Kitchen Help Extraordinaire
Hu-Dad went across the valley to Hu-Grandmom’s house for Thanksgiving dinner where he was able to observe kitchen help extraordinaire. Yes, our cousins, Tartok and Ruby, were helping in the kitchen throughout the preparation of the feast. We are, after all, a working breed and sometimes that work can be best found in food handling.…

How To Spend Thanksgiving Day
We will have family visiting later this weekend (including the Super Nephew himself!), but today will be quiet – and our best thoughts on how to spend Thanksgiving Day. Excuse us, Typhoon, but this blog is live. We need your comments. Wake up and let’s hear it. Yes, yes, Typhoon. The blog is rolling and we…

Need To Do Something Different
Do you ever get bored with what you are doing and just need to do something different? Frankie certainly understands that need for change. The picnic table is a coveted position within Sibe Quentin. You have a good height advantage for observing outside the fence, a cool breeze circulates underneath you, and the sunshine warms your…

Kiska’s Vet Day
One of the fun things in a multiple canine family is that there is always someone who needs to go to the vet – and yesterday was Kiska’s Vet Day. Yes, yes, Sibe Quentin was left without the Head of Security for a couple of hours. We can only imagine the chaos that must have…

Almost Does Not Count
When something is really, really important, almost does not count. Since snow is such a big part of happy Siberian Huskies, this rule is particularly true when it comes to fluffy precipitation. Yesterday morning certainly started off the right way. Our weather forecast was for periods of snow flurries with around a half inch of…

Where Is Our Winter Wonderland?
We know we should be thankful as we approach Thanksgiving, but we are complaining loudly about our warm weather. Where is our winter wonderland? The last year that our first snow was this late was 2009. The only good part of that winter was that once it started, it just did not want to stop…

Distractions and Diversions
Cheoah says that when you have a couple of brothers always looking to disturb your naps with wrestling matches, it is important to have distractions and diversions ready. Typhoon may be the most common disturbance, but big brother Frankie has been known to stir up trouble when he is bored. Cheoah was enjoying yesterday’s beautiful…
Read Today's Herd StoryMissing In Action
The Head of Security alerted everyone that Frankie was missing in action. Where was he and what was he up to? After a night of heavy rain, the sun rose bright and warm. The day was spent playing games of chase, tag, wrestling, etc. And, of course, there was lots of napping in the sunshine.…
Read Today's Herd StorySheltering From The Storm
The large rain system that has been moving across the country arrived in our area Wednesday, so we were sheltering from the storm in the den. So, of course, Hu-Dad was busy taking pictures. Cheoah was apparently unimpressed with the movie the humans were watching, because she was slowly drifting off to sleep. You have to…

Let Sleeping Dogs Lie
With a phrase ancient as “Let sleeping dogs lie,” you would think we understand that well around Chez Herd. Hu-Dad noted that various dogs were sleeping in the house or on the deck, but Typhoon had decided to sleep in the middle of the yard. This makes perfect sense on a sunny day, but yesterday was…

Still Waiting For Snow
Winter continues to be delayed here and we are still waiting for snow. We are filing complaints as loudly as we can about the unfairness of it all. We commonly see our first snow around Halloween every year, but have seen only the briefest of flurries so far this year. Just as a reminder, here…

We are letting Hu-Dad tell today’s story for reasons that will become obvious. To save Queen Natasha’s dignity, I had not shared a part of our story from her ultrasound experience on Wednesday. She had a little accident in my Jeep. In order to lie still for the ultrasound, Natasha needs a little sedative. Unfortunately, sedation includes…
