Brotherly Difference – Typhoon & Landon
A couple of small episodes yesterday highlighted the brotherly difference between our youngest siblings – Typhoon and Landon. We often talk about the similarities between Landon and Typhoon. They both enjoy racing about the yard chasing rabbits, birds, and other unfortunate creatures. They both enjoy pestering their sister, Cheoah, and respect their big brother, Frankie.…

Foggy Evening Decisions For Boom Boom
After a day of steady rain, the clouds settled over our mountain. Landon faced foggy evening decisions thanks to a pair of rabbits. A pair of rabbits grazed just outside the fence of Sibe Quentin. Spying the duo, Landon took off to provide them with a standard Siberian Husky welcome. Hearing the thundering paws coming…

Boom Boom Bounding – Film Friday
In order to produce our daily posts, Hu-Dad needs us to behave long enough for a few photographs. But some of us don’t have much patience in posing. Oh, say, Landon, who much prefers bounding around the yard rather than sitting still for a few pictures. Who wants to sit still? Hu-Dad set out to…

Race, Run, Trot, Walk, Whew
Funny thing as you get older – distances seem to grow. Qannik was coming up from the back yard and the speed went from race to run to trot to walk. Hu-Dad says he can totally relate. Things he used to do with a bounce in his step now require just a wee bit more…

Goblins Under The Dining Table
Hu-Dad has long suspected that Chez Herd is haunted! He leaves things in one room and then finds them carried to another room. And those objects not only are moved, by they are covered in a gooey slime (sort of like dog slobber). Now, he has photographic proof of actual goblins under the dining table!…

Refusing The Great Outdoors
Posing canines for photographs is challenging enough, so Hu-Dad suggested that Cheoah enjoy the great outdoors and natural light. Her response? Capturing photographs of six Siberian Huskies on a daily basis is not the easiest task in chronicling our story. Speedy dogs like Landon and Typhoon require the Hu-Dad to use a fast shutter speed…

Be Observant – Never Miss A Thing
When you are as observant as our Chief of Security Miss Kiska, you never miss a thing. Well, you almost never miss anything. Hu-Dad heard Miss Kiska woo a soft warning. Not one of her “all hands on deck” alarms, but a gentle warning to some distant foe. He stepped to the door and saw…

Siberian Husky House Party
Hu-Dad was hosting a house party for the Friends of the Haywood County Animal Shelter, but we weren’t invited to hang out inside with the guests. Our county is building a brand new, state of the art animal shelter and a private group is raising some of the money. Hu-Dad invited some people over to…

Hot Day Energy Conservation
Hu-Dad encouraged everyone to practice good energy conservation yesterday as we were suffering our hottest day of the year. Of course, we don’t expect we will get a lot of sympathy when we mention our high was 80ºF (27ºC), the first 80º day we have seen all summer. Landon apparently misunderstood the message because he…

Taste Test – Annamaet Versus Acana
Five years ago, we were contemplating changing our primary dog food and decided to conduct a videoed taste test. Amazingly, the video has been viewed over 21,000 times. With that test, we chose Acana from Champion Pet Foods. For a while, we bought the food from a locally owned pet supply store, but the store…

An Evening Of Adventure Planning
When Boom Boom appears to be in deep thought on the deck, you know he is just spending the evening in some adventure planning. Evening was settling over Chez Herd and the rest of the dogs were relaxing in the cool summer breezes. Landon, however, was still looking for a little excitement. He usually looks…
