Can We Be Guilty Of Too Much Fun?

August 24, 2017 |

Sometimes, Hu-Dad becomes a wee bit suspicious that we might be having too much fun. Wonder why he would think that today? Typhoon came running up with a big silly grin plastered on his face. Hu-Dad kept asking over and over what the Little Prince had been up to, but Ty continue to proclaim innocence.…

Cheoah’s Pest – Up Close And Personal

August 23, 2017 |

The Herd has settled into quite comfortable pairings – Kiska and Qannik; Frankie and Boom Boom; Cheoah and her pest, Typhoon. Hu-Dad was sitting on the deck brushing Cheoah – one of her favorite activities – when Typhoon came bounding up. He never really worries what others are up to when he announces his own…

Beware The Post-Eclipse Food Thief

August 22, 2017 |

After yesterday’s eclipse, Hu-Dad had to fend off a post-eclipse food thief who apparently thought he might be a little blinded from looking at the sun. Be right on the edge of totality for the eclipse, we settled down for afternoon naps while the Hu-Dad ventured into the path of totality. He was accompanied by…

The Reason For The Refusal

August 20, 2017 |

When you look at how sweet Frankie Suave and his little brother Boom Boom are, you have to wonder why the refusal yesterday to model. If you enjoyed yesterday’s post, you probably wonder why everyone did not participate. All the photos of Qannik were a giant white (fluffy) blur as he shook his head furiously…

Solar Eclipse Glasses Model Failure

August 19, 2017 |

Our Hu-Dad needed us to model some solar eclipse glasses for a story. We were not the most cooperative photography subjects. Hu-Dad had noticed a number of posts on social media about the need to keep dogs inside to protect their eyes during Monday’s eclipse. Now, there is no need to do so for a…

Displeasure Over Rain Delay

August 17, 2017 |

Yesterday afternoon, we had multiple waves of small rain storms cross our mountain causing some displeasure over the rain delay. After each storm passed, Landon would venture out into the yard to explore and play, but then get chased back to the porch when the next set of showers started. No real lightning or thunder,…

Capturing Typhoon’s Attention

August 16, 2017 |

Hu-Dad was working away in his study when he realized something moving outside the window was capturing Typhoon’s attention. One of the horse trails for Cataloochee Ranch goes in front of our house, so it is not unusual for horses and riders to traipse by. Horses are quite interesting, of course, but Typhoon is not…

Topsy-Turvy Dinner Hosting

August 13, 2017 |

The Tuxedo Man himself, our cousin Tartok, was quite the topsy-turvy host for Hu-Dad’s visit to Hu-Grandmom’s last night. Tartok was an up close and personal host while dinner was being set, but once he realized the humans planned to hog it all for themselves, he ventured off to his corner of the deck. This…
