Typhoon, Look At The Camera
To capture today’s photograph, Hu-Dad followed His Royal Highness Little Prince Typhoon Phooey around the yard. Not once did Typhoon look at the camera. To give our readers what they want, Hu-Dad sat the Little Curmudgeon down, explained the importance of good eye contact in photography, aimed the camera, and… Well, this was the result.

Patiently Waiting On The Hu-Dad
Hu-Dad thought it would be a great idea to a get a photo of us outside yesterday evening in the rain, but dark and rainy doesn’t lead to great photography. All the images were blurred. Hu-Dad told Roscoe he would need a few minutes to get something to work, so Roscoe sat still, patiently waiting. To speed things along, Hu-Dad decided to do the obvious and use the picture in front of him. Roscoe knew he would figure it out sooner or later.
P.S. – Happy October

Pre-Tropical Mess Games
By the time Ian reaches us here in Asheville, it will no longer be a hurricane, but we expect several inches of rain over the next two days. We decided to enjoy a quiet, sunny evening in the yard. Typhoon celebrated with a nice roll in the grass. Normally, he would forbid such un-royal photos, but he figured we all needed the entertainment. To see all the photos, you must click the link and visit the full post on our website.

The Window Seat
We came back from our afternoon walk and Hu-Dad settled in behind his desk to knock out a few late day tasks, so Roscoe took up the window seat to monitor those pesky tree rats. Must be the best show around because he barely moved for a half hour.

Serious Furry Boom
Landon loves to romp, bounce, and dance about the backyard—activities that long ago earned him the nickname Boom Boom. Sometimes, though, the more contemplative Boom appears and he strikes a more serious pose. Don’t worry, though, such moments never last longer than a moment and the happy-go-lucky Boom returns.

Dare You To Ignore This Look
Our Hu-Dad likes to pretend he’s in charge so we do our best to humor him. Each of us, though, has our own method to accomplish our personal goals. Roscoe’s approach is the head in the lap with the soulful eyes. And, yes, he’s really, really good. Now how many of you are willing to do whatever Roscoe asks?

Smile For The Camera?
Hu-Dad had a busy day yesterday and got way behind schedule. He realized yesterday evening that he hadn’t done our daily story yet. He picked up his camera and turned to discover that Typhoon wasn’t the closest member of The Herd. He asked Typhoon to smile for the camera and took this photo. We’ll let you judge how much of a smile that was.

Here Comes The Prince
His Royal Highness Little Prince Typhoon Phooey was busy in the backyard and didn’t want to be bothered, so Hu-Dad and Roscoe spent some time playing games. Games? Wait! Typhoon wasn’t letting anyone have fun without him, so he came charging up to find out what was going on.

Annual Promise Not To Mention Our Hu-Aunt’s Birthday
Each year, our Hu-Dad’s sister warns him ensure sure we don’t mention her birthday or her age. She accuses us of being cute in the way we mention it, so we’re taking 53 extra precautions this year. For example, we developed 53 point action plan and reviewed it 53 times. Nope, not getting her age out of us. Then, to hold us publicly to our pledge, we’re posting this promise here so that you know we will not mention that today is her birthday. Aren’t we such good dogs?

Our New, Shy Friend
We make many new friends when taking our twice-daily walks and love the extra attention and ear scratches. Our latest introduction, however, didn’t go quite so well because he turned out to be quite shy. Wouldn’t talk to us at all. Hu-Dad took the time to escort him safely across the trail.
