Usual Games

March 2, 2016 |

Nothing special for the first of March and we have continued with our usual games – which should be of no surprise to our regular readers. It all began with Cheoah sitting in Hu-Dad’s lap getting her usual ear rubs and neck rubs. When a certain younger brother entered her radar, however, she knew the…

Recovered

March 1, 2016 |

We have posted about how hard we had to work on Saturday at WinterFest Smoky Style, but we think we can officially declare that we have recovered! And how do we know? Let’s just say all of the usual games are back in full swing. Including, of course, our favorite game, tackle-wrestle-bitey face-body slam-tag-you’re it. Some…

It’s Good To Be Queen

February 29, 2016 |

Miss Natasha has always had a reputation for being a little difficult at times, but we thought we would share some adventures from Saturday to explain why she thinks it is good to be Queen. Our day began before sunrise when Hu-Dad loaded us into our limousine (aka, the Jeep) to drive down the mountain…

Tired Pups (And Humans)

February 28, 2016 |

We had a terrific time yesterday at WinterFest Smoky Style and worked really hard, but we are some very tired pups (and humans). We had a blast letting all of the humans pet us and scratch our ears and rub our bellies. Yes, we make such sacrifices we make to entertain humans, but we are…

Working WinterFest Weekend

February 26, 2016 |

The tasks of a working breed just never stop and we have a working WinterFest weekend with lots and lots of tasks in front of us. Yes, Frankie, once again, you are going to have to exhibit that strong work ethic of yours and let people scratch your ears and your neck and your belly.…

Ironing Clothes

February 25, 2016 |

As members of a working breed, we Siberian Huskies are very helpful around the house. We even handle ironing clothes. The real key to handling any type of work is not to think of it as work. Approach it with a very relaxed state of mind and those chores will suddenly seem as enjoyable as…

So, Hu-Dad, I am ready to leave the office.

Difficult Bosses

February 24, 2016 |

Hu-Dad may work from home, but he still has difficult bosses. Of course, he should just get his work done and there would be no problem. Hu-Dad claims to do lots of busy-ness from his study in the house, but we do wander in often to make sure work is getting done. Probably a really…

Interrupting Slumber

February 23, 2016 |

In the continuing winter of really weird weather, we are having a warm spell and rainy weather. The senior team was quite content to curl up in crates and snooze the day away, though a certain Hu-Dad with a camera was interrupting slumber. The camera snaps, the flash flashes, and the Queen is disturbed. In…

Faces of Innocence

February 22, 2016 |

We have a simple test for our readers, the same test Hu-Dad took just yesterday. Look at a few photos and decide if these are the faces of innocence. Hu-Dad was busy in another part of the house when he heard what sounded like a wrestling match under way in the den. He walked into…

Saturday Afternoon Walk – Herd Style

February 21, 2016 |

We have a couple of days of rain headed our way, so we took advantage of the pre-storm weather and had a Saturday afternoon walk. For some odd reason, we always get stared at while we are out for a walk. Haven’t most people seen a Siberian Husky family of six out for a little…

Incoming And Closeups

February 20, 2016 |

Hu-Dad was trying to get some pictures for today’s post, but he felt overwhelmed with the incoming targets. As you know from our daily posts, Hu-Dad always has a camera and is constantly trying to snare a few photos. Normally, we ignore his picture taking. On good days, we pose for him. But some days,…
