Conscientious Objector
When Chief of Security Kiska called for an immediate security patrol, a certain fluffy conscientious objector opted to ignore the request.

Slipping Into Sleep
Cheoah tries so hard to be polite to the Hu-Dad by listening to his stories, but last night she just kept slipping into sleep. Hu-Dad was muttering something about how Cheoah was older and wiser than her little brother, Typhoon, and she needed to stop leading him into mischief around the house. You can tell…

Senior Division Wrestling
We mentioned the wrestling match between Queen Natasha and Qannik. Many readers requested, so here are pictures of the senior division wrestling. While our common wrestling partners are Cheoah and Typhoon – or Cheoah, Typhoon and Frankie, we also have a senior division that loves to wrestle. Natasha and Qannik are usually good for a…

Seeing Eye Doc
Our cousin, Ruby, had some eye challenges this week and is under the care of an canine ophthalmologist – you know, a seeing eye doc. As a quick background for our newer readers, Tartok and Ruby are the Hu-Grandmom’s Siberians – known as the Herd Annex. They live on the other side of the valley…

Foggy Weather Games
For two straight days, our mountain has been cloaked in cloud cover, so we have had to entertain ourselves with foggy weather games. Rain gives us mud, sun gives us warm naps, and snow gives us heaven, but fog is not high on our list of fun. We can’t even see rabbits lurking in our…

Qannik Speaks
Qannik speaks to anyone who will listen – and even if no one is listening. He just loves to give the running play by play around Chez Herd. The Hu-Dad was setting up to make a video about us, but Qannik kept talking and talking and talking. So, as often happens, Hu-Dad ended with a…

Low Energy Day
We were trying to be good for Hu-Dad’s birthday plus it was one of those off and on drizzle days, so yesterday was a low energy day. Hu-Dad was working away in his study on some kind of busyness project. We would have distracted him, but it was something about earning kibble and we are…

Thoughtful Present
Today is the Hu-Dad’s birthday (who knows which one because we can’t count that high) and Cheoah gave him a thoughtful present. Natasha is the only one of us who has been here from early puppy days, since the rest of us are all rescues. And that means that none of us canines, except for…

Taste Test Herd Style
Typhoon and Cheoah appeared to be engaged in a very special, Herd Style taste test – and it appeared that Cheoah one as always. Typhoon’s favorite wrestling partner is always Cheoah. Sometimes he instigates the match and sometimes she does, but the battle will go back and forth for quite a while. At some point,…

Our Personal Waterpark
Since our sunrise temperature Sunday morning was just below freezing, Cheoah thought that was a perfect time to open our personal waterpark. Hu-Dad was hardly surprised when he heard the knock on the patio door that some dogs wanted to come back inside right after being let outside. After all, our temperatures really were below…

Playing With Our Food
What do green beans and kibble have in common? They are two examples of us playing with our food. Queen Natasha is currently suffering through the green bean diet. For those of you who are unfamiliar with that diet, the amount of kibble is reduced by 1/4 to 1/2 and an equal quantity of green…

Thinking Of Something Fun
When you see Typhoon’s mind racing, you know he is thinking of something fun – and that usually means some sort of chaos is about to happen. Friday afternoon was peaceful and quiet. If this was a great film noir, the next line would be . . . it was too quiet. Well, that is…
