A Little Game – Ears To You
We have a little game for you today – Ears To You. Hu-Dad was sitting with us out on the deck trying to capture photographs. Though this might be a little surprising, we were being less than cooperative. Playing around, Hu-Dad snapped a picture from behind Natasha’s head and captured just her ears. And thus…

Don’t Talk With Your Mouth Full
Teaching the youngest member of The Herd about manners is always quite the challenge. Today, we will focus on a simple etiquette rule, “Don’t talk with your mouth full.” Well, yes, Typhoon, we guess rules do limit your fun sometimes. But this is a really important one. So important that we have asked your sister,…

The Power of The Look
We all know it – the power of the look. That look that tells us to cool it and behave . . . right now. Around Chez Herd, the look is usually reserved for a certain junior member of The Herd who just refuses to grow up. As Typhoon bounds toward him, Frankie simply raises…

Only Thinking of You
Hu-Dad often is hunched over his computer in his study crunching through some project, so we consider it our job to provide him some relaxation. After all, we always tell him, “We are only thinking of you.” For example, just yesterday . . . Natasha heard Hu-Dad clicking away on his computer, grumbling about vector…

All Quiet on the Eastern Front
Oh, sure, sure, we know the famous novel and movie might refer to the western front, but Sibe Quentin faces East. We can safely report that it is all quiet on the Eastern front. Right, Kiska? Well, things must be quiet, because Kiska is not making a sound. She is positioned well in the snooter…

Rainy Mondays & Book of the Week
Nothing is more boring than rainy Mondays. Hu-Dad says the worst part is we really did not get much rain (and we need some), it just drizzled and misted much of the day. Hu-Dad says rainy Mondays are really awesome because we all hang out in his study all day long making his work much…

Patiently Waiting
When we are loading up for a Jeep excursion, the Hu-Dad seems to take an extraordinarily long time to get ready to go. No worries though because we are all patiently waiting for him. Sure, he has to pack leashes, collars, water, hiking gear, snacks, and other essentials, so we understand it takes some time.…

Hanging Out with the Cousins
Hu-Dad went across the valley to have dinner with Hu-Grandmom – and he spent some time hanging out with the cousins, Tartok and Ruby, without us. When he returned, we sniffed him thoroughly. We were concerned that Hu-Dad went over there and played games with our cousins, but he assured us the visit was totally…

Class Clowns
Our two biggest class clowns are Typhoon and Qannik, so when the two of them get together, they have to out clown each other. Typhoon had staked out a nice shady spot in the yard when Qannik spotted him resting peacefully. What to do? What to do? While Qannik may be a clown, he is…

Action Hero
Hollywood has been on a kick for the last several years making movies starring some action hero. Being a working breed that is always full of action, we think Super Siberian should be the next major movie. Uh, no, Cheesewhiz, we meant the movie should star one of the Herd as Super Siberian. You know,…

Camera Aware
We know we post a lot of pictures of Typhoon, but he is just so photogenic. However, we have noticed that is becoming quite camera aware. Take for example this picture that Hu-Dad captured yesterday. Good pose, right? But as every photographer knows, you take several pictures to make sure you capture just the right…

I Feel Good – Video
Queen Natasha has had quite the year. Her 12th birthday was in June. She had TPLO surgery to rebuild a knee last fall. And just a couple of weeks ago, she had a nearly two pound mass removed from her spleen and liver (and had her spleen removed). But she wants everyone to know, “I…
