Sunshine On Your Face
His Royal Highness Little Prince Typhoon Phooey demonstrates one of the great pleasures of a summer morning—sunshine on your face. No reason to mention to him that his bestest brother, Roscoe P., is sneaking up on him for a surprise attack.

Even Robots Respect Suave
Every afternoon, our robovac fires up and wages its daily battle with our dirt and fur, a challenge in a multiple canine family. Most of us don’t care much for the device, but Frankie Suave isn’t afraid of some robots. He does get irritated his naps are interrupted, but otherwise refuses to move and makes the robot work around him.

Dangerous Intersection Ahead
Top speed zoomie games are our favorite entertainment in the backyard, but we might still be working on the right-of-way rules. This full-speed moment might have ended in a collision or just a near-miss, but the best part is the trash talk (is that trash woo?) that occurs. So, Dear Reader, since this is Friday, who said what to whom? Go ahead, caption this photo between The Little Prince Typhoon Phooey and his best buddy Roscoe P.

Can You Identify This Bird?
We were enjoying time in our backyard when Hu-Dad heard rustling in the bushes near some bird feeders. Hoping to capture a photo of one our avian friends, he aimed his camera and caught this unique looking creature attempting to extract some seed. Hu-Dad thinks it’s a Landoness Boom-Boomness, but he isn’t positive. Can you identify this bird?

I Can’t Hear You
We’re enjoying our yard now that the fence has been completed. We no longer have to have leashes on to simply go outside. Unfortunately for Hu-Dad, that also means we can ignore him when he suggests it’s time to go back inside. Note how Landon perfectly demonstrates Siberian Selective Deafness. He’s communicating clearly, “I can’t hear you.”

Senior Confidence
When you have multiple siblings, you never know when the next prank might happen. You remain aware walking across the yard in case someone is waiting to pounce. Unless, of course, you are the big cheese. The boss. The big guy. The king. The one and only Frankie Suave. Then you strut across the yard with senior confidence.

Don’t You Dare
Warm, sunny afternoons are perfect for His Royal Highness Little Prince Typhoon Phooey to stretch out in the grass and enjoy a nap. Perfect except for the pesky little brother, Roscoe P., who seems determined to stir up some fun. The Little Prince throws his best Don’t You Dare look, but did Roscoe heed the warning?

Caption This: Smile!
Our rain has stopped. The sun is out. We are looking forward to a great weekend and hope you are too. How can we make your Friday better? How about a great big smile from Roscoe P. Since it is Caption This Friday, go ahead and let us know what you think he is saying behind that grin.

Royal Snit Fit
We are accustomed to receiving compliments on our walks including the one that amuses the Hu-Dad the most (“They are so well-behaved!” – Boy, can Hu-Dad roll his eyes). Yesterday, a lady commented on our furry coats and then asked why Typhoon’s looked, well, less-brushed. Hu-Dad said because of the Royal Snit Fit. She might not have understood the answer, but any of us who have heard the screams of horror emanating from the Little Prince when a brush approaches understand.

Stop The Rain
For the last several days, a weather system has smothered us with one storm after another. We try to thread our walks in between the rain, but that means lots of waiting for a break. Roscoe sums things up nicely here with his thought to please stop the rain.

Our Own Dog Park
One of the advantages of being a multiple-dog family is we never have to get in the car to go to a dog park. We are, after all, our own dog park. One of the challenges is what to do with the, er, output. Hu-Dad commented he wished he could find the disposal stations just like the big parks… and then discovered you can buy them. So, yes, this now sits in our backyard. Unfortunately, our Hu-Dad has good ideas and bad jokes, so it only took a few seconds until he called it The Thundering Turd. Yeah, we know, that joke stinks.

A Sweeter Prince
His Royal Highness Little Prince Typhoon Phooey goes by many nicknames, including the Little Curmudgeon for his grumpy attitude. He complains when things are late, uncomfortable, or not to his liking. He gripes when the humans ask him to move, not to counter surf, or to behave. Just the other day, Hu-Dad suggested he should try to be a little sweeter. Typhoon’s answer was an attempt to drink the nectar from a hummingbird feeder in the backyard, his best attempt at a sweeter prince.
