Active Lifestyle
As Siberian Huskies, we are a high-energy, hard-driving working breed with a very active lifestyle. We know, watching such constant activity can be exhausting, but it is simply who we are. Even trying to capture a photograph is quite the challenge because of the incredible speed at which we travel. Remember. We are professionals. Don’t…

Biting Off More Than You Can Chew
Typhoon always has the biggest of plans, but all of us can be guilty of biting off more than you can chew. His plan this time was simple. Pounce on his sister and wrestle her to the ground. What could possibly go wrong? Frankie seemed to enjoy the show, but did Typhoon learn his lesson?

A Different Perspective
You can’t go through life only looking at the world in one way. A different perspective can really help you fully understand the whole picture. For example, Cheoah gets bored with her crate, so crosses over to Frankie’s crate and hangs out there. Amazing how different the view can be from someone else’s room. Frankie is…

Supervising
With a week of posts about all of the security duties around Chez Herd, we thought we should take at least one post and talk about the supervising that happens. As you would expect, Queen Natasha the Evil is quite the master at supervisory skills. But she is not alone in her supervising skills. Even…

Typhoon Friday
We declare today Typhoon Friday. Why? As Typhoon would say, why not? Typhoon is our constant comic relief – nothing is too serious for him. Well, that’s not totally true. A brush is considered a major threat. Don’t even attempt it. But, mostly, Typhoon serves as our resident instigator, always trying to stir up a…

Walk Security
For the previous couple of days, we have talked about security around Chez Herd. But what about when we leave the house and go for our evening walk. Do we have walk security? Just when things were quiet, we were invaded with one of the most dreaded beasts possible.

Security Status is High
Nothing moves within eye, ear, or nose range of Chez Herd without being monitored carefully. Periodically, though, something may be spotted, heard, and smelled and, then, security status is high. Notice that Qannik is in the mix. You know the security situation is strong when the Q-Tip is called into action. While Big Brother Frankie…

Feeling Secure
Isn’t it great when you are feeling secure and not worried about your surroundings? With Kiska always on the alert (and Queen Natasha the Evil supervising), other members of The Herd can relax knowing that things are ok. Of course, maybe some members of The Herd should show at least a little concern.

Instigator
Hu-dad was sitting on the deck enjoying the cool evening, so Cheoah wandered over and sat in his lap. That way, Hu-dad could enjoy the cool evening and the pleasure of massaging a Siberian Husky. But, of course, when things are nice and peaceful, an instigator always appears to stir up trouble.

Hiking With The Herd – Big Ridge to Mills River Valley
Yesterday was Saturday, so of course we are out on the hiking trails. We thought we would continue the Mountains to Sea Trail from where we left off last week – Big Ridge Overlook on the Blue Ridge Parkway. Of course, the important part of any hiking trip is identifying the proper trail. The Mountains to…

Family Walk
Spring has settled in here which is perfect for a family walk every evening. Friday night, we did the loop through the ski area (nice and quiet when they are closed for the summer) and up the back side of our field. The weekend is here, so we will be off for some hiking trails…

Prime Spots
As a working breed, we are masters at many difficult tasks. And that includes napping and picking the prime spots for comfort.
