Lazy Weekend
Hu-Dad was running the tractor, clearing brush, and picking up limbs blown down by winter storms. Sounds like a perfect lazy weekend for us. Wait. Did you think we started off talking about lots of work? Hu-Dad noticed that the wild black berry vines are already growing. The bears really love those vines come mid-summer…

Proper Outdoor Etiquette
The season may be early, but we are having beautiful spring day after spring day. For some odd reason, Hu-Dad reminded us of proper outdoor etiquette.

Frankie took advantage of the spring-like weather to re-establish his rabbit lookout post. The wildlife held a little less interest for others who thought the warm weather was perfect for napping. The…

The Coast Is Clear . . . I Think
When trying to cross enemy territory, it is very important to verify that the coast is clear before you begin your treacherous journey. You may wonder what possible threat lurks within the walls of Sibe Quentin, a threat so nefarious that Frankie and Cheoah have to plan their journey. Sweet little Typhoon could not possibly…

Red Ruby Smiles
Time for Hu-Dad to travel across the valley and have dinner with the Hu-Grandmom and our cousins Ruby and Tartok, so we share some Red Ruby smiles. One of Ruby’s favorite games is the paw touch game. The rules are simple. Hu-Dad tries to touch a paw. Any paw. And if he touches a paw,…

Running From Trouble
The start of the weekend, so games are being played within Sibe Quentin. And some of us are running from trouble – or chasing trouble. A certain young pup loves to pick and pick and pick until he has exceeded the tolerance level of his pack . . . and then he finds himself being…
