Recreating The Psycho Shower Scene
One of the most memorable horror moments in movies was the Psycho shower scene, so we decided to recreate it for during Hu-Dad’s shower. Note – We do not own the rights to that clip. We believe strongly in copyright law and have done our best to embed it from someone who does has the…

Apologies To Air Traffic Control
Landon would like to issues his apologies to Air Traffic Control and the Federal Aviation Administration for violating flight restrictions. We had a day of no rain, but cloudy and cool weather. And dinner had been served. In other words, Boom Boom had to celebrate in the only way he knows how. He had to…

If You Want Something Done . . .
Cheoah seems quite unimpressed with her brothers’ promises and falls back on that old saying – If you want something done, do it yourself. In addition to all of the rest of the wildlife we have around Chez Herd, we have quite an abundance of crows. They are quite brazen and enjoy hanging out inside…

We work so hard to keep Chez Herd safe from intruders, but we have become overrun with a fuzzy evil invasion that we must eliminate. Our yard has been safe from intruders for quite some time, but a recent pest population has exploded. Our field is full of the dastardly creatures and they have again…

Shifting Gears From Serious To Zoom
We Siberian Huskies are a working breed, serious dogs dedicated to our tasks. Except when we are shifting gears to our crazy side. As a breed, we are well-known for our incredible work ethic pulling sleds for hundreds of miles. The colder and more severe the weather, the stronger we respond to achieve the destination.…

Staring Contests Around Chez Herd
With his camera, Hu-Dad captured one of the many staring contests that happens regularly around Chez Herd. But who was looking at who? Shouldn’t surprise any of our readers that one of the staring parties was our own Chief of Security, Miss Kiska. Nothing moves around our yard without her attention and our fluffy girl…

Keeping Up With Boom Boom
Keeping up with Boom Boom can be a full-time job – and a Film Friday! Landon’s energy and exuberance has not waned at all since his arrival at Chez Herd. He loves running in the yard and inside the house. Furniture exists merely as props for his antics as he bounces through the house. Sitting…

Ear Nibbling Distractions For A Driver
Qannik discovered yesterday that ear nibbling distractions are not an approved behavior when Hu-Dad is driving the Jeep. A couple of issues cropped up on Qannik’s bloodwork from his vet exam on Monday, so we decided to do a couple of additional tests yesterday. Nothing crazy wrong, but just some readings that were more on…

Steady Rain And A Soggy Cotton Ball
For the second day this week, we received well over an inch of steady, soaking rain. Probably not hard to figure out how we have a soggy cotton ball. Qannik has alway enjoyed steady rains and can be found hanging out in the yard. Like most dogs, he enjoys soaking up the sun’s rays on…

Vets, Lasers, Q-Tips and Cheese
Four of us were left home alone (and protesting at the unfairness quite loudly) while Hu-Dad went for an afternoon of vets, lasers, Q-Tips and Cheese. Cheoah’s visit was simply for a laser treatment for arthritis in her spine. She receives treatments every couple of weeks and that gives her a great deal of flexibility…

Landon’s Plaintive Howl
The plaintive howl pierced my sleep, bolting me upright in bed. The clock glowed 1:15, the only light in the room. The howl rose again outside. Landon’s voice. Shrill. Sad. Lonely. “But that is impossible,” I think. “Landon is inside. Everyone is inside.” I search the dark bedroom. Frankie sprawled on the blankets beside me.…

Typhoon’s Big Saturday Adventure
Question of the day – Why would Typhoon go with Hu-Dad on a big Saturday adventure while every other pup stayed home at Chez Herd? Today was Typhoon’s weigh in day to see if he is continuing to gain weight. He weighed 43.3 pounds, so a slight gain of 0.3 pounds over the last two…
