No Singing In The Campsite Rule
Hu-Dad has one strict requirement for our RV behavior – the no singing in the campsite rule. Our Choirmistress almost led us in a violation. Because we strive so hard to get along with our RV neighbors, Hu-Dad expects us to be on our absolute best behavior while camping. We take great pride when other…

Vacation Week Energy Level
As we near the end of beach week, we have achieved a vacation week energy level of tired – well, most of us have hit tired. After a week of daily adventures and multiple daily walks, we have reached that particular energy level accustomed to the end of vacation week – namely tired. Most of…

Nearly Perfect Weather Beach Week
Funny thing about planning vacation weeks is that the weather never seems to cooperate. Except this week, we have had a nearly perfect weather beach week. A short spurt of showers yesterday afternoon reminded us how perfect the weather has been for us this week. Temperatures most days have topped out in the upper 70’s,…

We moved up the coast yesterday and are now enjoying some Huntington Beach State Park camping in Murrells Inlet, South Carolina. After a few days on James Island (near Charleston, SC), we have moved up the coast to one of our favorite parks – Huntington Beach State Park in Murrells Inlet, SC. We were able…

The Best RV Cool Spot Ever
While everyone else battles for position in front of the fans in the campsite, Typhoon thinks he wins with the best RV cool spot ever. The Little Prince has never pretended to be a normal dog, thus he has ignored the battles for the best position in front of the fans outside our RV. After…

Frankie Suave Beats The Heat
While the rest of The Herd complains about the temperatures on our beach vacation, Frankie Suave beats the heat in the coolest way possible. Temperatures hovered around 80º, temperatures we rarely see at Chez Herd in the midst of the summer. While we may have had a warmer than normal winter, we still are not…

Someone Is Knocking At The Door
We are enjoying our spring beach vacation, but it is hot, hot, hot – at least for Siberian Huskies, so we are knocking at the RV door. During our RV vacations, Hu-Dad likes to take nice, long walks with us. We have never figured out why he likes them so much since we are just…

It’s Vacation; Let’s Do Something Different
It’s our annual spring beach trip (and, yes, we have a winter and fall beach trip, too), so Typhoon decided to do something different. Maybe. We arrived at James Island County Park just outside of Charleston, SC, for our annual spring beach vacation. Having been cooped up in the S-RV for 7 hours on the…

The Rabbit Not Chased (And Other Tales Of Woe)
Typhoon loves the study because of the windows overlooking the front yard, but Hu-Dad’s rules created the rabbit not chased (and a big pout). Typhoon spends much of his day hanging out in the study with Hu-Dad, though Hu-Dad suspects the real attraction is the windows. The study juts out from the front of the…

Typhoon Phooey Versus Cheesewhiz
After a morning of medical tests, the Little Prince said the best relaxation technique was a Film Friday wrestling match – Typhoon Phooey versus Cheesewhiz. Typhoon started his morning riding with Hu-Dad to drop the Jeep at the Jeep Veterinarian. The staff invited them to hang out in the waiting area while waiting on their…

Puff The Magic Typhoon
Typhoon created a little excitement around Chez Herd yesterday, so much so that he earned a new nickname, Puff, and a trip to the vet. Yes, that is one swollen nose with very puffy eyes. Mid-morning, Hu-Dad noticed that Typhoon usually skinny and pointy beak was ballooning, so he earned an unscheduled trip to the…

A Slight Hole In Our Spring Day
Yesterday was a perfect spring-like day encouraging lots of sunshine napping at Chez Herd, though we did have a slight hole develop. The art of napping is lost on the young and their endless energy. Let’s say that almost everyone enjoyed lots of sunshine napping while a certain youngster amused himself. Don’t worry. While the…
