Computer Work
Today, we offer a rare, behind-the-scenes look at the real way our daily blog posts come together. Oh, sure, you might think the Hu-Dad does the work, but notice who is actually at the computer. What else could they be up to?

I Got You, Bro
Hu-Dad was dutifully working away in his study as a wrestling match ensued between His Royal Highness Little Prince Typhoon Phooey and his bestest brother, Roscoe P. Unfortunately for the brothers, they seemed to have reached an impasse as both of them tightened their grips. Seems like they were both muttering, “I got you, bro,” but neither wanted to surrender.

Beware Sleeping Canines
Hu-Dad came through a room and stumbled across today’s sight. The snoozing must have been very good because Landon did not twitch at all as Hu-Dad snapped a photo and then carefully stepped over the sleeper. One of the many obstacles of living at Chez Herd.

Off-Key Howl
Song time breaks out in Hu-Dad’s study several times a day. Some of us are quite melodic. Some of us are exuberant. Not many of us are both. Apparently, His Royal Highness Little Price Typhoon Phooey was unimpressed with Roscoe’s off-key howl.

Frankie’s Deep Thoughts
Rain fell most of the day yesterday, making for a soggy (and muddy) backyard, especially with our construction project. We made it out for our two daily walks, but spent the rest of the day hanging out in the study. At one point, Hu-Dad looked over and noticed Frankie’s deep thoughts. Or maybe he was meditating to ignore the ruckus of his younger siblings wrestling. Either way, Frankie says have a happy and suave Friday.

In Trouble Again
Some of you probably took one look at this photo and made an assumption about who was in trouble again. Typhoon isn’t it. He’s staring at the troublemaker. It seems Hu-Dad had some busyness away from the house and left us all alone yesterday. Who was supposed to fluff our pillows and provide ear scratches? And then—get this—dinner was 30 minutes late. A whole half hour! Typhoon is dreaming up the appropriate punishment, so give him your best suggestions.

Reluctant Volunteer
The challenge is real. Every day, Hu-Dad expects one of us to do something photographically worthy, but sometimes we are just too tired from all of our work. You know, exercising the humans with two walks a day, holding down the couch, spreading our fur strategically about the house, and testing our Hu-Dad’s agility with our choice of napping spots. Roscoe would sit up for his posing duties, but he is a reluctant volunteer today.

Help Desk Support
We know it’s exhausting for you humans to see how much we working breeds love our jobs. While our Hu-Dad is leisurely typing away on his keyboard, Landon is busy keeping the desk in position so it doesn’t suddenly fly away. We report 100% success in his efforts since it hasn’t floated into the air even once. Just another task we handle—help desk support.

Dirty Deeds
Once again, Hu-Dad is making crazy allegations that a certain member of royalty might have been digging in the backyard. When confronted, His Royal Highness Little Prince Typhoon Phooey denied being involved in any such dirty deeds. With such an innocent look, who could possibly think he might be guilty?

Tough Inspection
The stonework on our backyard project is nearing completion, so the bulldozer spread dirt yesterday afternoon. His Royal Highness Little Prince Typhoon Phooey conducted a tough inspection and decided he was much more pleased with the loose mud than the stone. Someone is always a critic.

Laid-Back Suave
Something about watching the Hu-Dad work away at his desk soothes us (and bores us) into a comfortable sleep. Our fearless leader, Frankie Laid-back Suave, takes things to the extreme with this napping pose.

Judgy
None of us can express our disdain quite as well as His Royal Highness Little Prince Typhoon Phooey. Hu-Dad was working hard at his desk when he felt the stare boring into him. He turned to see the Little Curmudgeon sprawled on the floor and delivering quite the judgy look. So whatever it was, Hu-Dad, stop it.
