Work Stoppage
Hu-Dad stepped out of his study for a few minutes. When he returned, he planned to roll his chair under his desk and resume his busyness, but we had other ideas. Our strategic placement prevents his access, a perfect approach for our work stoppage. We will issue our demands later… as soon as our afternoon nap is complete.

Hu-Dad sat down in the floor with Typhoon who was already suspicious of the threat of close human contact. The Little Prince isn’t big on cuddling except on his own terms. When Hu-Dad mentioned the furs were getting out of control and a brushing was required, His Royal Highness responded, “You’re going to what?” Don’t believe us? Check out the reaction photo on our website.

Hu-Grandmom came through her hip replacement surgery with flying colors, but Hu-Dad spent time at the hospital with her and left Frankie Suave in charge of his younger brothers. When Hu-Dad came home, he asked Frankie how things went, but Mr. Suave, the benevolent alpha (aka, leave him out of things and he doesn’t care what mischief happens), was flummoxed with the question. Best we can tell, Frankie simply took the Fifth Amendment and said, “I don’t wanna say.”

Hu-Dad noticed movement out of the corner of his eye and turned to see this face looking up at him. Those wide eyes, the ears back, and the perfect sit all made it clear the Little Prince was saying, “I have to tell you something.” But what did Typhoon have to report? Come on, Dear Readers, we expect some good responses for this week’s Caption This.
P.S.—We appreciate your good thoughts today for our Hu-Grandmom who is having hip replacement surgery today.
Read Today's Herd StoryResist This
Quitting time for the Hu-Dad’s busyness happens to coincide with walk time for us. As you can imagine, we have a daily negotiation of exactly what time that should occur. When Hu-Dad suggested he needed 15 more minutes, Roscoe decided to engage the ultimate “resist this” face. So, Dear Reader, what do you think happened?
Read Today's Herd StoryThe Good And The Bad
His Royal Highness Little Prince Typhoon Phooey entered the study with his usual grin of mischievousness. Frankie Suave, meanwhile, was napping under the desk. Makes it fairly easy to spot who is the good and the bad, doesn’t it? Though Typhoon would prefer it if you would just suggest he is misunderstood.
Read Today's Herd StoryPlanning Meeting
Hu-Dad discovered a planning meeting being held under his desk in his study. When he asked what the threesome were discussing, they refused comment. For the record, Landon was bounding through the house, but has also refused to explain whether that was a diversionary tactic or just normal Boom Boom Behavior. More will be revealed whenever Hu-Dad figures it out.
Read Today's Herd StoryThe Princely Glare
His Royal Highness Little Prince Typhoon Phooey masters the look of disapproval on his humans, but what might be upsetting His Grumpiness on a Saturday? Your guess is as good as ours, but we thought you should experience the Princely Glare.
Read Today's Herd StoryPaving The Way
Frankie Suave was the first to meet our new vet now that we have moved back to Asheville. Not because he was the oldest or because anything is wrong, but because his rabies vaccination was due by the end of the month. He wowed the staff with his friendly behavior and good manners, so they have high expectations for his younger brothers. Oh, oops, that might have set a bar just a wee bit high for the mischief making youngsters. Frankie just says he’s paving the way, though now he gets to sit back and watch with amusement. For the record, Typhoon is next. Chuckle.
Read Today's Herd StoryA Nosy Armrest
If you slave away at a desk, you might think someone is always watching over your shoulder, supervising to ensure you complete your tasks. In Hu-Dad’s case, it’s not over his shoulder, but under, courtesy of Roscoe P. and a certain nosy armrest. Guess he’s just making sure Hu-Dad does his busyness.
Read Today's Herd StoryMystery Doors
We need your help, Dear Readers, explaining the sudden appearance of these mystery doors in Hu-Dad’s study. Before they were installed, we could go racing through the house distracting Hu-Dad from his boring busyness while we played a fun game of Siberian hide and seek. When the portals were closed yesterday, we were trapped in his study and couldn’t leave. Hu-Dad spent far more time on his busyness. Why would he want to do work when we could play a rousing game of chase through the house? Humans are so weird.
Read Today's Herd StorySuave Sleepy Sunday
We could have an entire discussion about how this photo could be taken any day of the week, but Frankie wants it to celebrate the quiet way he passes Sundays. Something perfect about stretching out on rug, soaking up a sunbeam, and enjoying a Suave Sleepy Sunday.
