We try every day to let you know how tough the life of a working breed dog is, so today we share the struggle of chasing sun.

Rainy Day Games In The Tree Fort

March 8, 2017 |

A rainy, dreary day necessitates indoor games. Playing in the tree fort counts as “indoor,” right? Why are you rolling your eyes, Hu-Dad? We were receiving some much-needed rain at Chez Herd yesterday, though that interfered with the outdoor plans we all had. Hu-Dad suggested to Landon that he should play indoors. Unfortunately, indoor play…

We Are Ready For Bedtime

March 7, 2017 |

Hu-Dad was working on some busy-ness project much later than normal yesterday evening. Don’t we look like we are ready for bedtime? Yesterday morning, we had a plumber at the house handling some repairs. Amazingly, we were not allowed to help. Something about our amazing cuteness would slow him and he charges by the hour.…

The Adventures of Flat Dog

March 6, 2017 |

Typhoon was sprawled in his usual spot, under Hu-Dad’s desk in the study. He never left his flat dog pose while Hu-Dad crawled around photographing. Hu-Dad expected that Typhoon would bounce up and move to another room to avoid all of the attention, but he patiently let the camera take quite a few photographs. Typhoon…

Somepup Is Flying Around The Yard

March 5, 2017 |

Flying sometimes means someone is running quickly. And, sometimes, someone is soaring through the air without paws touching the ground. Poor Frankie has quite the challenging job keeping his two little brothers in line.Typhoon is just fast. Chasing rabbits through the yard, twisting and turning fast.Nothing can match his incredible speed. Typhoon is just fast.…

A Scandalous Cheesewhiz Coverup

March 4, 2017 |

A cold winter day should not create any outrage, but Hu-Dad has photographic evidence of a scandalous Cheesewhiz coverup. Hu-Dad took a break from his busy-ness in the study, stepped over the various dogs napping on the floor and noticed that Cheoah was napping on her usual couch. The only difference is that Cheesewhiz had…

Some Things Do Not Change

March 3, 2017 |

A year ago, we posted a video that looked very much like today’s, proof that some things do not change even if our Herd does continue to evolve. We posted just the other day about Landon’s new assigned job of alerting Frankie to rabbits in the lower field. But Landon is not the only little…

The Office Crowd On A Stormy Day

March 2, 2017 |

Like a lot of the eastern US, we had thunderstorms move through our area yesterday, which made for quite the office crowd in Hu-Dad’s study. Fortunately, we missed all of the destruction that so many others had from the storm. We had some much-needed rain, some heavy winds (a common event in the mountains) and…

Special Place For A Dinner Date

March 1, 2017 |

When a Little Prince gets tired of eating at the same old places, he has to search out a special place for a dinner date. Typhoon has long been the finickiest eater of the Herd. Hu-Dad has prepared a whole array of meals including chicken, beef, salmon, satin balls, cheese, etc., etc., etc. Once one…

Frankie Assigned Landon’s New Job

February 28, 2017 |

Landon loves his Big Brother Frankie Suave, so he readily accepted the new job that Frankie assigned to him in Sibe Quentin. Hu-Dad looked out the window to see Frankie napping while Landon was on full alert. By now, our readers know that Boom Boom is rarely serious about anything, but he looks up to…

Feety-Feet Sleeping Comfort

February 27, 2017 |

All pups know that achieving just the right feety-feet sleeping comfort position can be challenging some days, but we can do it. The picture above says it all. Cheoah barely made it to the couch before the overpowering urge to take a nap hit. She did her best to fluff pillows and warm the surface…

A Hu-Dad Age Test – Hee Haw

February 26, 2017 |

Hu-Dad was watching us inside Sibe Quentin and was reminiscing about the TV show, Hee Haw. We think that just means he is old. In particular, Hu-Dad thought of Archie Campbell and Buck Owens doing their classic skit, “Pfft, You Were Gone.” The lyrics changed each week, but the chorus remained the same wondering where…
