They’re all in the news as yet another CEO in space. Richard Branson. Jeff Bezos. Elon Musk. Don’t worry, though, Chief Entertainment Officer Landon Boom-Boom was launching himself long before they were, and he doesn’t even need a spaceship. Check out that form.

Ready For A Long Weekend?
It’s Labor Weekend for our U.S. and Canadian readers, so many of you are relaxing for the next few days.

For this week’s Caption This Friday, Roscoe wants to know if you’re ready for a long weekend? Give us YOUR answer.

Happy And You Know It
We feel for everyone in the direct path of Hurricane Ida. Considering their suffering, we hate to complain about a couple of days of rain from the storm here, but we were getting a wee bit stir crazy. When Landon discovered his afternoon trip to the yard didn’t involve rain, he was ecstatic. If you’re happy and you know it, run mad zoomies around the yard.

Coming At You
As August is coming to a close, we’re having a stretch of fairly warm weather (80’s, which is hot for us). The youngsters might be fine hanging out in the yard for a bit, but senior Frankie Suave is clear about his goal. He’s out. Takes care of business. And then looks at Hu-Dad and says I’m coming at you. Let’s go back inside.

Reporting In
Hu-Dad was hard at work at his desk when Roscoe P. and his bestest big brother His Royal Highness Little Prince Typhoon Phooey raced up to his desk with big grins on their faces. “What have you two been up to?” the Hu-Dad asked. “Nothing,” they said. “Absolutely nothing. We’re just reporting in.” Believe it or not, Hu-Dad suspected mischief had happened despite their denial. What do you think, Dear Readers?

The Plume
Landon is known for many things. His bouncy style that led to his nickname, Boom Boom. Those piercing blue eyes. The happy-go-lucky attitude. And, of course, the plume—that ridiculously fluffy tail of his.

Falling Into Autumn
We enjoyed yesterday afternoon’s walk. Chattering kids ambled home from school. Cloudy skies gave us cooler temperatures. A very light drizzle chilled things a touch more. A gentle breeze rustled the trees. Leaves fell on our path. Wait. What? Falling leaves? Well, yes, the trees weren’t as green as a week or two ago and leaves drifted to the ground. Something tells us we are falling into autumn.

Illusion of Speed
As the senior member of The Herd, Frankie Suave does not believe in excessive speed, but he does understand the need to keep up appearances. With the proper high-stepping front paw and the straight-back tail, he creates the illusion of speed. He doesn’t care if the youngsters lap him while he walks through the yard.

Lazy Afternoon
We Siberian Huskies are a working breed, so we maintain a busy schedule. Yesterday, for example, we had a morning walk (followed by breakfast) and an afternoon walk (followed by dinner). We had a mid-day play session in the backyard and then a lazy afternoon in Hu-Dad’s study. You can see in the photo how hard we work. Don’t worry—we’re professionals.

Neighborhood Watch
Believe it or not, Hu-Dad says our frequent wrestling matches break his concentration when he is working on his busyness. He asks we find something quieter to do so he can earn some kibble. Roscoe accomplishes this by being the head of the neighborhood watch. The fact that the magic cold air vent is in the same spot is a bonus.

Caption This: Whispered Plans
His Royal Highness Little Prince Typhoon Phooey and his bestest buddy Roscoe P. are the most likely to be at the center of any mischief in the house, so the Hu-Dad attempts to monitor their plotting. In this case, though, they kept their woos low so they wouldn’t be overheard. So, Dear Reader, help the Hu-Dad out with this week’s caption this photo. What were the whispered plans between our devilish duo?
