O Brother, Where Art Thou?
With our utmost apologies to the Coen Brothers to the obvious movie reference, Typhoon appears to be wondering O Brother, where art thou . . . going? Frankie Suave’s favorite activity is soaking up the sunshine. Thus, he can usually be found on the deck, under the Tree of Life, or on the picnic table…
Read Today's Herd StoryA Different Serious Scanning Sentry
Everyone knows that Kiska is a serious scanning sentry, ever watchful for threats outside Sibe Quentin. But how about this for some you do not expect? Some rabbits were playing just on the other side of the fence and those games attracted a fuzzy Siberian attention. What was surprising was who was sitting still and…

Sort of Behaving Herd Style
Hu-Dad thought he would catch a couple of photographs of Typhoon and Cheoah when they were sort of behaving (by Herd definitions). Sadly, they thought the photo op would last exactly one frame, because behavior rapidly declined after the first flash. Typhoon does realize that the above picture makes him look like the troublemaker, but…

Reserved Reactions To The Humans Return
The humans abandoned us to go to a restaurant. When they returned to Chez Herd, they were greeted with reserved reactions. Mostly. For some reason that we can not fathom, our humans think they have the right to go into town without us. Something about going to a restaurant for a nice, quiet meal. Why…

Boom Boom Choir – Film Friday
Kiska is our long-standing Choir Mistress, but sometimes she allows someone else to be a guest conductor. And so we present our guest conductor with the Boom Boom Choir. Our Sibernacle Choir holds rehearsals several times a day to keep our singing voices in shape. Miss Kiska has long been our Choir Mistress, insisting that…

Handsome Posing In The Snow
Frankie Suave is known for his calm manners and his loving nature. But he is also known as Mr. Handsome and this photo proves it. He earned the nickname Frankie Suave by the confident way he carries himself – well, unless there is thunder, but we all have a weakness. His favorite perch is the…

Professional Working Dog Response
After a long winter of too little snow, we finally received a reasonable snow yesterday. Of course, we had to provide a professional working dog response. The snow started falling Monday evening and continued to fall throughout the day Tuesday. This is the sort of snow that we have expect to have on a regular…

Cheesewhiz – The Outdoor Version
So many of our posts of Cheoah involve her indoor antics, so she requested that we post an outdoor version to prove she does leave the couch. Cheoah believes firmly in the comforts of her couch and a roaring fire in the fireplace, but she insisted on a pictorial session proving her outdoor mettle. She…

A Little Southern Snow And Go
Yes, we received some snow Sunday morning. Unfortunately, it was a classic Southern Snow And Go which disappeared as quickly as it fell. We woke up Sunday morning to a fresh three inches of snow on the ground. Not as much as we were predicted to receive, but it was still snow in a winter…

Not So Patiently Waiting For Snow
Promises were made yesterday that we would see some real snow, so we would best be described as not so patiently waiting here at Chez Herd. We had quite a few snow showers throughout the day on Saturday, but virtually no accumulation. But we could certainly smell the snow and kept asking Hu-Dad to let…

Waiting For March Snowy Weather
Our winter has certainly lacked snow, but we have been told we have two storms in the next few days, so we are all waiting for March snowy weather. The first system is to arrive late this afternoon and deliver 4-6 inches of snow. A second system is arriving Tuesday and is to give us…

Sparring With Cheesewhiz – Film Friday
We show so many pictures of Cheoah napping on the couch, but you probably should also know her little brothers visit for some sparring with Cheesewhiz time. Cheoah adores her quiet napping time on the great room couches. Unfortunately for her peace and quiet, her brothers like to drift by and “invite” her for a…
