Different Angle, Same Reaction
Hu-Dad had a brilliant idea. He’s taken several photos of us exiting the house, but always from the middle of the yard. What if he sat on the step instead? Wouldn’t it be fun to see us running by with nary a glance at the photographer? Roscoe was first. Chalk this one up as a fail.

That Accusing Look
With the demanding nature of so many dogs at Chez Herd, Hu-Dad sometimes forgets whose needs are most important. Frankie Suave shot him that accusing look as a “gentle” reminder. Frankie was ready to go inside, but the door was still shut. Such things simply shouldn’t happen.

Not Up To Nothing
Hu-Dad’s attention was on the rest of The Herd when he spied Roscoe slinking across the yard. When questioned, however, Roscoe claimed looking guilty doesn’t mean he was guilty. Of course, Hu-Dad pointed out that doesn’t mean he’s innocent either.
