The Problem With Reputations

April 19, 2016 |

Typhoon often wonders – is it the problem with reputations – or the reputation of being the problem – that is the bigger issue. Typhoon loves his role of troublemaker and juvenile delinquent, but sometimes he does his very best to be good. And no one believes it. The doubt on his big brother’s face…

Back To Sibe Quentin

April 18, 2016 |

A weekend of fun and relaxation in the RV is always great, but there is something special to being back to Sibe Quentin and home. The trip back from Big Ridge State Park over the mountains was fairly uneventful, but we were still ready to cut loose and have some fun. Even after only a couple…

RV Daily Energy Cycle

April 17, 2016 |

Hu-Dad says sharing an RV with six Siberian Huskies requires management of our Energy Cycle. We don’t know what that means, but we sure walk a lot. Like we do at home, we wake up with the sunrise and are ready to get outside and have fun. Hu-Dad is an early riser, too, so he…

Same Games, Different Place

April 16, 2016 |

We are always asked what it is like to be RVing canines and camp in different places. Our answer is simple – same games, different place. This weekend is going to be a perfect spring weekend, so we packed up the RV and headed into Tennessee to Big Ridge State Park. We go to this…

Film Friday – Liver Treat Diva

April 15, 2016 |

We were attempting a simple Film Friday video when the Liver Treat Diva demanded higher pay for her acting skills – so you get our outtakes instead. As you can probably imagine, 2-3 minutes of good video come from quite a bit of raw filming. The magic happens in the editing process where Hu-Dad pulls…

Face To Face With The Big Dogs

April 14, 2016 |

We have already shared with you the joy of having our big dog neighbors back at Cataloochee Ranch next door, and Natasha had her first face to face with the big dogs this season. Queen Natasha was riding solo in the Jeep, headed down to the valley for her weekly laser treatment for arthritis. As…

Faster Than A Speeding . . . Rabbit

April 13, 2016 |

Look. Racing through the yard. It’s faster than a speeding . . . rabbit. Wait, that’s not the way that goes. Well, not unless you are Super Typhoon! Hu-Dad has long insisted that we all sleep indoors at night. He says with all of the various creatures we have surrounding us, he believes that we…

The Sound of Silence

April 12, 2016 |

Any humans with multiple dogs knows the scariest noise – the sound of silence. The quiet was so loud, Hu-Dad had to go check it out. Hu-Dad was working away in his study when he realized how quiet the house was. Fearing the worst, he began a nose count. The seniors were outside, snoring in…

If It Quacks Like A Duck . . .

April 11, 2016 |

We are very firm believers in the phrase, “If it quacks like a duck, it is a duck,” even if Hu-Dad tries to explain that there is no duck.

Where did it go?

April 10, 2016 |

Temperatures Saturday were just above freezing, winds were brisk, but our snow disappeared. We kept asking Hu-Dad, “Where did it go?” As Chief of Security, Kiska was placed in charge of finding the dreaded snow chief. As always, she took her job very seriously. We know, shocking that Hu-Dad never got around to mowing the…

April Snows Bring Husky Glows

April 9, 2016 |

Humans get so many things wrong. For example, they think the saying is “April showers bring May flowers,” when it is really “April snows bring Husky glows.” Most people’s weather perception of North Carolina comes from the lower elevations to the east of us, but those of us who live in the mountains know that…

Film Friday – Prancing Prince

April 8, 2016 |

It’s Friday, so we have declared it another Film Friday, and will let video explain something that photographs just can’t do – explain the prancing prince. Typhoon rarely walks from one place to another. He runs, races, prances and dances – a perpetual motion machine. Capturing him in a photograph is always quite the challenge…
