Foiled Again (And Tethered)
Just when Typhoon was making great strides on behavior around the house, he was foiled again. Not to mention tethered again. Do you remember when we were all stretched out in the den watching a little TV? And the Hu-Dad decided to do a nose count? And discovered someone was missing? And remember the Hu-Dad…

Carry A Big Stick
Being called the “Thundering” Herd for a reason, we may not walk softly, but we sure understand carry a big stick. Typhoon was enjoying a nice peaceful rest in the snow with his new favorite toy – a stick he had found in the yard. Ok, fair enough, it was a branch. So, of course,…

Security Patrols Must Go On
No matter what the weather – and we have had all types of weather this week – the security patrols must go on. Our weather this week has been as crazy as ever – snow, sleet, freezing, rain, strong wind storms, a little sunshine, and back to snow – all in about a 36 hours…

Bedtime Stories
Like all good children, we insist that Hu-Dad tells us some bedtime stories – involving hero dogs, of course – before lights out every night. The key to a good bedtime story is that it can’t be too scary or exciting, and it has to have a happy ending. You know, like dogs finding good…

Knock Knock Jokes
Hu-Dad may try to close his office door to get some work done, but then we just start up our own version of knock knock jokes. When building this house, Hu-Dad thought it would be great to have glass doors from his study to the main part of the house. We love it because we…

Can’t Get Away
Hu-Dad may try to be by himself sometimes, but he simply can’t get away from us very easily. We follow him no matter what. We know this might be incredibly shocking, but the Hu-Dad has been known to leave us at home while he runs errands . . . all by himself. Something about being…

Colder. Snowier. Better.
We told you about Tuesday. Can you believe that Wednesday was colder? Snowier? Better? At least if you are a Siberian Husky, it is better. The only problem was that the afternoon was a little warm. Yes, our high was all the way up to 15ºF (-9ºC). And how do you pass a hot afternoon…

Super Siberian Snow Season
Our winter may have been a little slow getting to us, but we are having an absolutely super Siberian snow season! Our high yesterday was not quite 16ºF (-9ºC) with a nice little 20 mph breeze cooling things off. And, yes, constantly falling snow showers for the second day in a row. When you are…

Comfort Is Hard To Find
You have seen us work and hike, and now you will see how comfort is hard to find around Chez Herd. We expect lots of sympathy. Can you believe that Cheoah has to suffer through such poor living conditions? Just look at that picture above and notice all of the things wrong. How is a…

Mission Accomplished
Hu-Dad decided a walk was the perfect antidote to some restless Herd members. I think we can safely say mission accomplished. Our weather was perfect at the house – sunny and cool with a high of 38ºF (3ºC) – so we might have been a little rambunctious in our Siberian games around the house. The…
