New Waterfall
Our humans took us on a new trail for Thanksgiving. Isn’t that cool? And guess what we found? Cheoah – A new waterfall! Cool! And a waterfall means we get mud all over our paws. Even cooler! Some pups should not sit on a hiking trail, huh, Qannik? Silly boy! He cracks me up.

To all of our friends in the USA May you eat so much that you can’t move off the couch! *********************** We are thankful to all of the volunteers who rescued us and saw that we made our way to Chez Herd. And we are thinking of all of those in shelters and rescues who are looking…

While we normally show you our longer weekend hikes, we get to go on normal walks on week nights – a real challenge this time of year because it gets dark so early. Here you can see the last of the sun setting on a hill to our East. That is actually a part of…

After a weekend spent in the S-RV camping, we were all glad to get home Monday morning. But you know how it is coming home after taking a little vacation time, so many things to do, so much work to accomplish. It is just really difficult to relax. Right, Herd? Kodiak Qannik and Kiska Natasha…

Long time followers know exactly what that face means. Yes, Cheoah is showing her S-RV (Siberian Recreational Vehicle) face! We are taking the S-RV out for a weekend of camping.

Read Today's Herd StoryReally Big Dogs – Up Close and Personal
We have shared with you before The Herd’s fascination with really big dogs – you know, that breed called “horses.” We were out for a walk and one of those big dogs came walking right past us with a human on its back. The dogs were awe struck: Qannik, Natasha and Kiska (and horse hooves…

Our friend Max sometimes shows us signs from South Africa. So, we thought we would share a few signs we have seen in our county. All of these are within a few miles of our house. Not your ordinary curve ahead. Trust us on this one. Wouldn’t it be easier just to say “Don’t Walk…
