For the last several years on this date, we might have mentioned our Hu-Aunt’s birthday. We are absolutely, positively not mentioning her birthday this year. Yes, on this very date for the last few years, we might have mentioned that our Hu-Dad’s sister was having a birthday. We have vowed not to mention which day…

Can’t Get A Word In Edgewise
Hu-Dad tried to explain a certain behavioral rule to Typhoon last night. But the Little Prince wooed so much, Hu-Dad could not get a word in edgewise. We Siberian Huskies are well-known for our ability to vocalize and humans often find themselves in a give and take conversation with us. But humans also seem to…

Brotherly Confusion For The Hu-Dad
We certainly will not shock anyone when we say Typhoon can be mischevious, and Frankie is not. But what happens where there is confusion between them. Typhoon has a number of “endearing” traits, one of which is stealing envelopes off of Hu-Dad’s desk. He takes them to his crate for later shredding. Typhoon loves to…

Once again, Queen Natasha is exasperated with the Hu-Dad. She just shakes her head at the inability to find good help around Chez Herd.

The Queen Has Still Got “It”
Senior citizen or not, Queen Natasha the Evil has still got “it”. Just ask Qannik after a little drive-by lesson in royal privilege. Qannik was just innocently walking on the deck when the Queen decided that he needed a reminder of who was boss. He had not done anything disrespectful, other than maybe being within…

Someone Watching Over You
Do you ever get that feeling that someone is behind you? Watching everything that you do? Qannik gets that feeling a lot. As we have mentioned before, Queen Natasha continues to handle patrol duty herself, but our Chief of Security, Kiska, insists that she is watched carefully. Qannik was assigned watch duty, but Kiska felt…

Commercial Break Entertainment
We love sharing TV time with the Hu-Dad as he stretches out on the couch, but the best part is the entertainment during a commercial break. Hu-Dad has this strange rule that there is no wrestling, yelling, or choir practice when he is watching TV, or he will just turn it off. We should also…

A murder of crows stood in the middle of Sibe Quentin when we arrived home, so they had to be chased away immediately. Our fearless Chief of Security organized patrols to inspect every inch of…

15 Years Later – September 11
How can it be 15 years later? It seems like only yesterday that I was as stunned as the rest of the world and watching airplanes fly into buildings. Hu-Dad here. I rarely interrupt the blog with my own voice and prefer to let the dogs handle their stories. Frankly, though, none of them –…
