Still Snow Sliding Without Snow
The calendar may say December, but we still have no snow on the ground. That has not stopped Cheoah from snow sliding, however. We have mentioned before that Cheoah is practicing her snow slide. Nothing has changed since that post. We still do not have our first snow, despite the fact that it is weeks…

And Now A Word (Or Two) From Landon
Non-Siberian Husky owners are always mystified that Siberians talk more than bark. Landon has a word or two to explain what we mean. In general, Siberian Huskies are not very inclined to bark. Kiska is a great exception to that rule (we Siberians hate rules) and has quite the ferocious bark as part of her…

Negotiating A Compensation Package
If he is hanging out in the study with the Hu-Dad, Typhoon negotiates a complete compensation package with his favorite fringe benefit. Rain fell from the sky throughout yesterday. Considering our severe drought conditions and all of the wildfires, we were quite thankful for the rain. However, the storms also trapped a group of dogs…

Seeking A Higher Level View
Landon claims he was just seeking a higher level view, but Frankie appears quite unimpressed with his new brother’s talents. For those of you with long memories, you will remember that Typhoon used to do the same thing. This post back in 2013 is one of many that shows Typhoon hanging out on top of…

A Squealing Good Time At The Vet
Qannik and Landon went to the vet together Monday afternoon for a squealing good time. Let’s just say everyone knew we had arrived. Qannik was in for a follow-up visit for his digestive issues. He has improved dramatically, though we decided to extend treatments for another week and he continues to heal (treating the cecum…

Ducks Geese And Siberian Huskies
We can now officially answer what do you get when you mix ducks geese and Siberian Huskies – and the answer is not a productive walk. Our favorite local trail meanders beside Richland Creek. The creek is fairly wide and deep with a healthy population of fish and other creatures enjoying the fresh, cold water.…

Happy To Be Back To Family Walks
After Qannik’s digestive challenges and Cheoah’s surgery, we are so happy to be back to family walks with all six of us (plus the humans). Qannik is still healing, but we seem to have the worst of his digestive issues behind him. He is still on medication and special food. We have a follow-up appointment…

Checking On Hiding Places
Landon has to race around the house and check on his hiding places – the spots where he hid things just last week (that the Hu-Dad has found and removed). Last week, we mentioned that Landon had quite an evening breaking out of his crate, stealing supplies, and hiding them throughout the house. Hu-Dad was…

Half-Hearted Cheese Woo – Film Friday
Thanksgiving Day includes a big meal, so people across the nation napped in a post-meal tradition. Cheoah was right there with everyone as she napped on the human bed. Unfortunately, when choir practice started, she turned in a half-hearted performance – as you can see on this week’s Film Friday. Performances for the Sibernacle Choir…

Someone Is Playing The Senior Card
As colder weather arrives, our younger members head outside for games, playing in the brisk breezes. The older members of The Herd, however, opt for the indoor warmth. Someone is playing the senior card for the first time this winter. Cheoah joined the Herd a little over eight years ago and was somewhere between one…

Q-Tip’s Digestive Challenge
While the rest of The Herd is enjoying the cold weather, Qannik is dealing with a digestive challenge and an unplanned vet visit. As we mentioned a couple of weeks ago, Q has been challenged with losing a few pounds. He decided to speed that along by being unable to keep down food. As a…
