Yes, yes, Typhoon, pouting is certainly a viable alternative. Hu-Dad considered that one…

Typhoon, Weight, and Vet Visits
As we have mentioned before, Typhoon’s weight has always been a key concern of ours. Not too much – too little. We had worked hard to move his weight from 40 to 42 lbs, but our weigh in at the vet yesterday showed us back down to the 40 lb mark. Typhoon’s eating habits are…

Rainy Day Games On Dreary Days
After a couple of months of very dry weather, we really needed the rain that fell yesterday (about 2 inches or 5 centimeters). Our drought conditions might have been partially quenched, but the weather really made for a cold, foggy, rainy, nasty day. So the question yesterday was whether The Herd could keep itself entertained…

Comforts of Frankie
Frankie is the even-keeled, predictable, well behaved boy of The Herd, but he does like his comforts. For example, he has a certain spot on the deck that is his. From this vantage point, he can monitor all wildlife traffic (most importantly, the rabbits) and also watch his siblings. Inside, he prefers a certain couch…

Vet Updates – Natasha and Q
When the Jeep is loaded and only a couple of members of The Herd are passengers, that usually means one thing – vet updates! Yesterday were trips for Qannik (Rabies shot) and Natasha (general check-up post surgery). Because of the mass removed from Natasha’s liver, we will be performing regular blood work on her.

Baby Wolf
When we are out for a family walk, we get many comments. The most common, by far, is being asked, “Where is the sled?” Trust us, if we are around people, we hear that a dozen or more times a day. We smile and answer the question. But the other one we get all of…

Best Part of Camping
We get asked all of the time what is the best part of camping. Is it traveling to new places in the RV? Long hikes on new trails? Meeting other campers? Ok, we have to admit it – the best part might just be lazy afternoons in the campsite taking some nap time. Camp grounds…

Supermodel Moments
As our readers well know, Hu-Dad is always taking photographs of us. And some of us are quite good at taking advantage of those supermodel moments. Yes, yes, Kiska loves mugging for the camera and showing off all of that fur. Like any good model, she is willing to work hard to give that right…
