Hanging Out In A Campsite
To us, there is nothing quite as nice as hanging out in a campsite as the sun is setting – such as last weekend at Big Ridge State Park. The humans were sitting around the picnic table gabbing away, as humans often do, and we were just enjoying the peace and serenity of an RV…

You’re Doing It Wrong

With her 13th birthday approaching in a month, she has a…

Champion Eater
Yesterday, we profiled our most challenging dog with food, Typhoon. Today, we should talk about our champion eater, Qannik! With Typhoon, we are always challenged with what he will eat today. Sometimes, the most delicious item yesterday suddenly holds absolutely no appeal today. Qannik, however, will eat anything. And we really do mean anything. In…

Reclaiming Sibe Quentin
We might have been gone for only a couple of days, but we have to be adamant about reclaiming Sibe Quentin upon our return home.

Campsite Relaxation
Since we are regular RVing canines, we are quite proficient at many camping skills – including a great ability for campsite relaxation. We work hard to behave when we are camping, so we take lots of walks. Somehow, those long walks certainly help with our ability to nap out on our picket line in the…

May Snow Day
Living in the mountains, the weather is always unpredictable, so nothing like a little May Snow Day to bring some excitement to Chez Herd. Yes, we said snow. When we tell people we live in North Carolina, people unfamiliar with our state assume we are hot and snowless. But the mountain region of the state…

Enjoying Sunshine
While we Siberian Huskies are fans of winter weather, we also can often be found enjoying sunshine on particularly cold spring days. The calendar might say May, but we can still have some fairly cool days up here on our mountain. In fact, we are even supposed to have some snow showers overnight, though nothing…

Reading With Qannik
Each member of The Herd has one-on-one time with the Hu-Dad. One of those daily moments is reading with Qannik where the Q shares a couch and a book. The reading couch is in the bedroom and is a perfect spot for a human and canine to curl up and get lost in a story.…

Bad To The Bone
No matter how hard certain members of The Herd may try to behave, they are just bad to the bone and destined for trouble at any moment. Typhoon would like to appeal his sentence of being tethered inside the house once again. Let’s review: Yes, he might have been found on top of the center…

Odd Couple Moment
Like most groups, we have our favorite combinations for fun and games. Every now and then, though, we have an odd couple moment. As we have described before, the back of our house has two large, covered porches – perfect for canine hangouts. The seniors prefer their days to be quiet and relaxing and object…
