March 26, 2016 |

Queen Natasha the Evil has many skills that allow her to lead The Herd and annoy the Hu-Dad, but no skill may be as great as the big pout.

Film Friday – Picket Line in the RV Campsite

March 25, 2016 |

During our week of RV camping, what could be a better Film Friday than a video of the dogs on a picket line in the RV campsite? We often post pictures like the above of all of us hanging out on the picket line, but we know that a video can explain something far better…

Outdoor Dining

March 24, 2016 |

With warm, spring weather in full force at the beach, we are able to take full advantage of the outdoor dining options – more or less. Hu-Dad is a big fan of the Eggs Up Grill in Pawleys Island, SC. They have a large outdoor patio for dining and lots of shade trees throughout the…

Walking With Cousins

March 23, 2016 |

Whether we are at home or on vacation, we go walking a lot (something about A Tired Sibe is a Good Sibe). But on vacation, we get to go walking with cousins. Our normal family walk is just the six of us. We do have a great time as a family and a lot of…

Time For Our Close-Ups

March 22, 2016 |

Hanging out in our campsite on our picket line and Hu-Dad decided it was time for our close-ups. Time to get real close and personal! Capturing a photo of Q-Tip without his water bowl is quite the challenge. He wants to make sure it stays very close to him. Don’t worry, though, because he was…

Spontaneous Product Endorsement

March 21, 2016 |

Hu-Dad has been trying new training treats for us. Based on the reaction of a couple of members of The Herd, we have a spontaneous product endorsement. Hu-Dad is very picky about what we are allowed to eat, so he is always scanning product labels and telling us things we can’t have. But we are…

Best Rated Security System

March 19, 2016 |

Our house is protected by the best rated security system ever designed – Chief of Security Kiska and Queen Natasha the Evil. Those electronic systems have to be armed and disarmed, but our excellent security system merely needs to be fed twice a day. In return, our perimeter is secured 24/7 from all possible intruders.…

Past Our Bedtime

March 18, 2016 |

Hu-Dad was working on a project last night when he realized that it might have been past our bedtime. We wonder how he figured that out? We are sure this has no connection to our post earlier this week wondering why Hu-Dad had us walk so far every day, but we might not have been…

Laser Treatment Day

March 17, 2016 |

Cheoah and Natasha shared one of their favorite activities at the veterinarian’s office yesterday – laser treatment for arthritis. Since having their TPLO surgeries and the diagnosis of arthritis, both have been receiving periodic laser treatment sessions. The laser is so warm and comforting that both dogs enjoy the treatment and look forward to it.…

Wondering About Hu-Dad’s Motives

March 16, 2016 |

We have been wondering about Hu-Dad’s motives behind a certain daily activity, and were wondering if our readers might help enlighten us. Every day, we have a nice long family walk. We have several possible routes from the house. Down a horse trail to connect to another road which circles back to our road. Through…

Morning Choir Practice

March 15, 2016 |

Thanks to some human invention called Daylight Saving Time, we were awake early, but we still had our morning choir practice. Once a year, Hu-Dad plays a mean trick and enters something called Daylight Saving Time where we have to get up an hour earlier. He seems to take great delight in waking us up,…
