulent, stormy weather our way. Since Hu-Dad was still using the sling to protect Kiska if she fell,…
